That's a loss of 3.4 lbs since last Monday. I also lost 1.5 inches from my waist, and a quarter inch off my hips.
I'm so excited! Especially since I didn't do anything drastically different other than drink less coffee and more water. I still have not made the time to work out. But seeing the scale go down is motivation enough to start. I will definitely be working out this week.
Don't get me wrong, I know it was water weight. But getting out of the 150s got me over a hump. It's easier to make good choices when I've already lost a few pounds, because I don't want to undo my progress. I certainly can't see anything different when I look in the mirror, but knowing I'm on the right track is very motivating.
I downloaded an app called Gorilla Workout. I'll review it next Monday after I've had a chance to use it this week.
It looks very basic but is broken down into levels based on your current ability to determine where your starting point is. The goal is to get to the highest level of fitness. Each workout is created for you and uses only your body weight, no other tools needed. It's a similar concept to Insanity, which is that you can do basic strength training moves in rapid succession to increase endurance, muscle mass, and still get all the benefits of high-intensity interval training.
As far as diet, I'm still trying to ramp up my water intake, but I am amazed at how much better I feel when I do. One thing I struggle with is my morning coffee. I crave it and look forward to it. I feel extremely deprived without coffee. I'd like to find a good protein shake/smoothie recipe that I can make in the mornings that is relatively low in sugar and high in protein. How great would it be if there's one that tastes like coffee?! I'm going to look. If I find a recipe and it turns out pretty good, I'll post a separate entry with the recipe.
In fact, I'm going to go look into that now.
Until then!
