New Year's Resolution - Going Strong

As we all know, New Year's Resolutions are normally broken by February.  I am so happy to say that I have kept to mine.  Since December 26, I have managed to lose 7.5 pounds.  That is just about right on track for my 1 pound per week goal.

The last time I lost weight I lost more like 2 pounds per week, but I also basically ate fish or chicken every night, with a veggie and plain pasta or potatoes.  I was pretty miserable food wise.  I also wasn't exercising.

This time, I have manged to still eat yummy foods that I love, and I am walking almost every day, sometimes twice a day.  It is so nice that my clothes aren't tight anymore and I do notice things like my knee socks getting looser LOL

Now I want to do 2 things to step up my game....I want to introduce something new into my workout routine like Wii Fit or jump roping.  I also want to cut out carbs one or two days a week.  So, who can help motivate me to do some new exercises?  Who has an idea for some "carb free" meals?  I love bread, pasta, potatoes, etc so this is a big challenge!

New Year's Resolution - 3.5 lbs lost

How is everyone doing so far on their New Year's resolutions?  I am actually sticking to mine...so far.  Since December 26th I have managed to lose 3.5 pounds.  Yay, that is actually more than my goal of 1 pound per week.

So far I am basically doing a few simple things to achieve my goal.  I weigh myself every morning.  I know you're not really supposed to do this, but I know I have to cut back a bit if my weight has gone up for some reason.  I try to walk for at least 30 minutes a day.  This isn't much, but it's a lot better than nothing!  I am also trying to eat less and healthier.  I have drastically reduced my sugar intake.  I used to have dessert after lunch and dinner and now I don't even have it every day.

My trusty bathroom scale that measures by the 1/2 pound.

Do you have any tips for me to keep me headed in the right direction?
