I am thrilled to report that Friday when I weighed in at my T.O.P.S. Group, that's Take Off Pound Sensibly I was down another 2.4 pounds. Now I'm not on accountability about weight but about exercise. However, the two are closely entertwined. Since January 2013 I have now removed a total of 74 pounds. I was tempted to bump the number one more pound to make it appear more impressive (LOL) but 74 is impressive enough standing alone!!!
I am happy that not only am I doing my Pilates 100's daily (sometimes twice daily), I've increased my natural activity by walking farther each day. Every step counts!
I've added arm workouts with five pound weights. That's not a big amount but all I'm attempting to do is add some tone to my arms & allowing the loose skin to catch up. I'm 66 so I don't have as much elasticity as I did when I lost weight before but even if I have wrinkles, sags & bags, it's better than lugging around all the excess baggage I'd been carrying.
I am thankful for seeing the efforts on this journey to give me the satisfaction of feeling successful.
I will send photos to show you when I reach my goal. I can already see me accepting a Crown to be T.O.P.S. Royalty next year as my reward for my accomplishment.
