fighting platueas
First days of dieting and excercising is really cool, you see the results fast, but after some time even with strictly following diet, the weight might not change. It was happening for me afew weeks ago, in that time I was doing cardio twice a week and flexibility one time and strength two times a week. then I realized if I wanna loose weight, I need to increase cardio, I increased cardio 3 times a week(monday and friday aerobic step class for 45min,and wednesdays runnig for 45min) again I felt I am not getting results, partially because I got bored with the class and I didn't challenge myself. I read in one blog that I don't remember her name, but she had lost 70lbs . her exercise plan was 70mins every day cardio, it was really huge for me, but I got some idea and increase my cardio to half an hour every day and strength half an hour every tuesdays and thursdays. I see that it is showing some results. I know it can not be my lifestyle, but I was exercising before 3 times a week at least (but not challenging) and I was thinking if I don't challenge myself I am not going to see the results and then like last unsuccessful attempts I am going to be disappointed and give up.So the wohle thing, I want to remind you and myself is your exercise should always be challenging to succeed.In addition to patience ,we need strength to challenge ourself to loose this weight.
OHHHHHHH how easy we got these extera weight, I even don't remeber when I steped up to 140lbs.
