So… I’m cutting inches!
Yay! Woot! So far I’ve lost 2 inches on my hips, 2
inches on my waist, and 1 inch on my chest!
As far as I can tell, I’ve lost only fat, which is ideal. My clothes fit better. I have more
energy. My hubby has already lost 13lbs
and about 5 inches, too!
How am I doing this, you ask? ViSalus.
I have a shake for breakfast and lunch, and I eat healthy snacks in
between. I then have a healthy dinner. I’m pretty much doing the Paleo/Primal diet
and the ViSalus shakes. I walk at lunch
every day to get that cardio going, but so far that’s it. I’m going to start weight training this week
to build up some more lean muscle.
Also, today is Megan’s last day in public school. We’ll give her some time to “de-school” and
then jump right in with our homeschooling plans. While we’ve added something pretty big to our
plates, we’ve also scraped off the public schools and all that entails. We got a lot of skepticism from traditional
school folks, her 1st Grade Teacher included, but I think overall we’re
doing the right thing for her. Public
schools are a 1-size-fits-all when it comes to teaching methods. If your child doesn’t fit that “size”, your
child falls through the cracks. Megan is
a kinesthetic learner, which means she learns best with hands-on interaction. Most schools barely touch this learning
style. As we homeschool, we can actually
cater to this. I want to use her
strengths to help her learn. So, I think
we’re doing good things here. If you
have any experience teaching kinesthetic learners, I would love to hear
it!
So that’s it for now.
From now on, I’ll try to chronicle the weight loss and homeschooling in
separate posts for more simplicity.
