I have been officially attending Weight Watchers meetings since mid February. This plan is really helping me. I am still working out 5 to 6 days a week, but tracking my food is a huge part of my weight loss.
I have lost 9.8 lbs in the last 3 months, but I could physically feel myself getting stronger.
I try to eat a ton of fruits and veggies. I eat processed foods but in moderation.
The weeks where I have lost the most weight are the weeks that I eat at least 5 servings of fruits or veggies a day, and that I do not go out to eat. I do still drink red wine, but I limit my intake to once a week. Skinny Girl California Red is my favorite and the least amount of weight watchers points.
Below is my workout routine:
- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday upper body weights, abs, and at least 25 minutes of cardio.
- Tuesday and Thursday is lower body squats, abs, and 45 minutes of cardio.
- Saturday or Sunday is a "fun" cardio day (bike riding, gardening, walking)
The next time I blog, I am hoping to have lost 15 lbs!
