The wt burn-off idea is terrific if it helps us get serious about shedding those extra lbs. Again we're all about helping folks find a way to lower their risk factors - excess weight being a big (no pun intended) one. But if you're like me, you can use a little help sometimes. That's why I called the people at Healthy Lifestyles Healthy Weight® Program. Many of the Lumenos clients have signed up for this program. If you haven't got it, you may want to talk to your HR dept about putting it in place. That's not a sales pitch and you may want to hold off on talking to them until you hear the rest of what I have to say.
I'm going to give it a try and chronicle my progress (I hope) here. Feel free to follow along over the next few months. I made the first call this afternoon. The woman I talked to was very nice and asked some basic questions - age, height and of course weight. Guess I qualified for the program because she put me right on the schedule. We'll have our first wt loss phone call (this is all done over the phone) in 2 weeks after I review the materials she is sending.
My goal is to drop 15lbs. I'll combine exercise and diet (not sure what that means, they'll give me some help) and target for 1 lb a week over the next few months. Sounds like a reasonable plan but as usual the devil's in the details/execution.
Drop into this blog and follow my progress. And feel free to ask me how things are going. Should be interesting!
