Week two of being under 300 lbs. Another week and another few pounds lost. This time I lost 3.4 lbs, much less than the 10+ lbs from last week, but it’s right around where I want to be on a weekly basis. I think at this point I can consistently lose 2 to 3 lbs a week with no sweat. Well, I need to sweat but you know what I mean.
From diet Blog Share: At my age (72) you become very set in your ways, but I changed my life style. I feel better than I have for ages and have the annual physical numbers to prove it.
About a year ago my wife and I decided to embrace wellness and started to live by the philosophy of diet + exercise + Supplements = Wellness. Our diet is low/nonfat, balanced and we exercise portion control. We eat most everything, but not a lot of it. Secondly we exercise 4 to 5 times a week which includes treadmill, weight lifting and even “hot” Yoga.
Weight loss through a good Treadmill workout program has worked for many people – and that can work for you too.
Treadmills can be used by virtually any age group, and by people of any level of activity. Treadmills can help you lose weight and maintain weight loss.
It really is a numbers game. The more time you spend doing cardiovascular exercises the more calories you will burn and lose more weight. And if you're looking for fitness equipment that will have maximum burn, then a tape must be in the top of the list.
A lot of people believe you can sweat your extra pounds away. They hop onto the elliptical for fifteen minutes dressed in clothes more appropriate for a run outside in Alaska in the middle of January. The belief is that the amount of sweat excreted correlates to the amount of weight shed. This statement is not completely false. According to Stew Smith, a former Navy SEAL and guest author for Maxim Fitness, it is possible to sweat away extra pounds. However, this weight is all water weight. The second you drink something after your workout, the weight is back on. This type of weight loss is a quick fix and not healthy.
Reflecting on the Week
Another week and another positive weight loss experience. AWESOME! This time I lost 3.6 lbs. That’s perfectly in line with my monthly goal of 15 to 20 lbs. So far this month I have lost a little over 12 lbs. This past week was a weird one. Why? Well, because I felt as if I wasn’t working out enough or eating healthy enough. Although, I was! That’s what’s so weird about it. I was eating the right things, while still not restricting myself to the extreme. I was still working out and getting my sweat on, but it all felt like it wasn’t enough. I am glad to see that it WAS enough. I honestly wasn’t expecting any weight loss this week, so 3.6 lbs is a great number. Andp it’s a realistic one. The anticipation of hoping on my EatSmart digital bathroom scale was killing me. I am so glad it went well.
