Weigh In: I lost 6.6 pounds for a total lost of 48.8 pounds lost. I had a silent goal of losing 50 pounds by my daughter's 2nd birthday. Her birthday is on Sunday and I think I am going to make it!
Nutrition: On Monday I had a moment of weakness and had pizza and soda. After that I jumped back on track and completed 6 days of the Dr. Oz Diet. I even went out to Applebees on Wednesday and had one of their healthier meals. It was actually pretty good and filling.
Fitness: I went to the gym two times and had 2 long walks. I did get to try the Arc trainer and did 6 minutes on my first try. It was a bit difficult when the back of my right knee started to tighten up. I also did the elliptical and treadmill that day. The next gym day I got up to 10 minutes on the Arc trainer and did 25 on the elliptical and 25 on the treadmill. I am really enjoying the "me" time I get at the gym. I didn't do any strength training so I really have to work on that this week.
I got to try the Hyperbiotic Pro-15 Perfect Probiotic and in my opinion it really is perfect. The first thing I love about the Pro-15 is that the pill is tiny! I have tried two generic brands before the Pro-15 and the pills were so big that it was kind of hard to swallow. It works so well that that it releases the good bacteria slowly instead of in one shot like most probiotics. The slow release prevents any upset to the stomach like bloating. Sometimes I would get bloating when I took the generic probiotics and I didn't experience that when taking the Pro-15.
I truly believe that taking the Pro-15 everyday this week really helped bump up my pounds lost. I tend to lose more weight when I take my probiotics everyday than when I forget and miss some days. If you are looking to take a probiotic I highly recommend the Pro-15 Perfect Probiotic. You can find out more on their website: http://hyperbiotics.com/ and order it from Amazon.

ReplyDeleteWow. So amazing. Once you get started on a journey and maintain your focus, you are literally able to astound yourself! 50 lbs is quite an achievement. Congratulations. You are incredible!
ReplyDeleteGood for you - keep it up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your achievement! You are an inspiration! :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your weight loss--so inspiring! I love accomplishing goals--working on my own. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I'm sure you're happy seeing these numbers. It is great to see the hard work pay off.
ReplyDeleteI like the small pill size--and so would my Mom who takes one of those giant gaggers every day. Going to share this info with her!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I am nearly 6 months down. It gets easier as it goes, doesn't it? Keep it up, you're doing great.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! I had a weight loss goal for this summer and got sidelined by what turns out to be a serious nerve problem. Warning to all those exercisers out there, if you face persistent pain after exercise go to the doctor!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your sweet girl. Kudos to you for getting healthier for her -- and yourself, of course.
Wow! I am so glad that you made your goal and you are doing it the right way. I am sure you will be able to keep it up!!! I am so happy for you and your family on your new healthy lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteWow! You should be so proud of yourself!! Keep up the good work and keep us informed!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your weight loss. I just restarted my nutrition and exercise routine myself. I hope I am as successful as you have been.
ReplyDeleteLove the size and time-release function. Makes it easier to digest! http://www.parentinghealthy.com/
ReplyDeleteI love that its a small sized pill. I can no longer stomach those huge things. Off to check out the diet too. I need to get myself back on track.
ReplyDeleteI think allowing yourself to have a little cheat now and than is okay... Everything is fine in moderation! I have completely cut pop, sweet and salty snacks out of my diet for 3 weeks now, but I will occasionally allow my self to indulge on a tiny piece of cake or a scoop of ice cream at birthday parties and such. I feel that if I deprive myself too much I may just stop altogether and I don't want to do that... AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on meeting your goals. The probiotic can really come in handy in protecting the system.
ReplyDeleteI like that it is so small making it easier to swallow. I like that you only need to take one each day too.
ReplyDeleteGoals are really the only way i lose any weight.. I know you will make it before Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I know you got this if you made it this far Sunday you'll probably be down 51! lol :) or more. Good Luck and keep up the great work. I'm working slowly on it myself now :)
ReplyDeleteWith this kind of dedication it is no wonder that you have been able to lose weight. Great job!!
ReplyDeleteYour doing awesome. I am challenging myself too outdo myself each day. I use a fitbit flex and I track my steps and each day I have to increase them from the day prior. I am currently on day 2 of 100.
ReplyDeleteYour Doing Awesome Keep Up The Good Work!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss. I know how hard losing weight is ...I struggle with weight issues myself. You are doing great!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the weight loss! You are only human so it is okay to slip and have a slice of pizza! No one can judge you for that. We are human and well pizza is awesome!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!

ReplyDeleteYou're almost to your goal, you got this! I used not to be able to swallow pills like this, I sometime still have problems, I rather it be something I can drink.. my husband cant take pills at all, he pours them into his protein drink at night, it's nasty, lol
ReplyDeleteYou go!!! Good progress!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the Pro-15 before. I could probably use something like that for when I start working out!
