20. The Big One Five
I hit a milestone today...15 lbs gone!
And, I'm happy to report it's only (only??) been 14 weeks. Yup, 15 lbs in 14 weeks...the lbs are still in the lead. Go lbs!

13. Dead Heat
This week's weight loss brought to you by the number...
Another pound melted off this week. Oddly enough...again...weight loss and inches lost are equal. I really don't know if this is the norm or not.
(Can you tell that I'm getting a little homesick for Belize? All I can think of is heat and sand!)

10. Workout Options
I'm so lucky to belong to a great gym at the Maplewood Community Center. Because of the large variety of classes they offer, I am even able to work out before my sprained ankle is fully recovered.
My usual routine involves cardio, strength/core and yoga classes. Until my ankle heals, I am able to replace my strength/core classes with a class they call Stability Sculpt. This class involves a workout with weights, bands, etc., just like my regular class. But, everyone has a sturdy chair near them for support if needed. Plus, the trainer always gives you modifications for whatever ails ya. For me, for example, the trainer gave me tips on how to protect the sprain.
The gym even offers a "chair" yoga class that allows me to keep up with my yoga. It incorporates the support of a chair for certain poses if you need it...perfect!
It really is a godsend to have so many great opportunities available to me so I can continue with my fitness routine in spite of an injury. Especially considering the fact that I am not capable of descending down a flight of steps without hurting myself!

6. Another One Bites the Dust
Down a pound this week. So, in 11 weeks I'm 13 lbs down. I know, pretty boring.
Here's something a little more entertaining.

4. Twist & Shout
All it takes is one mis-step and bam!
After thirty years of safely managing my way down the basement steps, my little brain miscounted. I neglected the last step and decided to start walking before I cleared the last step and down I went. Ouch! I gave myself a nasty sprained ankle.
So...it's ice, elevation, and crutches for me for a bit. I am bound and determined, though, to take really good care of it so that I'll be back to the gym in no time!

30. An Even Dozen
Well, I guess the party is over with my protein weight loss. I gained a half pound this week.
I'm not gonna beat myself up over this one though. My 5 lb weight loss over the last couple weeks was pretty phenomenal for me.
Also...oddly enough, at this point, my total loss in pounds and inches are both the same at 12. The inches include a loss at the bicep of 1, chest 2.5, waist 4, hips 2.5 and thigh 2.
