It’s January 2009! Yeah! It’s that time of year for Goals, especially those of the weight-loss nature – drat! We both know that Weight Watchers works (say that three times fast) and we’ve done it before. However, this past fall Shawna had to have three different surgeries on her legs to remove varicose/damaged veins. She hasn’t been able to exercise since her first surgery in October, and won’t be able to start until a month after her last surgery in February. (Sterling was very sympathetic (or apathetic) and decided to also not work out until Shawna could again.)
So, in the meantime, it’s strictly calorie control – no fun. Shawna is tenacious – she’s an animal! Whatever she sets her mind to, she does! She’s already lost 8 percent of her body weight, and she looks yummy! Sterling has lost over 12 pounds, but it’s only 5 percent of his body weight.
This past week, Shawna got the early go-ahead from her Doc, and we’ve started running and exercising. Theoretically the weight will plateau for a little bit (since muscle weighs more than fat) and then keep decreasing. More importantly the inches will continue to come off.
We took “before” pictures, but we’re not posting them here – don’t want you to throw up on the computer… We’re getting ready for Triathlon season… tune in later this Spring/Summer to see how it goes!
