Just a Quick Update

It's been a while since I've reached my goal weight and I'm feeling very confident with maintaining my weight. My goal was 135 pounds, which is 50 pounds from the height of chubbiness. My weight has been fluctuating between 133 and 135, which I'm extremely happy with. I may try to lose a few more pounds as time goes on, but I'm happy being in this weight-range for the time being.

I received a bicycle as an Easter present from my parents. This has turned out to be an excellent gift. I ride about 2 miles each time I take the bike out and will eventually increase this amount as my body tones and I build up endurance. When I was younger, I used to have to push the bike up the hills around my home, but since I've gotten the new bike, I haven't had to push the bike since I walked it out of the store! This to me is a great accomplishment.

The weather is warming up around here and I've been using my trampoline. (Only ten minutes of bouncing burns about 100 calories!) I can't wait till hula-hoops are put out in stores for Spring... I can work on my core while watching tv or take it outside and enjoy the fresh air. I've been thinking of getting my old jump rope out too. Amazing how the toys of one's youth can be great workout devices later in life. This summer, I'll be working at a scout camp and hopefully I will be able to take my toys with me and also incorporate some swimming as I'll have access to the lake.

As Spring and Summer approach, I plan on adding more recipes and tips to the blog. If you are just starting your weight-loss adventures, Summer is a great time to incorporate activity into your lifestyle and daily routine. If anyone has suggestions for a blog post, please comment and I will try to put my spin on things!
