Week 4 of the FDOS challenge
So this week has been very active.. I walked for 2.3 miles Monday-thursday, worked out on the wii fit for a total of a hour and a half on Friday and I rode my stationary bike for a total of 2 hours on Tuesday and thursday. I drank 10 eight ounce glasses of water all week. So that would make it 70 glasses.. Wow!..At the end of the week i ended up gaining a pound. So I now weigh 160.4. I have been 160 for a few weeks now so when the scale finally said 159 last week i was jumping for joy. This week is really a reality check that i need to push myself harder to achieve my goal. Some people are saying i look fine, I want to look great! now that i have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in both my wrists and knees its harder to workout without cringing of pain.I am hoping the weight I gained is just water weight and bloating because that TOM Is coming. I maintained a calorie intake of 1300, my breakfast would consist of a thin bagel and a light and fit yogurt. My lunch and dinner would be a salad and a piece of fruit with a turkey and cheese sandwich on wheat bread. I would say this week has been great despite the minor gain. Im Looking forward to a 2 or more pound loss next week..* fingers crossed*

Week 3 of FDOS challenge
I had a ok week, I did not get to work out on my stationary bike for too long;I only got to once this week for 15 minutes.. I have on the other hand been walking for 2 or more hours a day. I have not exceed my 1300 calorie intake; I have been drinking 5-8 glasses of water a day. I know I didn't weigh in last week and I did for a good reason:).. I started off the challenge with 164, I now weigh 159.4... So I'm happy with the results. That is a lost of 4.6 pounds in 2 weeks. I know if I applied myself more with working out it will be a bigger outcome but I think that's a great start.I hope everyone had a great week, I am unable to post my spring outfit right now since I'm not near a computer and I cannot post them on my phone.. So during the week I'll add it for you:)

FDOS week 2
This week has been great.. I have walked for 2 in a half hours for 4 days, I rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes for 2 days and I drank 5-7 glasses of water daily. I could not resist my herbal tea so I had about 3-5 cups of them. If you were wondering the name of the brand of tea I drink it's bigelow tea. They are caffeine free and zero calories; it's a win-win situation.:) I made alot of healthy choices this week; for example instead of eating a krimpet I ate a apple or some yogurt. I have to fight for my yogurt because my kids love it also. I ate salads for lunch and for breakfast I had a yogurt with slice of toasted wheat bread. I did not exceed 1300 calories. I have chose not to weigh myself this week because I want a big loss next week so I'm going to say I'm still 164.. I sorry this is short but it's straight to the point. I hope everyone had a great week, I can't wait to read your results:)
