So, hopped on the scale this AM, and I'm down another 2 pounds to 236. That's 10.5 pounds all together.
I'll take it!
This week I'm planning on my afternoon walks (15 min. minimum, more if I've got the energy), and if I have the energy, adding a 15 min. walk at the end of lunch time. Also, we're adding PM yoga or Pilates to our evening. The yoga works the opposite muscles of the AM yoga (or at least that's what it feels like) and the Pilates will help me tone up.
Toning up is IMPORTANT. At least to me it is. We've all seen the little old ladies who have lost a ton of weight late in life, and are saggy/baggy bundles of awesome. I'd like to skip as much of the saggy/baggy as I can w/ my bundle of awesome, thanks! I'm going to get some, I know this. I'm hoping Pilates will help keep it to a minimum. If not, its still really good for building muscle, and everyone needs healthy muscles.
We are focusing more on the yoga, so to begin with, we'll be doing yoga 3 evenings a week, and pilates 2 evenings a week, giving ourselves the weekend off from evening workouts. We'll see how that goes for a while, and maybe - MAYBE - make changes as we feel the need.
One thing I DO NOT want to do in all this is wipe myself out again. I'm noticing a definite up-turn in my energy. I no longer need my lunchtime nap; to the point that I find it annoying to sit there waiting for it to be time to get up. This is good!
So, that's where I'm at. 10.5 pounds lost, blood sugar is under control,, energy is picking up and life is GOOD!
