Medifast Diet - Week 6

Week 6 is in the books, and it was the my second best week for weight loss. How good was it? I lost 7 pounds this week. I am very pleased with that success, and with my overall weight loss of 35 pounds in 6 weeks.

This past week plus a bit was the start of my exercise regimen. As I mentioned last week, I was exercising to the DVD, Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred. After that workout I would go for a walk to cool off. I did this routine for eight days straight and took a break on Saturday. The Fourth of July was a busy day for V and I, and doing these exercises just did not make the itinerary. There was a very noticeable improvement by the eight day, my endurance has measurably improved and I have made measurable progress.

On Sunday I worked out to the Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones DVD. This is a 40 minute circuit training workout that will kick your rear. Jillian Michaels is a daemon after all. Half way through the program my mind was telling me that I had done enough, that I could work my way up to the full 40 minutes a day at a time. Three quarters of the way through the routine I had decided that Jillian truly was a daemon and was cursing her under my breath. When Jillian announced that we were through, I was surprised it was over. I have recruited my shooting mat for duty as an exercise mat. It is a good thing those things are water proof because it was soaked.

I don't much like exercising, but I really do like the results. V is also liking the thinner me.

Another who is liking the results of the weight loss is my Pulmonologist. At last weeks appointment, not only was my weight down, but so was my resting heart rate and blood pressure.

I do apologize for the major reduction in blogging of late, but it is important that I focus on getting fit and trim. I will try to make the posts that I do publish worth your while and it really won't be long before I am back at it full time.
