Intro

Yesterday two sisters had a brain storm. After eating our weight in Easter chocolate we came together with a similar conclusion in an instant: "We better do something about our fat asses right NOW!" We've both struggled individually over a decade with our weight and this time we are teaming up to battle the bulge. The decision to blog about it in an open forum, instead of the Weight Watchers site is so we can be brutally honest. This is going to be one hilarious weight loss trip.

3 diets at once, that's crazy talk!

I'm in my fourth week of joining the 30-30-30 weight loss program at my gym. In addition, I'm using sparkpeople.com to track fitness and calories. All while continuing to count my points on Weight Watchers. Apparently I have lost my mind. It sounds crazy, but each is giving me a different perspective about what I'm putting into my body from a nutritional stand point and the gym program is really teaching me to push myself harder when I work out (and HOW to work out properly). Good news is that in 3 weeks I lost 8 pounds. Bad news is that I'm still 6 pounds up from my lowest last year. Making it a total of 26 pounds, not 32. : (.

Five things that I have learned so far:
1. When eating more fiber you must increase your water, because fiber absorbs water. So drink up!
2. I really can run on the treadmill. Now up to 5.5 mph for 1 minute spurts.
3. Zumba really is fun. Love it!
4. Narrowing down the #1 food trigger: work related stress.
5. Finally, I know what my sodium intake is on a daily basis (thanks sparkpeople!)
