It kicked my butt today! I decided I was going to tackle that beast, so instead of warming up on the bike or treadmill like I usually do, I went straight for the elliptical and did 10 minutes, which was my goal! YAY! But, I was so worn out and tired, I didn't have the strength to finish the rest of the work out. I only did about 7 minutes on the bike, lifted some weights and then I was done. LESSON LEARNED: Warm up first!
I have no doubt that I will be able to ramp up to 30 minutes on that elliptical by the end of the month.
As far as Weight Watchers, here are some tips:
A BLT, even with turkey bacon, is really high in points when you add mayo. Yeesh!
Also, Mac & Cheese is a good way to go over your points.

well, it Doesn't matter what diet you're on, the hardest obstacle in dieting is control hunger pangs and cravings.
ReplyDeleteYou might like to try out a product that does exactly that: fresh-frozen Hoodia (a well known appetite depressant) in the form of small and convenient ice cubes – hence its name, the ice cube diet.
It just helps you eat less and makes your dieting easier.

Good luck to you all and for those who do try it out, please do share your experiences with me – John - icecube.john@gmail.com.
I think the hardest problem is choosing which foods to feed the hunger. In my opinion, Weight Watchers trains you to eat MORE to stimulate your metabolism. One of the contributing factors to my weight gain, is the fact that I never used to eat. 1 meal a day satisfied me. So my body went into "starvation mode" and started storing fat. I'll admit, the one meal I did have was full of fat, calories, and carbs. But Weight Watchers has proven that your body needs a certain amount of fat, calories, and carbs to be healthy.
ReplyDeleteI think above all, you just need a balance of healthy foods and exercise and your bound to lose weight.
