I spent last week in New York with my family and friends. Last Saturday was my mom's birthday and Mekhi and I surprised her by showing up at the party. She had a wonderful time. We all did. I exercised and ate (everything in moderation). I had some of my favorite treats - like sushi and half a shrimp parm. hero. There is one Italian restaurant in my hometown and the heros are to die for. I was proud of myself for just eating half - I used to eat the entire thing but this time I was completely satisfied.
My exercise could have been a bit more consistent - but I got into my grove by Wednesday by doing my Jillian Michaels DVD again. I traveled with my Netflix DVD and used weights that my mom had to do the program. It would have been a workout without weights-this is just a reminder that you CAN exercise when traveling. Even without a national gym membership!
When I weighed in on Tuesday I'd lost almost 3 pounds. I am not sure how much weight I will lose this week but I'll find out this Tuesday. One thing I do know is that even if my weight hasn't changed much the way my clothes fit has certainly changed. I think I will be ready to move down another pants size by March!
Here is my exercise for this week:
Sunday
.
I did 213 crunches in 3 minutes
Wednesday
Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Level 2
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Exercise: 60 minute Spinning class
My weight was taken yesterday during my physical and now I can proudly proclaim -
I AM DOWN 30 POUNDS!!!!!!
The key for me has been consistent exercise and portion control. I also am sure to eat 3 meals and at least two snacks a day. Although I still have 20 more pounds to go before I reach my goal, I am extremely happy with my progress. I've lost this weight in 3 months which I think is a wonderful accomplishment!

That's awesome Renee. Traveling can really be a weight loss killer and it sounds like you beat that demon. WTG!
WOOHOOO!!!!! You worked so hard for that number, but now I'm seeing that you are way past numbers and that they seem to be a byproduct of you just starting to live the way you love....truly awesome Renee. Keep on movin' and groovin'. :o)
My best, Lynn
Snacks are hard for me...I am not a snacker. But I find then I can eat too little calories in a day--and that's not good either. It's a balance for sure.
Woohoo!! 30 lbs gone!! And I saw you tweet about being down a pants size already - good for you!
Thanks for such a great example of consistency. Consistency does pay off!
You're an amazing inspiration to me! Like everyone else has said, you prove to us that consistency pays off! Thanks for sharing with us! You rock!
