Why Don't Pounds Melt Off In The Heat?

Just a question - especially here in Arizona we should be shedding them so fast in the summer.

Finally found my scale. And wish I hadn't. It has been some time since I had weighed myself, and I had gained. I think what will help motivate me is to weigh myself daily. Then I know what extra effort I have to put in the next day.

I did have good news today though. We had a wellness check-up at work. And while I sucked at the step test (not even making it the full 3 minutes), my cholestero;, my HGL and all that were in the desirable range!

I will close with a quote from Dr. Eisenson of Duke University: "You'll have bad days and even bad weeks. As long as you don't give up, you're still making progress."

I am doing my very best to get some poundage off before my sister's wedding....so far, down one and half pounds. I would like to lose at least 6 or 7, preferably more....we'll see, though. I tend to lose really fast, plateau, etc. It's a never ending cycle......aaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Okay, Donna - how did you fare in California? Were walks on the beach or playing with the dog of any benefit?

I participated in our employer's step program which ended July 1st but I'm proud to say, I'm still hitting the treadmill. Well except for the 114 degree days when it got to 90 degrees inside the workout room. My newest "difference" is once or twice a day walking up the stairs to use the restroom on the third floor of my building.

We've got a fitness assessment in a week and I don't want to be (too) embarrassed.
