Starting Weight: 149
Goal: 125
Week 3: 144 - lost 1 pound
Total Lost: 5 pounds
Last week I made progress on my workouts…
I got in a workout each day Mon-Fri. Tuesday Troy and I played racquetball for 45 minutes - I won the match just barely. I also did a yoga class in the evening. The rest of the days I used the treadmill and elliptical trainer. I alternate 15 minutes on each to keep it interesting.
Friday I went to a retreat for the weekend and did okay on my diet, eating moderate portions. I did splurge on Saturday though — breakfast was biscuits and gravy, but I limited myself to one. There were also some very tasty treats - brownie pie and chocolate chip cookies, oh my! I really fell off the wagon Saturday night though when we went to a Cajun restaurant — too many fried foods. But it was all very tasty and a fun time with friends, so I’m not regretting it too much. Now it’s Monday and I’m back to my senses. 
Awesome sandra, that’s 5 pounds in 3 weeks… add some strength training to your menu.
I know most women doesn’t like doing strength training or thinks that it’s Men’s Domain… but trust me… this will help you in long run like with bone density, muscles fibers.

You’re right I need to do more strength training. Yesterday I did 20 minutes upper body with weight machines and free weights. At least one more day per week with weights would be good, but three would probably be better. Thanks for the encouragement!
