Week 2: Weight Loss Review!
Week 2: Weight Loss Review
Week 2 Wt. Loss = 8.4 lbs
Total Wt. Loss = 21.8 lbs
I did okay this week. I cut my calories down way too low and my body went into starvation mode for a day or 2. I increased my calories on the last few days and lost more weight. I replaced my usual morning breakfast with my own special meal replacement shakes. Next week on my 4 day off of the 3 Day Diet, I will be making Joan's Meal Replacement bars and my shakes to substitute some of my meals.
I incorporated exercise into my weight loss regimen this week...it was great! I used the workout videos available on Netflix. They have some pretty good stuff, especially the 10 Minute Solution, Pick Your Level Pilates, and Dance Off the Inches videos. Each day I increase my workout time by 5 minutes. I'm up to 40 min. so far...yay me! My goal is to be able to workout 60 minutes a day or 30 min. in the morning and 30 min. at night.
I'm still using the calorie counter through Calorie Count About to track my calorie intake each day. I love their program! I can also keep track of my activity and weight. I have 3 very cool and motivating supporters who provide me with good advice. I'm also supporting a few people, even though I'm a newbie.
The major downside to this week is that I did not complete my 7 day cleans :-( I will start back on it tomorrow and finish the reminder of the pills. Either way, I'm excited about the weight that I'm losing. My clothes fit better also and I have more energy!!!

Weight Loss Journey: Week 2
Week 2: May 28 - June 3
Since I had success with the 3 Day Diet in Week 1, I will continue it in Week 2. For 3 days I will follow the diet and then eat a low-calorie diet on the other 4 days. I have been keeping my calories under 1200 per day on the "off-days". Yes, I know that is low but I'm desperate to lose weight...just being honest :-)
10 to 14 cups of water a day is my goal and I'll drink green tea too. Just like in Week 1, I will post everything I ate during the week at the end of the week...lol.
I will also be incorporating exercise into my journey this week. I LOVE Netflix so I will use some of their workout videos. The main one will be Dance Off the Inches: Fat Burning Jam with Michelle Dozois.
