Oh my, the last couple weeks have been VERY busy with work. We've been rolling out new software and it's occupied a lot of time...even outside of the office walls. I spent nearly 8 hours working from home on a Sunday...good thing it was cold outside.
So, I didn't get out here to post a week 8 update and now it's already the end of week 9. Tomorrow is the official first day of week 10 of my program. So here's a quick update of the numbers..
Week 8 - down 2.4 lbs.
Week 9 - down 2.4 lbs.
How odd is that to be down the same exact number for two weeks in a row. So that's 4.8 or I like to round it and say 5 lbs. :) My total since starting the program is 39 lbs., but my total overall is 45 lbs. I've passed the 10% loss mark!
I've been able to add very lean meats and vegetables to my daily diet. I have been eating salads quite a bit. The first one I made was so pretty (colorful) - I should've taken a picture of it. It had regular garden salad mix along with baby spinach, sliced tomatoes,sliced black olives, very lean deli turkey, mild banana ring peppers and I topped it with some light italian dressing. It was SO good and I didn't even miss the cheese or croutons or bacon bits from my "pre-program" salads. These new salads I'm doing taste so much fresher and light but satisfying. I can't believe the amount of blue cheese dressing I used to use!
My activity lately has included pretty much anything I can think of to keep moving. I do knee lifts and stomach crunching while sitting at my desk at work. I make a point to get up out of that chair and stretch and move regularly. I park alot further from the door. I bought at weighted pilates ball and a mat and have been doing a few toning exercises. I just do whatever to keep moving. I really don't have a set regimen right now...because I seem to be the type that gets bored easily. So I do something a little different every day usually.
I noticed that I have a couple more followers...that makes me feel really great. I will do my best to give you something to follow at least once per week.
Please keep up your efforts. We can do this!

Nice work on keeping moving, even when stuck in a chair all day. I'm kucky in that living alone with no pets means I can exercise whenever, but it's not that convenient for most people and you're doing a really good job fitting it in wherever you can.
Awesome Dottie! Congrats on all the excercise and for two weeks with a great loss!!
Way to go on the weight loss. You are doing great. Keep up the good work. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
Congratulations on another loss - you're doing great!
Ahhhh, I love reading your posts! they are full of inspiration for me. Thank you!!
Congratulations on the weight loss! I need to get on the wagon. I start then stop repeatedly. Commitment is what I need!
Keep up the good work.
Great job Dottie! Have you tired walking videos? I love them because it's private and easy. I also have a table-top bike you can use on the floor or table for arms. I am alternating those right now.
Slow and stedy wins the race!

SO GLAD to hear you're still at it! I've always been impressed by you! I need to get back to the exercise... I miss it! Walking just isn't cutting it for me anymore!
Awesome job!
