Newness of Weight Loss

I have just lost 1/6 of the body fat I want to lose. I have lost 20 pounds! Now that may not seem like much to you and it doesn't really sound like so much to me. But I will tell you one thing for sure, it feels like a phenomenal amount of loss to me. Since I am religiously doing my aerobic exercises, I can breath so much better. I went to lunch with a co worker yesterday. I had been eating in my office for two months because I was bringing whatever was on my program each day. When my co-worker and I walked to her car I just felt wonderful because I had spring in my step and I was not winded while walking. I have asthma, but it is much better with just this little amount of weight loss.

Also, and I know this sounds simple, but everytime I get up out of a upholstered chair or couch it is so much easier. I get up off the floor with so much less effort and really less pain. I have a long way to go. But, when I loose all of the weight I want to I think I might just float around. It is mind boggling to imagine how I will feel when I have off 100 pounds!!!! Yea, I think I will float around then. Sounds good, huh.

I don't know if anybody but a few family members will read this, but if you are needing to lose 20 pounds or 200 pounds then the one tip I have for you is GET UP AND MOVE (I got that from my brother who has lost a tremendous amount of weight on determination, effort and right eating). And, while you are moving don't move to the kitchen.

The human body responds so quickly to just a little bit of extended exercise it will amaze you if you are not exercising regularly. Just go for some 30 minute walks every day. If you can't do that just walk 5 minutes with the 30 minutes as your goal. Just get up and do something. I promise you - your life will change.
