Cycle Flux – You Didn't REALLY Gain 5 Pounds!

I haven't worked out save my constant hip rotations, shimmies, etc that I do ALL the time. As I write this, when I'm on the couch watching TV, in bed waiting to fall asleep, when I do dishes, and even in at Target (that store just makes me want to wiggle!). I weighed myself last week and gained a couple of pounds but I need to weigh through out my 'cycle' so I know what my weight range is. It's usually about five pounds flux but I need to know my high and low so I know if I actually gained weight or not.

I suggest all woman do this even if you don't believe in weighing more than once a week or month because you may think you have gained weight when you didn't, your just in your cycles' flux. Just one month of this from the beginning of one cycle to the end of the next should give you a good gauge so you don't panic when you are five pounds heavier the next month just because of timing!

My Goals:
That said, I i'm planning to add belly dance work out & instructional videos to my routine. I have seen the need for order, to set goals and build a flexible routine that I can follow. I belly dance because it feels good as I mention at my other blog, Dragonfly Enchantment. I do it because it's fun! That's also why I hoop. I know that I have to do things I enjoy or else I wont do them. As long as I break a sweet each day I will count it as a success. So we have weekly hooping, possibly daily stretching, belly dance, resistance training, and house work (yep, it counts! It makes me sweat more than anything).

Where I'm at Now

The Beginning of My On-line Weight Loss Journey

noreply@blogger.com (Ms Dragonfly) — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 20:35:00 +0000

I went through one tragedy after another, emotionally and physically that put pounds upon pounds on. I took a lot of weight off after my divorce years earlier and here I am again over weight and needing to shed pounds. I've done it before, lost 80-90 lbs. naturally so I KNOW I can do it again! And I want to do it again with you. I find that having people who are going through the same thing, who support you, keep you accountable helps SO much in the process of getting your body, health, & life back.

My method is natural safe weight loss with a focus on healthy eating (NOT diets), exercise that is fun and I can stick to, and self love! I will be sharing my journey and give tips, share my success and failure and hope that you do the same. If you want support in a private setting you are welcome to join my ning: dragonflyenchantment.ning.com and join 'moving enchantment' group, participate and start conversations in the forums!

I invite you to also follow me on twitter{i'm a twitter junky} to get notice when I publish a new post, you can also follow my blog, sub to the RSS or atom feed, etc.

I look forward to this losing more weight this year! With my new total gym I should be able to make it through the coming holidays unscathed. *crossing fingers* it is supposed to slim me down and not bulk me up. I'm hoping to not only get toned but cut. A four pack and arms like the mom in “Terminator” – the original movie – would be awesome!!
