Weight Loss - Week 6

Ok, so I still suck at this. I've been home from vacation long enough to have gotten back into my routine.

Yet, still I am struggling. I only missed two days on my walk this week which is a huge improvement and I even walked the mall one morning so I went REALLY fast on those super smooth waxed floors with no obstacles.

There was only minor improvement overall. I'm happy it's in the right direction although it could have been a bit more. I mean, come on! Half a pound!? That's hardly fair considering how much better I did with my food intake.

Weight: 190
Chest: 40
Waist: 34
Hips: 44

So, as summer starts to wind down and cooler winds arrive, I'm looking for a new winter activity that can keep my heart rate up and won't require me to freeze my butt off during a Chicago winter. I'm considering swimming even though my strokes are a little unpolished. Any thoughts, suggestions? Do you have a favorite activity/class that could be a good alternative to walking?
