todays blog is brought to you by the letter r and the number 13

two days in a row? :)

today is day 4 of shred. its not easy by any means(my push ups are still horrendous) but its getting much easier. today is also my weigh in day for weight watchers. however, being totally fed up with sticking to my "points" and not seeing any results...i have decided to do a bit of experimenting. those numbers, running along the right side of the blog, chronicle my weight loss journey. i lost almost 40 pounds by myself. and as i said in yesterdays blog, since joining weight watchers 1/3/11, i am only down 4 pounds.

so, the experiment. i have decided that this week, i am going to count calories all week. i am eating 1500 calories 5 days a week and 1700 calories 2 days a week. its called calorie zig zagging and its supposed to help you not hit plateaus. we'll see.

anyway, i will also, obviously, be doing the rest of my remaining 7 days of the shred at level one. then next week, i will return to weight watchers. and be completely anal about the plan. and begin shred level 2. i actually think i am giving an advantage to the ww side of the experiment, as shred level 2 is going to be more trying then level 1. anyway, i'll obviously be blogging through the experience.

i tried to start going through everyones blogs and get caught up on whats been going on in your lives...but i got overwhelmed and quit. lol. dree, youre still in ireland? erika i read that you swear by yoga...i always fell over in yoga class lol. and jenn, i obviously knew what was going on with you. im glad fisher jumped on the bandwagon and you guys are dieting together. how are tank and dilla? thanks ladies for the warm welcome :)
