So You Worked Out For A Week, huh?

So this is the end of week one. This week I lost 3 pounds! Woohoo!!

It wasn't that hard either. But I can guarantee that it wasn't the workout that made me lose it, it was the food!

When I started Curves they offered me a free 30-day Curves Complete trial which includes a meal tracker with meal suggestions for each day. I couldn't always do the suggestions (hardly ever) so I just substituted what I had in its place and stayed close to the suggested serving size.

My cousin started and attended each workout with me but did not follow the Curves Complete meal plan. Today she found out she gained close to 5 pounds. I feel bad for her, but I'm pretty sure she's ready to get on board now.

Just so you know, I'm not at the gym everyday. I go 3 times a week, monday, wednesday, and friday. This friday we couldn't go so we went today, saturday. Also, the workouts are only 30 minutes each day so it's not like I'm on some type of "Biggest Loser" workout plan. I didn't do any extra exercise on my own, although I did want to but just didn't make the time. So again, I stress that it is not only about the exercise, it's about the food.

Anyway, this is not gonna turn into a weight loss blog...I hope. :)

Starting Weight: a lot
Current Weight: 3 pounds less than a lot. :)

Good for you! You are right..it has to be a combination of food and exercise... Cardio gets the fat and weights build the muscle..and allow you to keep burning while you are literally doing nothing.. so add a 4th day. do cardio all 4 days.... 30min at whatever speed you can ..you will work up to higher speeds soon..watch... and lift weights 3 of those days for 30 min...

you will see a huge diff in next weeks weigh in..

Good luck.. I am workin on it myself! (hugs)
