Weight Update

I lost 4 pounds last week. I started using DietPower.com. Basic gist of it, is that you keep a daily log of what you eat & drink, and how much exercising you do. You weigh yourself every morning, and when you log in for the 1st time each day, it asks for your weight. When you set it up, it asks for your starting weight, what your goal weight is, and when you want to reach your goal. It then makes a graph showing your daily progress on 1 line, and your projected progress on another line. I have definately become more cognizant of just how much I am eating every day, and am making an effort to just eat whatever a portion is (IE-3/4 cup cereal w/ 1/2 cup milk). It's interesting exactly what qualifies as exercise. Driving, reading while sitting, desk work, walking around the office, dressing/undressing, grooming (hair, makeup, brush teeth).....just me living my life...I burn an average of 1,000 calories a day. Unfortunately, I take in an average of 2,000.....so it's not exactly balancing out. And I joined Curves for Women today. It's less than a mile from my house, right on the way home. Their hours are kind of wacky, they're open M-F, 8:00AM - 8:00PM, with 2 hours off for lunch, and Saturdays 8:00AM-11:00AM. SO.....unless I can haul myself out of bed & be functioning before 10:30 AM on Saturdays, all my workouts will be in the evenings, on my way home from work. They recommend going 3 times a week, and their circuit training takes 1/2 hour. I don't forsee any immediate problems with committing to 3 times a week. Right now, the only time I can't (won't) go would be Wednesday evenings, and the occassional Friday evening.
