Yay for Nice Weather!

So, I have been on WW for a week and a half.  So far, so good.  I weighed in on Saturday (2/28) and I was down 2.8. So the stats are this so far:

Start weight:  183.4
Week 1 weight: 180.6
Change:  -2.8

I have been loving the Wii Fit.  It is really fun, so you don't feel like you are working out.  I don't know how much of a work out it really is, but it's better than sitting on the couch.  My favorite is the yoga.  I think that the strength training is the best workout, though.  I try to use it everyday for at least 20 minutes.  Today I was on it for 55 minutes, and I will probably do another 5 because I have OCD and hate that it isn't an even hour.

The weather today is great!  (The Mid-West has the weirdest weather, BTW.)  It was in the 50's, so I took a walk in the afternoon.  I strapped on my pedometer and grabbed my Ipod and explored my new neighborhood.  I ended up walking for 41 minutes, going 4897 steps.  That is 2.086 miles.  I burned 250.9 calories.  I feel like that is a pretty slow walk...but it didn't feel slow while I was walking.  Hopefully I get better.  I have been looking into the Couch to 5k program, but I'm scared of it.  I am trying to work up to that.

My hubby has also been doing great.  He lost over 5 lbs. his first week!  It is so much easier to stay on track since we are doing it together.  And since I have added fish and poultry into my diet, it is nice to only have to cook 1 meal a night and know that we will both eat it.  Speaking of which, I should go think about what to make for dinner!
