MWM Program Underway

I went to start up on 3/20 and actually started the program on 3/21. I had my first weekly meeting tonight and weighed in. 5 pounds already gone! I know it's probably mostly water but it still felt good to weight in and see it on the scale. I'll be weighing in each Monday and I'll post updates here.

We also have a class every week. Tonight it was about exercise and how critical it is to weight management. They actually said that the American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes 3 times per week. But this is just for heart health! To control weight you actually have to work out 4-5 times per week. Never knew that!

We also talked about ways to increase your activity level just in your daily life. Like, walk the dog instead of just letting him out. Or park further away and walk. Or take the stairs. I'm going to try to start doing some of these things.

More next week!
