Eat This not That
This is a great little book out there that tells you which things are better for you to eat and which aren't so good when you are out to eat. I had actually been looking at it for a while but saw it last night on The Biggest Loser and thought it was pretty cool. The link above is for a place to view some of the content
Well we finally broke down and bought a Wii. I think that the Wii fitness would be pretty fun but I don't want to shell out the cash for that just yet. So we have Wii sports. I have been doing it for 2 days now and I am so sore. I did Boxing for 35 minutes and Tennis for 25. I wanted to see if they actually got me in my targeted range. So I put on my Heart Rate monitor. The good news is that the Boxing did got me there. The Tennis not so much. It wasn't bad but it wasn't at an ideal range. I still have to say that I find these games really fun and the added bonus is a little bit of exercise that isn't mind numbingly boring.
With the weather turning a little bad here in Oregon, I am looking for a workout inside. I have an exercise bike which I rarely use. I want to start using it again but I just feel like I am not getting a great workout on it. I hope I can find some sort of good workout with it that will actually give me a good calorie burn. I am hoping that I can see some good results with the bike then I won't have to go out in the cold and rain (which is just another excuse looking to happen)
It seems like I have been "trying" to lose weight for ever now. I look at all these people who have successfully lost a huge amount of weight and I think to myself, that seems impossible. It just seems so far off in the distance. The most weight I have ever lost was 10 lbs. I don't know what it feels like to hit 15, 20, or even 50 lbs. It just feels so completely foreign to me. It is like wow they must have some super power or magic trick they do. I wish that I could have seen what I was doing to myself before I gained all this weight. I wish I would have been able to just stop it right then and there.
The nice sunny summer weather that I love is vanishing into a wet rainy fall. I really don't like fall/winter it is depressing all the gray clouds and rain. I seem to be lacking motivation today to do anything. Sometimes I wish there was a magic button that I could push and it would make me thin again. But there is not so I shall just keep trudging along on this weight loss journey.
I have been seeing this on TV for months and months. Usually I don't listen to those lose weight things on TV just because I don't believe most of them. I know thought that another DVD put out by them has worked the Slim in 6 on. I stumbled across it a few years ago for like 6$ at Target..( I think they miss marked it or something). Anyway I did that workout for about a month..and I lost 10 lbs. So from then on I said I would give them a chance on other stuff. So I had been wanting to try this workout and see what it was all about. I checked out Turbo Jam from my library so I could see what I thought of it. Well.........I really like it. It is really fun. The moves are a certain amount all throughout the workout. They are not difficult to learn It just takes a little bit of doing the workout and then you start to be able to do them. This is a pretty nice workout.
At this point in my weight loss journey I should be considered an expert. I have been working at this for 8 years now. But I seem to be going in the opposite direction. If the amount of weight I have gained in the last eight years was a loss instead I would be completely happy. 
I know all about the proper amounts to eat, I have read every book there is. I know what is good and bad to do. I know 3500 calories is 1 pound. I know all of this. In theory with all the stuff I do know I should be thin. The problem is putting it into action. I know that I need to watch what I am eating, I know I need to exercise, I know I need to do this and that. But I just don't do it. I get going good for a month or so...then I get bored. Either of the food I am eating(not being satisfied after meals) or the workouts I am doing. So then I start to not do either as much and then it becomes not doing either of them at all. So then another year goes by and I haven't changed a bit. I know what I need to do and this time I am going to do it!!!
