Five and a half pounds, as of this morning!
I haven’t started exercising yet. I wanted to begin to establish one combination of new habits first, before trying to add another. The eating-right thing is going really well and I’m very happy with my progress. I think I’ll start my exercising next week.
Back in 2004, when I lost about 45 pounds doing Atkins, I was dancing for exercise. Nothing special. I just made some mix CD’s and played them on a little portable CD player with headphones (ok, not as little as an MP3 player, but anyway) and I danced in my living room. It was fun, it was private, and it seemed to work.
I like walking for exercise also, and I’ll be doing that too, but I can dance in my living room no matter what the weather is like or what time of day or night it is.
Months ago, I ordered two different sets of DVD’s. One is Hip Hop Abs and the other is Island Girl Dance Fitness Workouts, the Hula Abs & Buns and the Cardio Hula. I think alternating between them will make for good variety. I tried both when I first got them, and they’re both fun, but the Hula is really fun.
So, those are my exercise plans. I’m thinking every-other evening. Mornings would be better, if I got up early enough. That’s a whole other challenge, though. One thing at a time.
