Switching Things Up
Good morning!
I thought I'd add a little spice to my regular old boring workout routines. I walk/jog 5-6 days per week anywhere between 40-90 minutes each morning, plus a 45-minute T-Tapp DVD 2-3 times per week for strength training. Since T-Tapp does not require any equipment, I thought I'd start throwing in some 15-minute weight sessions at lunchtime here at work.
SO... I sifted through my Fitness magazines and came up with several 15-20 minute sessions easily doable in my office.
SO... today I brought my exercise mat and an exercise band to work. From the September 2007 issue, I'm going to use the Express Fitness workout to "Tone Your Jiggle Zones." Tomorrow I'll try something else. Should be interesting!
This morning I did a lot of jogging throughout my powerwalk. I also threw in some sidestepping and did my usual walk-up-a-hill-backwards to blast off some extra calories. Needless to say I was pooped after the 85-minute ordeal (LOL - actually it was quite refreshing).
I'm always hungry. Man, do I hate that. Yesterday I had the usual big breakfast - whole grain toast with sugarfree peanutbutter, oatmeal with bran buds and flax seeds, and orange juice. By 9:30 I was starving, but had no fruit on hand, so I ate a small can of tuna. By 11:05 I was DYING, so had a huge bowl of homemade veggie soup, followed by another small can of tuna. Still hungry, I had about a cup of baby carrots. By 2:00 my tummy was going nuts, so I tamed it with a handful of almonds. Half an hour later I was hungry again. Thank goodness we no longer have a vending machine here - I think I just might have attacked it! SO.... today I brought the rest of my bottle of Hoodia to work. I am not a fan of appetite suppressants, but if this continues I'm going to have to have one or two before lunch.
I haven't weighed myself since Saturday. If I can restrain myself, I'll weigh in only on Friday. Wish me luck!!!
Have a great day, everyone!
