Okay..I'm in. I would like to loose about 35 to 40 lbs. Actually I'd like to loose more than that..but hey, I'm being realistic as to what I can do..and what I'll maintain. I was thin most of my life..except the last 6-7 years..and it's crept up on me. 5 to 10 lbs a year..then bingo..you have all this exra weight. HOW THE HE** DOES THIS HAPPEN.
It's like when I hit 43- years old, it just started to come..and stay! The days of loosing five pounds in a week are GONE!.
We(hubby and I) started a walking program at the high school track. We are doing about 2 miles every other day...and with the weather improving the plan is to do it every day. We walk at a very brisk rate..getting the heart rate up. I have to say, when I've done this in the past..the pounds started to drop, but then I'd burn out. That's why I started with the ever other day, trying to make this more about "health" than pounds. I haven't even weighed myself.(I'd have to jump out a second floor window..from the shock) and that wouldn't be pretty. (such a mess on the driveway too!
) Trying to go at this from a health stand point, and honestly what woman can't tell just by the way her clothes are fitting(or streching!
) that she needs to loose a few.
