I Want To Zumba!!

Was a little disappointed today when I weighed in at WW. I only lost .6 lbs but I'm grateful that I didn't gain. That's is one of my goals, losing no gaining. I know every week can't be a big loss but I expected more. I have to amp up my workout. I know that's the problem. I am so lazy when it comes to working out. I've decided to use my Zumba dvd's that are just sitting in the box looking at me. I can hear them calling me, " tonnette take us out please, use us!!!" LOL. On the Zumba advertisement you can burn up to 1000 calories per 1 hour workout, all I need to burn is 500-600 calories per workout. That would help me a lot but in order to burn calories you have to get moving. Something I'm not doing enough of. So far in 4 wks I've lost 6.2 lbs. I've averaged 1.2 lbs. a week. That's ok but I know I can do better. Got a long way to go but my first goal is 12 lbs and I'm half way there. Going grocery shopping today. I'm doing much better with my food choices now but I'm still struggling with portion sizes. When I prepare a meal I really love it's so hard not to go back for seconds....I'm working on that:-/ Next time I'll give a review on my Zumba workout. Hopefully after 4 days of Zumba maybe my weight loss will be something I can be excited about.

I'm Back and Love to Snack!!

It has been 2 years since I've blogged on my weight loss and yes I'm still battling my weight. I've changed the name of my blog because I figured out that I'm for ever changing. I'm pretty much the same person but my preferences are changing, how I deal with people or situations have changed, what I want to do with the rest of my life has changed. I have a grand son now who is 8 mos. old. Having him in our lives has changed so much of my life that I feel I must "Re-invent" my self. I did the same thing when my daughter was born. I want to be around when he grows up and have children. Sooooo.... I'm back at WW for the 4th time. I'm feeling defeated but I know I can win this battle. I have just not been consistent with exercising or my food choices. I've been through some personal trials that seem to had taken precedence over my weight loss. My health is still in jeopardy and that's what worries me the most. I've been back at WW for 4 weeks now. Tomorrow I weigh in. So far I've been doing good. Working out, eating right and taking my vitamins. My biggest problem and always has been is snacking. I love to have dessert after dinner or just something decadent before bed. So I found something I love and that's the Fiber One Brownies. The chocolate peanut butter is my fav but I love the double chocolate too. They only have 90 calories per brownie and that turns into 2 pointplus points for WW. So I have my decadent snack and I'm staying on my program. It's a win, win!!! I plan to post my weight loss tomorrow. Keep Hope Alive!!
