Weight Intervention Program - PREVENT

So I'm going to attempt to start back writing my thoughts. Yesterday was Day 1 of a weight intervention program I signed up for thru the job called Prevent. Before the 16-weeks started, they sent me a digital scale which will send my weight in daily thru wifi connection. So yesterday I weighed in at 213.8 and I took my measurements. Just the mere fact that I will need to step on the scale every morning may just be the thing I need to act right the day before...and not just because I'm stepping on the scale because I was doing that every day anyway....but now it's being sent into the world wide atmosphere... that little ticker that shows how close I am to my goals will bobble up and down if my weight goes up and down. I like that added motivation. Game On. Despite that fact, my weekend activities was riddled with food I didn't need. So this morning I was up one pound....(which I plan to drop right on back off by tomorrow..lol) I expect to continue to follow low carb eating but to not have a nibble here and there of non-compliant items. We shall see.

21 Day Fix - Overview Week 2

Ok my confession first; I didn’t work out much last week…..three days. I let life give me excuses and I used ‘em. I am, however, still eating according to plan for the most part and still dropping pounds and inches. Although this is a 3-week program, I really don’t plan to stop…. since the goal is to adapt to the habits as my normal way of eating I will simply continue. I still give kudos to the program because I was at a major plateau. Although this is simply a program of portion control and timely eating… it’s presented in a way that makes it understandable in a market that is just overwhelmed with "get-skinny-fast" schemes. Tools are provided that helps you to see visually the perfect balance of nutrients to fuel and nourish your body. And you can’t beat a 30 minute but still effective workout. I’ve found that I can even “stray” and still see a drop on the scale. Friday night, I went out to eat my all-time favorite meal of Mexican fare. I almost always order a large...

Knee Up...

Sometimes I don't know if pain/discomfort I'm experiencing is simply weight related or if it's something I really should get checked. I've noticed my knee is constantly irritated. Only my left knee. At Zumba last night I could barely lean to the left while squat/plie. I kinda loosens up toward the end of the hour of aerobic activity but still hurts. Some kicks and such in MMA fitness really twist my knee up..... I was thinking that maybe because I'm not getting up on my toes more that the shoe-to-carpet connection is jarring on my knee but I'm just not sure. Every morning when I jump out of bed I'm limping pretty noticeably and this morning was no different. As the old folks say "Arthur was acting up" ...that is a possibility (arthritis) since it was very irritated during this morning's rainy weather. I guess I will mention it when I go for my regular checkup in a month but for now I'll just keep working it out. ugh.....Sunshyne Out.! (phot...

Taming Da Weekend Beast

OK...I'm convinced....there's somebody else inside me on the weekend....and SHE'S A BEAST! She likes to socialize and party and eat all the wrong shit and drink alcohol like there's no tomorrow. It's amazing to me now how disciplined I can be thru the workweek....eating portioned meals and at regular intervals. That never would have been me a year ago. I could consider that some growth in the right direction. But oh lawd I gotta work on me on the weekends. Well I obviously know that and subconsciously I must be trynna do better...because I actually attempted to cook over the weekend. When I went to O'Charley's this Saturday, I only ate one of those delicious roll and only ate half of my cajun chicken pasta. lol. And limited my alcoholic beverages to 3 long island iced teas.......Yep I'll count that as a weekend victory.  Go Me... Sunshyne Out.
