Week 1 - Weigh-In


MINI CHEESECAKE TREATS I MADE YESTERDAY...ONLY 120 CALORIES IN 1 MINI CHEESECAKE!!!


Hi guys!!! Well, it's been a week since I started this health and fitness journey. Time for my weigh-in!!! I woke up at 5:15am this morning and immediately weighed myself. DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!! I LOST 2 POUNDS!!! I'm so excited!!! It may not seem like a lot to some of you, but if you know anything about losing weight 1-2 pounds a week is very good. It's not good to lose too much weight fast. The right amount of weight that the average person should hope and try to lose a week when eating and working out correctly is 1 or 2 pounds a week. That is a good, healthy, safe, smart, effective amount to lose. If I can maintain a 2 pound weight loss a week, then that would be awesome!!! I'm just glad I saw some sort of weight loss when I stepped on the scale this morning. Way to go...on to week 2!!! This evening, for my workout, I will be doing strength training and low-impact aerobics for my cardio.

Oh, by the way...just in case you were wondering about the picture above...it's a picture of a wonderful treat I prepared for my husband, son, and I yesterday. They are mini cheesecakes and they are absolutely delicious!!! I got the recipe from that wonderful SparkPeople website. One of the SparkPeople members posted it and I decided to make it. Boy....am I glad I did!!! These little babies are YUMMY..and only 120 calories in one mini cheesecake!!! This recipe is, by far, the best recipe from a SparkPeople member thus far! I never was one who liked to cook. I prefer doing laundry and cleaning. But, since I started this health and fitness regimen and found the SparkPeople website, I can truly say that I've started to enjoy cooking!!! Well...that's it for now...time to go workout and work up a good sweat! Be back later!!!
