Morning lades,
Wow, it took every ounce of will and energy to make myself get out of bed this morning. I ended up with a pretty quiet day yesterday because I didn't feel very rambunctious. Weather changes and sinus problems. Bah!
I read an interesting take on exercise after 40 last night. It was in
Prevention magazine. I'll have to go find that and see if I can post the highlights. Basically it was cardio exercise 7 days a week. MWF are days of 30 minutes of intense cardio (warm up, start building intensity and 12 minutes at top intensity, cool down), TTHS are 20 minutes of intense interval work and Sunday is a 60 minute endurance building workout. On the 20 minute days, you do strength training of 20 minutes. I'm not finding it online but I did save the article. It was about boosting fat burning.
This week, I'm trying to get DH steered back into South Beach mode of cooking. We both need it, not just for weight, but for his diabetes and both of our cholesterols. Need a menu plan again!
The other thing I have got to do better at this week is getting up and moving around. With this different position, I sit too much. I'm not up and about like I used to be.
Heather - I'm with you. My food plan isn't working so its time to revisit it AGAIN. We can do this! We just have to hang tight and keep working at it. I thought DeNiro and Pacino did a pretty good job together. That was a good movie.
Angela - I so understand the feeling of not achieving the success on the scale. Thanks for sharing your rambling. It helps to see others having similar issues. How's the instructional (?) project going?
Debi - Good job for keeping the kiddies moving too! When is the wedding? That has to be coming up pretty soon! I don't think I've seen the Fresh Cuisine in our stores here in MO. However, since I don't go to the store that much, that may not mean much! We're having low-fat chicken enchiladas tonight. YUM-O!
BarbPA - Okay, you slipped down under 250 on your last WI and you didn't announce that???!!!
for you! You deserve the happy dance!
How was the steak house? As the scale is going down, are you cutting back on calories?
Lilion - How was your weekend and the event? Catch up on sleep? Wasn't it nice to have warmer weather this weekend; even though the sun was scarce. However, since this is MO and its still February, we're back into winter weather tomorrow.
Carol - Did you recover and get back at it? You've got one week until vacation!
I didn't realize you were having to make those kinds of work decisions. I had to participate in that a couple of years ago and it was awful. I forget what your work is.
I better get this posted.
to all!
