Roundup, week of January 17th

What Happened Last Week?

Critical Weight Loss Skill #2 - be satisfied by what you eat! If you're hungry, you're bound to stray from your plan. Use the Filling Foods whenever possible to prevent that from happening.

We had a bunch of things to celebrate this week, including 5 pound stars for Deanna, Emily and Kristen. Ruthie got her 25 pound award and Mary reached 30 pounds lost. What a great start for 2010!

So What's Coming Up?

Critical Weight Loss Skill #3 - Get Moving! Being regularly active is a super duper way to get the weight off, and is actually extremely important for weight maintenance. Studies have shown that those who keep off their weight are more likely to exercise than the folks who gain it back and have to start over. Bummer.

Update on Augie's Quest

Last week I posted about a Two Hour Workout that LA Fitness locations are hosting as a charitable fundraiser for ALS and the Muscular Dystrophy Association. It seems like before any of you folks are willing to sign up, you have this crazy notion that you want to know what kind of workout you're getting into!

I spoke to a fitness instructor at the Kearny Mesa LA Fitness (where I will be on 1/3/2010 from 12-2pm hint hint) and she said it will be two fitness classes back to back: hour 1 is kickboxing and possibly some other form of cardio; hour 2 is yoga and/or pilates. I can't say for sure this will be the workout at ALL locations, just the one I'll be at.

You don't need to be a club member. Your donation to the charity gets you a spot. Information on locations, the charity itself, and a page for you to actually REGISTER and SAVE A SPOT is at the link above. If anyone is motivated enough to do this, let me know! Especially if you'll be at the same club I am. I'd love to see some familiar faces.
