Weightloss Update......

Happy Sunday & Happy Father's Day!......In a few minutes, I am off to wrap my gifts & bake cakes to the two special "dads" in our family.....Our celebration will be this evening so I am not quite as behind as it seems! :)
***********************************
I also wanted to post about this last week,

"weight-loss wise".
Last week we went on a small family vacation to Palm Springs, CA....a couple hours away from where we live in San Diego....We stayed in a hotel that offered rooms that included kitchens, so we were able to make our own meals, which helped so much when trying to eat healthy!....

The resort also had the most glorious pool area!....Just gorgeous!....So yes, I was putting on a bathing suit....not really comfortable walking around in one, but this is my life & my vacation & as my daughter Holly always says, "this journey is a marathon, not a sprint!"...so I am going to enjoy myself with swimming & sunbathing!

I basically tried once again to focus on fruits & veggies & did quite well doing so!....Not lots of exercise this week, which I regret, since I did indeed let my "busy-ness with work" take over there....but overall feel I did quite well this week!

Yesterday when stepping on the scale at Weight Watchers, I had lost 1.2 lbs...which makes my weigh-loss total for the last two weeks.....3.6 lbs.!..
This week I plan to exercise more & have already scheduled in "walking" for many days this coming week!.....

Also need to find some great low-cal recipes!....So if you have any recipes you would like to share, please send them my way & I will post them next week!
Here's to another great week, taking care of myself first!...
Make it a fabulous week at your house too!.....

See you next Sunday!......Your friend, Heidi XO

"Weight Loss Update"....

Hello Friends, I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!...I wanted to check in with you all about this last week, & let you know my progress on the road to losing weight & getting healthier!...
Well, I am thrilled to report that I had a fabulous week!...I walked approx. 13 miles this week, I ate right, stuck to my point allowance & wrote everything down! ( which certainly does help!)
I still enjoyed frozen yogurt, grilled salmon ( many times) & lots of fresh fruit & veggies!...lots & lots of veggies!!! :)....I even entertained a group of dear friends for dinner, & ate everything they did...just planned for it!...& watched my proportions!

So off to Weight Watchers I went this morning & I had lost 2.4 lbs.!....I already feel thinner & have much more energy than a couple weeks ago!....
Now after my post last Saturday, I had many of you writing me the most supportive comments, with some of you deciding to join me in your own weight battles!.... which I find so incredibly nice!...So please write me & let me know how you too did this past week!...and if you too have any tips!......For me, it was eating "real" food, nothing processed!....I feel real food not only sticks with you longer, it also just makes you feel better all around!...and one other thing, I ate no red meat, chicken or pork...just fish!....It was a bit challenging, but something I have wanted to try for some time! Not yet declaring myself as a vegetarian, but headed in that direction! :)

So now we are off for a few days in Palm Springs!.....I am entering this second weight loss week with a renewed energy!...which comes from not only taking care of "me"...but having support & friends like all of you!.....
Have a wonderful week ahead!

Love, Heidi XO
