Down 2.6 lbs this week. Secret? Eat less / exercise more
I've been on vacation this week, so I'm doing Insanity workouts in the morning and then a treadmill 5k in the evenings. Except for Wednesday, when I got up at 5am to do Insanity and then spent all day volunteering at Metroploitan Ministries in Tampa...OMG, 8am-5pm, first task had us unloading a pallet of 50-lb sacks of onions, then it was boxes of canned corn, various other tasks ....I was beat when I got home. Slept 10 hours that night! So I figured I'd burned enough calories to skip a second workout.
Today was weigh-in day, and the results week by week are now:
152.0 .. 150.2 .. 149.6 .. 148.6 .. 146.6 .. 145.0 .. 142.4
WeightWatchers online says I've now dumped 5% of my bodyweight. Cool. I can tell the fat is leaving. Monday will be the Insanity "Fit Test". This was done on day 1, and is done on day 15 and every 2 weeks during the 60-day program (for now on those days, Insanity only calls for the Fit Test; later in the workout the Fit Test is followed by a standard Insanity workout).
So it's been 6 weeks on WW, and I'm down 9.6. That's just over 1.5 pounds per week. Since I'm off this next week as well, I plan to again do doubles - Insanity in the morning and treadmill 5k in the evening. Should be in the 130's in a week or two, and I've not been there in 30 years :)
