Default Walk Away the Pounds - Week 5

Okay Ladies. I don't think I lost any weight over all, despite one week losing 8 pounds. Some of that was a reloss and I've gained the part that wasn't back. The good news is that I lost 7.25 inches total for the three areas that I measured. I lost over 3 inches from my waist alone in the month of March doing only Walk Away the Pounds.

What would you all think of a few changes? Instead of it being primarily WATP workouts, that they be used in conjunction with other types of workouts for variety? I am planning to do one each morning with my husband and then the Power Mile in the evening. I'm also going to try to get to the gym during the week. Any other suggestions for change are welcome.

Edit:
Okay, that was clear as mud. What I meant was - at the very minimum, we use WATP workouts on the days we workout. For example - I plan to workout 6 days a week. If I don't get in a cardio workout at the gym or a walk outside on a given day, then I do WATP. It can be either the primary exercise or the back up of "oh, shoot, it's raining and I haven't been walking yet and the gym is closed and I don't have another DVD I want to do today." And now that it's about as clear as swamp water, I'll leave it at that!

LOL Diane! You crack me up but I get what you are saying! Sounds good to me! Here is what my plan is for now.

Get to the gym Mon-Fri and then in the evenings do a WATP dvd too.
Already hit the gym today so hopefully I will make the time to do my dvd later.


Oh, I didn't lose any inches last month.

Great job to you Diane for the inches you lost! WOOHOO!!!

Got the one with the Walk Belt yesterday at Wal-Mart for less than $13. It was a pretty good workout. Kids kept asking when I was going to finish and I was wiped by 2 miles, but I kept going and did the full 3. In new shoes. I don't recommend that.

Sounds like a plan to me!!!! I did not measure myself before I started WATP but I am happy to say that I am in a size 8 now (pants) At first they were extremely tight but I put them on anyways. Now they fit normal. I am top heavy and am and will probably always be in a size M. My weight did not change too much maybe I'm down 2 - 3 pounds. I plan on doing yoga tonight. This morning I had oatmeal and for lunch I had a Subway chicken breast sandwich with baked chips. So far so good!!!

Great job Tasha and Debbie on the workout!! I did my yoga tonight and came home and had some pasta with pesto sauce. I think i did okay with the portion control. I have been eating lean cuisines for the past two months so now I'm a little tired of them. Portion control, portion control why is that so difficult????

Debbie??? Has someone called you Debbie again Diane? Sorry Lia, had to laugh! LOL!

Lia, I agree that portion control can sometimes be sooooo hard. You can do it though!

Missed that one. Guess after 4 years in high school being called Debbie, it sort of passes me by.

Lia, portion control is difficult. One thing that has helped me a lot, when I think about it, is to have a food scale. No, not to measure everything for each meal but as a learning tool. Put out what you think is a serving, then weigh it to see how on the mark you are. A great book is The Portion Teller.
