my husband and I have been wanting to loose weight. Have even contemplated joining a gym.
But then news came today from my husband's doctor. No Carb diet.
Well this is going to be interesting. So now I have to find a way to incorporate with a bunch of picky kids who love their carbs.
I looked online and found...duh duh dun... the adkins diet. It looks interesting...sort of.
SO. We not only have a diet to consider but we also have passover coming up. Which we have never been able to do. Bread always made it's way into our diet before the week ended.
I managed to convince my husband to try the Adkins for the week of passover, since there is no bread in the diet.
We shall see how this is going to work.
I've personally never understood cutting out carbs. I can see cutting way back on them, which is really what most people actually need to do, as well as eating better carbs, but to entirely cut them out I don't understand as they are a good source of energy. Sorta like how some people cut out fruit because of the sugar, even though fruit is good for you and the body does need some sugar. It's all in moderation and learning the difference between a serving and a helping, and sticking with the serving.
I'm considering joining a gym that just opened up that cost only 10 dollars a month and it is all low impact, which is what I need. As far as my body is going, I am able to now see some muscle outline around my stomach peeking out from behind the fat. My size 20 and 18 fat jeans are in a bag I'm getting ready to take to Goodwill, and I fit into a size 12 denim skirt. And although my knee are still stiff, sore, and aching, the pain hasn't been as agonizing this winter.
Slight hold up in fitness routine. Ugh. Muscle strain in left leg. I'm assuming from either over use from all the squats and jumps maybe, or perhaps a combination of that with the fact that I had a bad fall a few days back at my parents house that also kind of hurt the back of my left calf. Either way, I have what appears to be a hamstring strain leading down behind my knee with pain radiating down behind my calf as well. So, I've decided to take the rest of this week off to rest up my leg, especially considering how leg-heavy my exercise routine is, and try to start over again on week 3 next Monday.
Er...weight lifting is anaerobic exercise, designed to create muscle. As such, it is likely to lead to weight gain, on its own.
Weight loss comes from regular moderate intensity aerobic exercise. At least 30 minutes 4-5 times a week. One should have a slightly raised heart rate during the exercise.
Jump roping is a great work out, is awesome aerobics, low impact, and burns a good amount of calories.My plan is: jump rope, jog 30-45 min's and do weights. I have underarm fat I want to get rid of, and I thought jumping rope and weights would help out but I'm not an expert or anything. I have a weight set (like what you see at the gym) already to go (it's my fathers, he's had it for yrs).
