what's the biggest reason or excuse you make for why you don't start an exercise regimen? i KNOW my weight regain has alot to do w/ NOT moving. i've spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON THE INTERNET or watching tv.
it was back in June 2011, i hatched the plan to run a marathon vs a half marathon when i turned 60. dang if i didn't waste a whole year of not losing weight..
plus i continue to have problems w/ my feet so i am doubtful on running a marathon but i don't have to decide NOW
NOW i need to concentrate on dropping pounds and starting up an exercise program. for the last 3 wks i've been concentrating on planting flowers to bloom for my son's wedding two weeks from today. i've also been pulling weeds, deadheading lavender so it can rebloom for wedding decorations... all of these activities have clearly SCREAMED at me how having this HUGE BELLY interfers with bending over..
i now want to start back to a workout routine using the garage gym... sure hope ds moved his books that were stacked on recumbent bike.
course now i must deal with when to work out...
i hate to use the cool mornings for an aerobic bike ride as it is no fun to garden during hot part of day...but then it is no fun to work out in a hot garage. this is a quandary i've never solved. usually i do one or the other if i'm being active.
keep in mind i have no a/c but my weather is nothing like the triple digit heat wave most of the country experienced.
my body has a natural rhythm of being more active in the a.m. so i'd like to channel that energy to burning calories with yard activities and then some how find the resolve to go into the garage mid-morning to ride the bike.
for the next 2 wks going into the wedding, i would soooo like to ride the bike mid-morning and again in the late afternoon. i just need to turn the switch on in my brain and MAKE IT HAPPEN....
the Biggest Losers work out about 5 hrs a day for their impressive weekly weight losses... i surely have wasted 5 hrs a day many a day on internet and tv watching
i am basically sedentary so i need the bike workouts to up the lbs lost. i know i also need to start up the weight lifting again...muscle burns more calories than fat.
i'm not gonna drive myself nuts over getting multiple workouts in daily
BUT I MUST KEEP ACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
if i want to read a book or be on the internet playing during the day, there really is NO reason i can not be pedaling the bike at the same time....
off to start moving for the day, a late start, i like to get outside at 5:30 but i had the last of the cauliflower pizza 'crusts' baking. they look soooo yummy. i miss bread the most so hoping these pizzas fill that void
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND MOVE YOUR BODY
moving usually gives one more energy, not less...so i challenge you to join me in starting an exercise regimen for these last 2 weeks of JULY. By moving our bodies, we can move the scale downwards and weigh less
