I forgot to mention that on Monday when I was working out with Joseph he was trying to add more weights to the machine I was working on. The weight sits on top and he seems pretty pleased with himself. However, after about the 3rd pulldown the weight popped right off. It was hysterical and I laughed out loud. Joseph stopped me from working the machine because I was laughing so hard I could not move. Joseph was cracking up to. Just one of those moments where you had to be there.
Yesterday I worked out on my gazelle and used my new heart rate monitor. I was pleased that my resting heart rate went from 99 to 80 which was my first goal. I need to get my heart rate up though as it was only 115 average for 20.47 minutes and it should be between 141-155. I am going to get it up and will try again tomorrow morning on my gazelle.
I worked out this morning with Joseph and I did bring my lettle pillow and of course we did do crunches. I was good with the reverse crunched but got a little dizzy with the regular crunches. I was a little nauseaus for a few hours but it passed and I knw that it will get better the more I do.
I officially lost 14 pounds as of yesterday. That is 2 pounds per week since Sept. 8. My friend and colleague Mary, who I haven't seen for over a week, was walking behind me today as we left a function and she said Barb, how much weight have you lost, it really shows. I have to say that hearing that really made me feel good.
Here are the final practical weight loss tips:
14) Carry your favorite low calorie salad dressings and toppings with you.
15) Eat smaller portions, or share with a friend, when dining out.
16) Don't be afraid to ask for special orders when dining in a restaurant. Most places are "quick to please" in today's world.
17) Be patient - don't try to lose too much weight too soon. A few pounds per month is the medically advised quota.
18) The way your clothes "feel" and hang on your body is an excellent way to gauge your weight loss progress.
Tomorrow we will start to discuss what you want to accomplish in your fitness vision.
Have a good evening.
