Connie and I are still fighting the good fight. Connie caught a bad cold on Monday and passed it on to me, so we have been sick for much of this week. However, we have stuck to our plan and 30 days into our diet we have lost a combined 35.4 pounds. We plan to ramp up our exercise program in the second month. Connie, along with her Mom, has joined a womens fitness center and will be working out three times a week concentrating on cardio and light weight lifting. I will be implementing some heavier weight lifting, along with isometrics, and we will both be performing more treadmill work. This is more of a lifestyle change for us, than a diet. We are starting to enjoy eating healthier foods, something we hope to make a habit for the rest of our lives. While all of this sounds peachy keen, we do have some days when we don't feel like sticking to our plan as much, but we normally fight through it as a team. Thats it for this week, for those of you out there working a plan, stick with it because the rewards will be worth it in the end. Good luck!
