my return

July 29, 2013

I've been struggling to exercise again. After not working out for three weeks, I started back today. Did a short eight minutes workout of squats, running in place and jumping jacks. Will workout tomorrow too. I've been eating both good and bad. The good apples, plums, pecans, spinach, lean meat and water. The bad cookies and muffins. Sorry for the long time since I've blogged. I will pick that up too. Next time take care and God Bless.

Up Four Pounds

July 20, 2013

Didn't exercise for two weeks and ate like a pig. Frustrated with working out and gaining weight or little weight loss. Just enjoyed food and took it easy. I ate cookies, cheesecake, ice cream, and stuff all day long. Morning, noon and night ate what I wanted and didn't exercise at all.

Got on the scale this morning and had gained four pounds. My weight is back up to 281 pounds. My new plan is to begin to exercise today and workout everyday. Cutting back on the desserts, watching what I eat at night, eating plenty of fruit and drinking lots of water.

That's were I am at right now. Until next time take care and God bless.

going the wrong way

July 12, 2013

I haven't been losing weight in a while. Every since my back went out and I stop working out everyday, I've been gaining weight. Lately I've added four pounds and my weight is back up to 277 pounds. Took a week off to re think and re charge.

Disappointed and frustrated not having the success I was having. Will start back working out everyday. Have added more fruit in my diet and drink more water. First thing every morning drink two big cups of water. Added fiber bar for lunch.

Will write more later. Take care and God Bless.

Dancing is the key to life

July 3rd, 2013

Covered in sweat all over from dancing to soul/funk music by Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, and James Brown.  I love old school songs, they get me up and moving like no other music. Part of the reason is this is what I was raised on. I listen to other music, but keep coming back to these classics. Today I danced for two hours straight with a few breaks.

Dancing is a great exercise and good for the body. Dancers have great shapes because it is fun and works the entire body. It is so much fun one can dance for hours and burn tons of calories. According to the calorie burning calculator website I burned almost 1, 400 calories tonight. That is like 700 calories a hour.

Tomorrow I will take off and rest and let my body recover and heal from tonight's workout. I will try and take some naps too, to give my body maximum time to repair and rebuild. Resting is a big part of  a exercise program because that when the body does a lot of work and build the strength in your muscles.

My dinner tonight was Salmon Fish that I baked with hush puppies. For lunch, I had two tangerines, energy bars, chips, and water. Tomorrow to celebrate the 4th of July, I will eat hot dogs, baked beans and chips. On Friday I will have fish, a ham and cheese sandwich, or tuna fish sandwiches.

This Saturday I will see my progress up to this point when I get on the scale. Until next time take care and God Bless.
