Whew! I thought for sure that I had gained 20lbs, at least that’s the way it felt. I haven’t been eating well, but I have been walking that treadmill consistently. I lost 2.4lbs and I can’t really complain about that. Although, I expended a lot of energy for those 2.4lbs. In my head it should be more, but I have to remember that it has only been a month since I started exercising and I did only start out doing 5 minutes per session. But, I am up to 30 minutes per session now…Yea!!! So I’ll take my 2.4lbs and run with it, literally. I think I am going to add 1 or 2 minutes of running to the treadmill and 5 or 10 minutes of elliptical machine to the game next week. I also read a blurb in Real Simple about jumping rope and its benefits; which reminds me of jumping DoubleDutch as a little girl.—That was always so much fun.
Well everyone, wish me luck and I will see you back here next month on August 6th for my next weigh-in.
Good luck to you on your journey.
Ps: I saw my doctor yesterday and we discussed my sleeping problems and she is sending me to do a sleep study to determine whether I have sleep apnea or not.





Congrats on your loss! It’s one heck of a journey – I am on board as well. Good luck with the sleep clinic. Its tough to admit you may have sleep apnea, but you’ll feel so much better afterwards. Take care and have a great July!
Three cheers!!!! you are doing so great. Health and Happiness, Lady Rose
yay! you sound great! i highly recommend the jump rope by Tanita that counts calories and rotations/jumps. it was like $20 at a sports store, you could probably find one at target!
cheers!
