Here we go again
I'm a return participant for Lighten Up 2012. I came in 3rd place but put some weight back on and still have quite a few pounds to go so I'm back. I hope to learn from my mistakes since the contest ended and not put any weight back on after this Lighten Up is over! I can't win anything but being allowed to participate again is reward enough! My main nutritional goal for the month is to go back to keeping track of portions and calories. I think the first mistake I made after the contest was stopping using my food diary. I used MyFitnessPal but the health dept has hooked us up with Vitabot so I'll give it a try. I stopped using the food dairy as soon as I stepped off the scale for the last weigh in ![]() My fitness goal for the month of February is to get back to more exercise so I'm back to using a pedometer. The walking really helped get me going and lots of times the pedometer helped me do a "just a little bit more" to make it an even mile or set of steps. I love the water fitness classes at the Y too. I'm back to 2-3 times a week. I have a bad neck and back and I feel so much stronger when I do it and it certainly helps with the pain especially using the whirlpool after class. I had so much energy last spring & summer the grandkids certainly benefited. I have literally hundreds and hundreds of pictures of all the activities we did and places we went! We had a blast. I even went on a vacation with my sisters and went hiking and zip-lining. I never would have had the energy before I started the program last year. It really changed my life. I've slowed down a little bit now but hope to get up to speed soon! |
