Wanted:Healthy Eating/Exercise/Weight Loss Support

[ba065]

Hi Di:

I've lost probably 40 pounds total...the last 25 due to stress, however, I'm back in a size 9 juniors (haven't been there since H.S.) I've been trying to eat really healthy! Lots of salads, grilled fish or chicken...almost no red meat! Lots of fruit too! I drink an Ensure every morning for breakfast. The chocolate ones aren't too bad if they are really cold and they are small so 5 or 6 swallows and they are gone! They really fill me up!

I love to walk...up to 5 miles a day when the weather permits! I also do pilates, sit-ups and lift some light weights occasionally. When I don't feel like exercising, I'll run up and down my stairs a bunch of times (there are about 15 steps from the main level to the upper level???)

Now that I'm down to my normal size, I have alot more energy and desire to stay that way...so my motivation is really high.

I'm thinking of signing up for a self defense class...that would be good exercise! And, H and I have been taking country dancing lessons, which is fun and a decent workout as well!

This is a great idea! Let's keep it going....I'll leave the oreos behind!
