It's elliptical machine, at least two aerobic classes each week, bench, squats, and kettlebells. <br /><br />It's nice to see everything get firmer of course, but I wish my actual weight was going down a little more. Your feet don't care so much whether you're in great shape, they just want you LIGHTER.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357124.post-19864206171897821142013-05-11T14:05:34.708-06:002013-05-11T14:05:34.708-06:00Shit, man, counting.

Don't even get me started on post dinner cocktail parties. That's all before I start counting food.<br /><br />It's a sad place for me, so I just run to absolve my guilt.<br /><br />Just kidding, I crank out 28-3600 cal per day with a desk job and keep a consistent weight. I built stand up desks every where I work, I turned off my tv, walk up stairs, and that very small increase in activity at home/work has helped quite a bit. I'm not the kind of person that could run ever, so I made it a point to move just a fraction more through out the day.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357124.post-84992308796282548632013-05-11T10:22:58.372-06:002013-05-11T10:22:58.372-06:00If I can do it Betsy, so can you!

I've gone up and down millions of times, having struggled with weight since I was a teenager. The key for me was not just counting calories but figuring out what food types work best for me. For me, more protein and less simple carbs just feel better for my body. Also being active is not only good for me physically, but I'm much much happier mentally. I'll go walk with you any time!Liznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357124.post-38998762929491195462013-05-11T10:09:20.822-06:002013-05-11T10:09:20.822-06:00I've actually been working on this for the pas...I've actually been working on this for the past few months. I think a large portion of the weight gain was the day job. Eight hours a day sitting in a cubicle will take a toll on the width of your ass.<br /><br />Dieting alone didn't work for me, and in looking into it further, I think I was actually under calories. I was really watching, my breakfast/lunch/and snacks came in under 500 calories. And dinner was reasonable. Didn't lose a thing.<br /><br />Now, I've added just 15 - 20 minutes of working out (just stuff you can do at home, light weights and crunches, that sort of thing). Instead of keeping such a rigid hold on my eating, I just try to make sure it's somewhat healthy. I tend to like salads and fruit anyway.<br /><br />I've lost 8 pounds so far. I don't think it's the diet as much as it's the addition of some exercise and the change in my work routine. I work out of my brother's office, but there's running around mixed in there... picking up the kids in the afternoon and getting back to the computer later at night...

I completely avoid fast food except in emergencies. That's why I've managed to keep the weight off. I'm around 218, but could easily be 250 if I let it go. My bloodwork is pretty good. <br /><br />As far as working out, there's something to be said when you lift a box and are sore the next day :) It's probably a good idea to have some muscle tone too. <br /><br />Simple is best for me. Treadmill for 20 minutes or yoga. <br /><br />I see the difference in lifestyle choices when I look at my grandparents. Grandpa walks daily and eats well (has his whole life). 84 years old and dude trucks around perfectly fine. Grandma, life in the sun and no exercise. Two broken hips and can hardly get around.<br /><br />It is something to think about, especially as a writer. We all want to write as long as we can :) Kenny Sowardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986367835968630915noreply@blogger.com
