Week Two

So I've completed the first of five weeks of my new diet and exercise regime. My weight is now 141 pounds. I lost three pounds this first week, which I'm very happy about. My goal for the next four weeks is to lose two pounds a week, which would put me right about on target. (It isn't recommended to lose more than 2 pounds a week because if you lose weight more quickly than that it is difficult to keep it off- plus I'm nursing). That would be a total weight loss of 11 pounds and I'd end up at 133 pounds and hopefully have lowered my body fat % (which was in the "very bad" range when I had it tested at the gym). My "clothes goal" is to be in my size 6 Gap jeans and the super cute (thanks honey!) Oregon Ducks t-shirt that Matt just bought me, which is actually from the juniors department. Next week, hopefully I'll be reporting my weight in the 130's! I can't wait to go to the gym today, I really enjoy working out and I feel great while I'm doing it and afterwards. I may start supplementing my gym workouts with a 15 minute home exercise video about three days a week. I'm so excited and motivated that I'm finally doing something to change how my body has been feeling and looking for so long. I'm excited to start feeling healthier and stronger. Yeah Fit Club!
