Let's Get To Work

Things have really been going well. I've failed to blog because my weight keeps shifting by a couple of pounds like a see-saw. Everything has been going really well though and I have settled in at 168 pounds right now. Finally at my first goal!

I'm really pleased with my eating habits. Minus a few bad moments here and there I've really been sticking to my Insulin Resistance (IR) Diet and it seems to be paying off.

On top of that I've been challenging myself to workout everyday. One of my fellow blogger friends announced that for Lent she was going to work out 30 minutes a day. I decided to do 20 minutes a day because that was do-able for me at this moment. I think everything has really paid off and I feel like I am seeing more differences. And doing just 20 minutes has motivated me to workout 2x a day at 20 minutes each. For instance, yesterday I got up at 6am and worked out before work for 25 minutes and then got home from work and went out for another 25 minute walk. It is great to really enjoy it. And what's 20 minutes?

Sam has a ball coming up at the law school at the end of the month. Although it doesn't seem like a great goal....my goal is to be 165 by March 28. Therefore, I have 23 days left to get down 3 pounds...I think that is totally do-able at 1 pound a week. :)

Let me know how you are doing! I love reading your blogs and am motivated by your jouneys.
