Beach Body Challenge with Annie McDonnell – A Year of Transformation

HOLDING STRONG AT 10 POUNDS OFF!! (Week 10)

It took me 9 weeks to get to a 10 pound weight loss. I am holding strong at that number FOR NOW. I should have lost weight, but ONE meal did me in…(I believe)

EPIC FAIL: I went to dinner with my Uncle on Saturday evening, and I ordered ravioli with a chicken meatball. Either way, I now know that I need to count calories. That will begin tomorrow!

Using my Fit Bit again ~ Now that I am walking Simon regularly and going to my Wellness Program at Spectrum Physical Therapy, I am warming up my Fit Bit to help me make sure I meet my daily exercise goals. My Physical Therapist says that I need to start off very slowly…and, not to get discouraged, as it is typical to go up, go down, and even plateau. But, his Wellness Program is a huge piece of HOPE for me to finally get the working out part right!

I began the Beach Body “Slim in 6” this last week, and I am loving it. Since I cannot jump around like on the CIZE program (for now), I dance around the house…which is fun, too. At least I know I will not injure myself.

I did have to rest for ONE day, because I have tendonitis in my left ankle, and I had to get a Cortisone Shot.

NEW PLAN ~ One Day at a time!!!!

One thing I learned I cannot live without this week ~ Walking My Dog…Simon. Keeping up with his energy is infectious.

Positive Thinking. Another important aspect of this Challenge. Not giving up, is another one.

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION!  I have crossed off almost ONE Week of the “Slim in 6”, and, I am excited to continue this journey.

With the holidays coming, I am getting nervous about my success. I hope I can remain vigilant.

Please join me next week, where I will have been with the PT program for one full week!
