A new addiction
So far, so good. I have done Phase 1 for a week and have been doing really well. I had one cheat meal, but that’s ok because I felt satisfied enough not to cheat again. I am entering my 2nd week of ph. 1 and looking forward to reincorporating fruit! However, I have a new addiction- coffee!!! I am really starting to like coffee, even though the caffeine makes me a little jittery. I love the nutty flavor. So far I don’t even drink a cup a day, just a cup every few days. And luckily, I don’t need it in the morning to get going. But I can see this going down fast…at least it’s a calorie free treat!
I am looking for a good strength training workout, one that I can keep consistent, see results and yet up the intensity as my body adjusts to it. This is probably my area of weakness, finding a consistent routine. I also 1) don’t want to use weight machines, just free weights and 2) don’t have the money to hire a personal trainer to figure out a program for me so I need to find one for myself. I picked up a copy of Women’s Health because I love reading Men’s Health (I actually really like men’s magazines oddly enough-sometimes I think I have more testosterone than the average female because I identify with guys a lot easier than women). Anyway, the women’s version is pretty good as well, with lots of tips and workouts. I might even get a subscription for myself and one for J. for the men’s version. Then I can gank it and read that one too….
How are you all doing in this new year?

Congrat on doing so well with phase 1. I’m just finishing day 4 and I’ve been feeling rough…headachey and tired. That’s what I get for cramming in so many sweets over the holidays.
Have you considered working out with resistance bands? I bought a set that comes with a DVD. The set has attachments and everything. It cost me $30.00 at Dick’s. I haven’t started using them yet, but I’m told I can get the same exact benefit with bands as with dumbells.
Nothing wrong with a little coffee…it’s the number one source of antioxidants for Americans. I love reading those fitness/diet magazines. I haven’t read one in awhile, maybe I will pick up a men’s health…that will be something new. Congrats on starting off the New Year right!
Congrats on getting through phase 1!!
Thanks for kicking me in the ass. *hug*
CONGRATS on making it through phase 1
I love the exercise ball and resistance band. I also will just sit on the ball and bounce while on the computer on watching TV.
10 mins a day on the ball just bouncing increases bone density and decreases a woman’s risk of osteo arthritis or perosis.
It increase your core strength as well.
I swear by my exercise ball
