For the past week, I have been off from work. When you're trying to lose a weight, it's a lot easier when you have your regular routine. I like to plan out my meals and the times I am going to eat, but being away from home for many hours means that I don't have my regular sources of meals handy.
Eating wise, I have done a good job for the most part. My girlfriend, Benita, has been a big help also. The meals that we have had together have been nutritious and my portion sizes have been good. Through Diet to Go, I am starting to get a better grasp on the correct portion sizes for myself.
For me, it's about learning to eat until your satisfied not when your stomach is full. It's also about learning to not to medicate a bad day with a high calorie junk food meal.
I went to my local gym, Fitness4Less, a couple of times to get the kinks out and get my body ready for the real workouts that will be coming up. Even though I have lapses in my workout consistency, I am part of the small percentage of people who actully enjoy working out at a gym.
I have been going to the gym, off and on, for about 25 years. The trick is to go light on the first few workouts, so that you can move your arms and legs without excruciating pain the following days. The worst part is that you feel like a weakling compared to your past workouts.
I weighed myself last Thursday (9/16/10) and I have lost 2 more lbs. Total weight loss 28 lbs (465).
I will be more consistent in writing every few days. Until next time.
