Finally! Success! After a week of 5 excellent days, followed by 2 days that held more challenges (Valentine's dinner out and a potluck), I am pleased that the scale finally gave me a reward (it only took 15 days, guys!)
In the 15 days, I took 4 brisk walks, did home calisthenics 3 times, and started back on a "Move Free" strength training dvd yesterday. This may not seem like a ton of exercise for those that are able to do Zumba classes and go running, but with my long history of back problems (and spinal impingement, leading to numbness and burning in my leg), this is a WIN!!!
OK, back to your regularly scheduled program :-)
