3 weeks

Well fans,
    After three weeks of using the weighnot diet program, I am happy to say that I am down 22 lbs.  It doesn't seem like a lot, but as a friend told me "It is the slow weight loss that usually stays off."  It is surprising that I am down this much after only a brief amount of time considering that I have not really been working out due to knee problems.  What I was doing was taking the dogs for longer walks, about a mile and a half or so, but nothing too extraneous because of my knee and I have a little dog who has had knee surgery and cannot keep up with  me and the bigger dog.  I did break my diet the other day at the Mexican restaurant here in town, as I met up with a friend to eat.  I ordered what I should, trying to stick to chicken, meat and veggies, but my downfall was chips and salsa.  Considering that I have not had any bread "carbs" in three weeks, it was a good treat, but something that I regretted later as it made me feel sick and not "good".

This past Sunday, I started working out again.  I started doing my Insanity program, partially because it was inside and it was too flipping cold out to do anything.  I like running and more than likely will start doing it as well, once it gets a little warmer (today is supposed to be in the 70s!!!), but I began slowly with the Insanity program.  It is a lot of quick moves and can cause some issues with knees, but I am happy to report that the pain in the knee was kept to minimal and I was able to finish the programmed DVD.  I am on day 3 and am doing okay, but icing the knee every evening just in case.  I am hoping that the next couple of weekends, even though I have things planned, I can stick to my diet as best as I can (it will be difficult, going to a couple of parties over the next two weekends, but my plan is to try my willpower).  I will continue to workout, so that should help with any lapses in my diet that I have, but I truly hope to reach my goal.
