Yes, you will sweat a lot in the beginning, when you notice you are not sweating that usually means you should up your reps or time or resistance. At least that is what my trainer told me (but he is mean and cruel and makes me really work) I think you are doing a great job, keep up the good work. Also when i was doing weight watchers they said, you can keep your calories lower for the week and save some, if you know there is a big weekend coming up. For example if you have a 1500 calorie diet then use 1300 daily and that will leave you an extra 1400 calories at the end of the week and you can still lose weight. negative 200 calories a day X 7 days. I don't know, when I was able to diet, weight watchers really worked for me but that is more of a point system and really helps you keep track of exactly what you are eating.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601682130719447511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127368375448126915.post-7695605687114389642009-01-16T20:44:00.000-08:002009-01-16T20:44:00.000-08:00So, while you are at the hockey game, walk all the...So, while you are at the hockey game, walk all the way down the stairs to the ice and then back up again. Do this before the game starts and between the two periods. Then you won't feel so guilty if you let yourself eat a few items that you wouldn't allow yourself to eat. And I guarantee that on the way up the stairs, you'll feel the muscle burn that comes with increasing your metabolism over time!!galynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05607817525105675915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127368375448126915.post-88640426414028373892009-01-16T11:55:00.000-08:002009-01-16T11:55:00.000-08:00FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!Regarding this week-end.Sometim...FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!<BR/>Regarding this week-end.<BR/>Sometimes self denial can lead to over indulgence, a condition that is very easily justified. Which in turn can bring on the "what's the use syndrome". It might not hurt to allow yourself a trival reward, maybe even predetermined by you. Something good to savor but not necessarily sinful - like a chocolate covered strawberry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6127368375448126915.post-57679738408021406892009-01-16T04:17:00.000-08:002009-01-16T04:17:00.000-08:00You know, there are good times and there are hard ...You know, there are good times and there are hard times. And times don't always go as planned. Eating out is the worst!! Lunch will go OK. The evening is the tough call. More food. Less reserves. Fewer choices. First: Don't sit by the food. Sit down in front and watch the game. If you need something to eat - ask sonmeone else you trust to go get it for you. Someone you know who won't load you up with calories. Ask someone else to get you water so you can fill up and then you don't have to face the demons by the food. Involve someone else in your choices who will help you. And if all else fails, say out loud to someone else "I think I'm going to get a ......" whatever it is that is tempting you. Maybe that will stop you in your tracks when you verbalize it to someone else and say it out loud. Good Luck. You'll be ok. It's when you are NOT prepeared that things go wrong. And remember if you feel you are too deprived that is when things will wrong. A bowl of pop corn, and those are very small bowls, is OK. We have a tendancy to punish ourselves with food when we are mad at ourselves and reward ourselves with food when we are proud of ourselves. Find the middle road.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
