I've been so busy! But not so busy to stay on the diet and excersise every day.
I'm back to running every day (except Monday as a rest day). I've gotten my endurance up to run 85-90% of two and a half miles. Then I add in a 1/4 mile warm up and cooldown. Three miles total.
I've taken up a Bikram (Hot) Yoga class once a week, maybe moving to twice a week. The first session was intense but rewarding. I had a great time and felt great afterwards. I am so sore today, although it's becoming more common and less bothersome the more I excersise.
The family and I are joining the YMCA to use the gym and pool facilities. As well as take some occasional fitness classes.
I'm down to 172 lbs. Considering I started at 193 lbs almost three months ago, my progress is great! Or so I say. I'm down two pants sizes and all my clothes are fitting better. I'm now well out of the obese BMI and into the overweight BMI.
Now I need to stop worrying about day to day weight gain. The half pound to one and a half pounds up and down is discouraging, I just need to learn to ignore it and worry about the net weight loss.
Still taking Alli, still can't tell what it's doing for me. But I guess that's a good thing. Apparently it works steadily and you're not supposed to notice if you're losing weight healthily and steadily.
I'll check in later with more details.
