Yeah, I don't think I would want to walk in Canada either. BRRRRRR. I've been there alot, and in the winter, it hurts to even breath outside.

Actually, the scary part is that we DO continue to walk outside for as much as we can. I think us Cannucks have ice in our blood sometimes - though it DOES sometimes get to be too much.
What USUALLY keeps us off the sidewalks is the abundance of snow making the walking area too small OR there just being too much ice. I mean, I'm wearing boots, not skates.

I live in the south, and it never gets THAT cold, and with a jacket, you can go out all year around.

Ah, but you have other problems where it just gets simply too warm during the summer to even think about being outside without frying.
Oh yeah. I have lots - my favorite being Star Wars...er....oh wait. You PROBABLY mean exercise videos, right?
My wife has one she does with her exercise ball but I don't really But that don't seem to excite me. Maybe I just haven't found the right video. *shrugs*
On the topic of videos, I've been looking for a good meditation video but haven't found anything to my liking....

I would highly recommend joining a gym if you could fit it into your schedule. That is how my DH and I lost weight the first time around.
|
Gyms. Blah. You know what I hate about the gym? The time limit on the treadmill. Unless you're there at a time when it's not busy - and that's either REALLY late at night or REALLY early in the morning - you can only use the treadmill for 30 minutes. I'm looking to put in at least an hour. Walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk....and that's only until I can run.
I do have a small weight set at home that I have been known to use, but we're in the middle of basement renos at the moment (where I work out) so there's really no place for me to do that.
On the plus side, once we are done the renos and have the space, my wife and I want to get a treadmill or eliptical for ourselves.
But that won't be for a few months (which probably means years) yet. Gotta make plans on getting these buns moving
today.

What type of eating plan do you have?
|
Eating plan....er....I plan to eat every day?
Seriously, I don't really have an actual plan picked out other than counting calories. I was going to find one of those calculators out there on the internet and see how many calories I need to maintain my current weight and then see how many I need at my target weight and come up with some kind of gradual decrerease in caloric intake.
I tried the Atkins Diet - which allowed me to shed almost 25 lbs before I feel off the bandwagon while on vacation. (Cruising and Dieting does NOT work no matter WHAT people day.
) When I tried to get back on Atkins when I got back, I just couldn't get through the first phase again. So, I've decided that counting calories & watching white sugar and white flower intake is probably the best, new, plan.
Of course, I'm open to suggestions if people have found something that really works for them. WW, however, has NEVER appealed to me. Don't know why.

Also, have you tried fitday. Its great for counting cal.

I have used fitday on a couple of my recent, failed attempts.
I'll probably use it again if I end up doing the calorie counting thing...
