Stacer,... day aint over yet...
Do some stuff around the house for exercise tonight....
Work out hard for about 15 minutes and try to break a sweat.
updates will be Daily I hope...
Today I speed walked 2 miles (to hot to run) and threw all the soda out of my fridge.
From a health standpoint you should just chuck it anyway, diet is loaded with sodium (bad if your losing weight ironically) and regular is full of sugar. If you absolutely need a soda there is only 1 brand in the states you can drink... Diet rite, no sodium, no sugar, and it tastes ok.
Next go the carrots, and fruit...
Fruit I hear you say? Your gonna throw out fruit...?
Yes
Fruit is high in simple sugar, and while it provides a lot of energy quickly it also is easily absorbed and transformed into fat...
Better to stick with harder to digest veggies for a week or two until my metabolism kicks in..
There are two ways to lose weight, and only one of them is healthy.
1. Cut down your intake of food to about 1600-1800 calories a day.
2. Cut down the intake of certain foods, while exercising aerobically.
Do some sort of exercise that gets your heart pumping, swim (its still summer) Bike, Jog, Speed Walk, Tai-bo ... whatever.
Alternating between 1 or 2 can make it a little less monotonous and exercising with a partner can make it a little more fun.
Avoid snacking on heavy carb items (bread, Chips, cookies, crackers etc) but dont spend a fortune on low carb low sugar substitutes.
Good alternatives to high carb snacks are nuts, fibrous vegetables (like Celery)
more to come.
