\"\"<\/a>We have another diary entry from our HCL reader, who is taking the NYLean25 April Challenge in Harlem<\/a>. She has good news to report!<\/div>\n
Dear HarlemGal,<\/em><\/div>\n
Week one on the NYLean25 is over and I lost three lbs!\u00a0 I am ecstatic!\u00a0 Every Friday we get weighed in and measured at the Kennedy Community Center on 135th St in Harlem. We were at Twirl Lounge, but the class got to big so we moved to the Kennedy Community Center.<\/em><\/div>\n

\n<\/em><\/div>\n
It’s very hard for me to lose any weight, so I had to do a double take at that scale.\u00a0 I also lost two inches in my waist.\u00a0 I thought that must have been a mistake, so I tried on a pair of jeans yesterday and noticed a difference.\u00a0 I know week two is going to be a bigger challenge.\u00a0\u00a0 Isn’t that the infamous week on \u00a0the NBC television program called The Biggest Loser when everyone gains weight or stays the same?<\/em><\/div>\n

\n<\/em><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>I decided to hit up NYLean’s website<\/a> for some more support.\u00a0 The at-home workout plans are very easy to read with videos embedded in the descriptions.\u00a0 The cool thing is one can actually submit a workout log to your trainer.\u00a0 You can do the same with a food log.\u00a0 I’ll be submitting that to my trainer Robert this week.\u00a0 Let’s see what he says!\u00a0 The website also has articles on fitness, recipes and a calorie counter.<\/em><\/div>\n

\n<\/em><\/div>\n
By the way, I used the tip below today when I got a serious craving for some chocolate.\u00a0I even went a step further and did a teeth whitening session that involves having a tray in your mouth for 40 minutes.\u00a0 You can’t eat with that on!<\/em><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Tip #2:\u00a0 Brush your teeth or eat a mint.\u00a0 If you get hungry and feel you’re going to cheat, drink a big glass of cold water and then brush your teeth.\u00a0 If you aren’t in a position to brush your teeth when the craving come on, then pop a sugar-free mint or piece o mint-flavored sugar-free gum.<\/em><\/div>\n

\n<\/em><\/div>\n
While doing the tip #2, think this thought: “There is no food that tastes as good as being lean feels!”<\/em><\/div>\n

\n<\/em><\/div>\n
Until next time…<\/em><\/div>\n

Best,<\/em>
