Today I am on day 3 of my 6 week weight loss challenge. I have a few clients doing this with me as my guinea pigs. My goal is to lose 20ish pounds on 6 weeks. It's a pretty simple program. 45-60 minutes a day of activity 6 days a week and a low fat vegan diet. Cheating is allowed on occasion, but only if the excess calories are burned off with additional exercise.
I have been doing very well and I already feel and look like I have lost weight. I stated at 185 and hope to get down to the 165-170 range. I don't own a scale so I will weight myself at a friends house when I get a chance.
For my daily activity I am keeping it simple...just walking. I am also doing my bootcamp classes during the week and will be adding some pilates classes at the gym in a few weeks.
Today I have eaten a super big mango, 2 peaches, 4 corn tortillas ( a cheat), some steamed white rice (another cheat), and kidney beans, cauliflower, onion and tomatoes I made into a soup.
My crockpot is my new favorite kitchen device. I throw veggies in it all day long so my soup changes with every meal, but my crock is always on.
Today I did 30 minutes up and down the stairs in my building (in my bare feet to help with my plantar fascitis), a little power yoga and a 90 minute walk. I might go walk a little later to make up for the rice and tortillas.
We will see how it goes...here's hoping the weight falls off fast!
