10 pounds and counting

I'm down 10 pounds and counting. Had the day off so I spent the day getting lots of walking in and 45 minutes on the treadmill. I'm tired so I'm off to bed.

Who says you can't lose weight over the Holidays

It's been a struggle the last few months...My doctor read me the riot act. My levels have been back up and I was within ten pounds of the weight that I had my heart attack at. Not good. So I started putting some healthy actions in place and making some healthier food choices. I think that the two most important changes were starting light therapy to treat Seasonal Affected Disorder and buying an electronic BMI scale. The light therapy has really helped my mood and I make healthier decisions about food when I'm in a better mood. The scale has made a big difference as I had stopped using my scale when I renovated the bathroom. It got put out of sight, out of mind. The new scale tells me weight, BMI, percent body fat and what caloric intake to maintain my weight. If I stat under that intake I lose weight. The scale I got on Sunday and I have already lost 8 pounds. Getting on the scale every day makes a big difference. This scale is helping to keep me motivated. So the holidays are no longer a barrier to good health. I can do this.
