After the meeting, I met my friend GP at the gym for a workout. I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and a nice weight circuit. Then, I headed to the grocery store to find foods that would make me successful. I had the grocery list on the back of the Simple Start booklet for suggestions. When I came home, I felt empowered and ready to get started.
This week I mostly stuck to the Simple Start booklet. I was really good about drinking plenty of water, eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and trying to make healthy and delicious meals. I got on the elliptical again on Tuesday, but that was my only other workout for the week. I'm fighting a cold, and don't want to push myself too far.
This morning, I made it back for another weigh-in and meeting - YAY ME! One week conquered. I lost 6 pounds this week - which I am pleased with, to say the least. Every week won't be like this one, so I'll take these when I can get them. I had two friends return to the meeting with me today, and that made me happy. It's wonderful to go on this journey with friends - a journey to a healthier life, more energy and clothes that fit better.
