One of the things i do to keep myself motivated is to read about exercise and health on the Internet. Also read about exercises and read about real people who are improving there health. I will try and post some of that information on my blog as well. Part of the purpose of my blog it to remind me when i reach my goal, to never forget what i went thru.
So far so good. Since i like exercising it coming back somewhat easily. I'm more out of shape than i realize. Last Friday i took a ten minute walk during my lunch at work. I will keep that going. Found out afterward that help wake me up and got my blood flowing. Still taking the stair at work. Doing my lunch time walk i added three flight of stairs.
Since i exercise at an elevated pace, getting in the thirty a minutes a day is a challenge. Big surprise for me, a few years ago i use to exercise two hours at the gym everyday. Some days i only did 15 minutes of exercise. Only took a few days off from exercising. Can't wait until my home gym is ready again, that will take months.
Moving things out of the basement incrementally is a good work out. I read somewhere this week on the Internet that movement of any kind is exercise and burrns calories. Today shopping trip at like four stores, some of them were superstores where i did plenty of walking and burned calories.
I used to sit in the car when my wife shopped in some stores, not anymore i there. Part my plan is to get as much movements as possible everyday. I'm now conscious if i sit too long watching tv. Every hour i will get up to do something. Take out the trash, shave my face, brush my teeth. Something.
My diet is going as planned. With the exception of ice cream every other week, I haven't had sweets since new years eve. I am a big candy, cake and cookie eater. That is definitely the longest i have done in my life. I finding out a lot of this mental too. I use to salivate just thinking of sweets and couldn't wait to eat them. Now my goal has replace that thought to the point when i see sweet food as something not even on my radar.
Since i cooking everyday now that has kept me satisfied and I'm finding new ideas and making my new diet more versatile and healthy. This has kept me from craving sweet food too. Recent weeks i've had spinach, tuna (which i eating now), oranges, barbecue ribs, salmon fish, hamburger, fritos, chips, corn, water, soda on the weekends only, pancakes, black coffee with sugar and apples.
This coming Saturday, i will weigh in. Hopefully i will have lost at least two pounds. I will post the good or the bad.
