OMG, you all were so flippin' funny last night!! Many thanks for the morning laughs
Accountabillity time:
Yesterday - 25 minutes on the TM and I actually got up to a jog!! Only 1 minute at a time for a total of 5, but without using my inhaler, I'm quite proud! Just think what I could do if I medicate first AND, I followed it with 80 crunches
Food: Cereal w/skim milk, BIG chef salad, 15 peanuts, Lean Cuisine Veg. Eggroll, 1 whole wheat waffle, loads of hot lemon water and decaf green tea.
And yet... I seem to have GAINED a pound overnight. So frustrating. But I'm going to start with measurements this Fri. and see if that's decreasing any.
Oh, and I figured out I'm currently at a 16 minute mile, so I think I'll shoot for shaving 30 seconds off each week and see how far I can get.
Have a skinnie Wednesday Peeps!
Word to the wise.....as most of you probably already know....There is one piece of advice I can give you from my strength training days.
1. Muscle weighs more than fat so all of the exercise you are doing will have a tendency to cause you to occaisionally gain weight.
(well ok a couple pieces)
2. You have to eat. Starving yourself until you have the munchies is bad. It will cause you to have the munchies and at the least favorable time usually night time. Focus on a few simple rules.
a: Eat your largest meal early in the day(Breakfast or Lunch)
b: Keep your focus on Transfat grams, Carbs, and Sodium. (These are the things that cause you to retain water and convert sugars).
c: Exercise 30 minutes at a time 3 days a week. You have to give your body time to recover.
d: Don't drink water 30 minutes before or 30 minutes after a meal. Once 30 minutes has passed drink as much as your stomach can hold (or until you get sick j/k.).
e: Try to eat 5 small meals a day and 2 snacks. (This prevents you from getting hungry...If you are concerned about left over skin from weight loss focus on snacks that are primarily protein.)
f: When you are not eating keep water available to sip on at all times.
g: Don't get down on yourself. ( repeat after me: I am beautiful, smart, attentive, valued and gosh darn it people like me !!! In all seriousness, look around at all the suport you are getting. I love this board !!!!.
Peace peeps
