Weight Loss update

Last month, 4 weeks ago, I joined weight watchers online. At four weeks I am seeing steady progress. I have dropped 9 pounds, with quite a few to go. I'm not sure where to stop, but it's somewhere in the 135-155 range, depending on where my body fat percentage is & how my clothes fit when I get down there.

I am also challenging myself to an exercise regimen that will help rejuvenate my body & support my weight loss. 30 sessions of Hot Yoga in 30 days. It's easy to do with an unlimited membership. Today, I'm doing 2 sessions, because I don't go on Sundays.

There are also a few other steps I've taken to support my activity level, which supports my weight loss, mental clarity & general sense of well being.
1) Replaced the old scale. It was 12 years old and frustrating to use. This morning I stood on it 10 different times, got 6 different readings spanning 6.5 pounds. It was time to toss it.

2) Bought good sport bras to provide more even support. My chiropractor recommended the change to improve muscle spasms/aches in my back. He says it's a common experience for women.

3) Bought 3 new stainless steal water bottles. 3 for $14.99 at Costco 27 oz. adds up to 10 cups of water. They're small enough I can carry them with me into the classroom (at three different schools) and will help me maintain hydration throughout the day. My 40oz. bottle is great for Yoga, but really bulky to carry with school supplies.

4) Found an inexpensive source of fat free animal protein at Costco. $6 something for 48 servings of egg white. I add these to my morning smoothies to increase protein without 3 full fat eggs. Since milk, hemp, soy, rice & nuts milks/powders don't agree with my system, this was a great find.

I've invited Tom to go with me to Hot Yoga on Monday....more on that later. It's a gentle progressive class.
