Day 6 on the HMR program

I would have written a lot sooner, but my laptop had a breakdown Friday and I just got it back today! It's a very fast working program and I've wanted to write about the success I'm having.

Friday was the first day to use the program and I was so hopeful all day. For the first time in ages I had hope and was crazy happy. "I CAN DO THIS."

Well it's the sixth day and I've lost 5 pounds. Yep, 5 pounds. I've followed the program to the T--3 shakes, 2 entrees, 2 vitamins, 2 quarts of water, and 2 cups of coffee (the coffee is my limit.) No other food.

The program stipulates that you burn 2000 calories through physical activity a week. Which is about a 285 calorie minumum  a day. I have been doing pretty good with that--averaging about 300+ a day. Saturday I took a "BodyFlow" class at the gym--mixture of Yoga and Pilates--great work out. Anyone who thinks Yoga is easy has never taken a class!  I've been walking since the weather is wonderful. I also rode my stationery bike for 30 minutes yesterday. Today I'm going to the gym to swim. (ugh a swimming suit).

  2. Great to hear you're doing so well and really off to a strong start. We run an HMR program in upstate new york and its great hear others doing so well. Just remember "more is better" and keep up the good work!
