The Big Weigh In

Well, tonight was the final class for my Lifestyle Management Program. We did our final weigh in. I lost a total of 20 pounds. I was trying for 25, but I am content with 20 - so far. I think part of it was that was sick for 2 weeks. I didn't exercise at all for those 2 weeks. In fact I hardly moved at all. If I hadn't been sick, I may have lost the full 25 pounds. Anyway, we got some last minute tips on maintenance and how to keep off the weight as that is just as important as losing the weight. There are maintenance classes every 2 weeks if you want to go to them. I think I do need to go. I need the accountability to the plan. The only way I can be accountable is to go to the maintenance class. I also need the support of the other people in the program. I think that losing the rest of my weight will not be as hard, as I will be outside more now - working in the yard, weeding the garden, going to water aerobics, etc. I am going to make more of an effort to walk as well. I would like to start walking to work, but then I am all sweaty by the time I get to work. That is not the impression I want to give to my customers every day. Yipes. Maybe I will just stick to walking after work.
