Another beautiful day!

Yesterday, I spent all day outside planting my new flowers and doing yard work.  Very good for the arm and leg muscles.  Lots of water all day. For breakfast I had Special K w/ff milk.  No lunch.  For dinner I had a salad with chicken and grape tomatoes on it, very little dressing.  And that was it for the day.  Today, I started taking Mega T green tea dietary supplements.  A friend of mine lost 20 lbs in one month on them, without changing her diet or exercise habits much.  I am going to be taking them IN ADDITION to changing my daily exercise habits, so we'll see what will happen.  I bought hand weights yesterday and worked out my biceps and triceps quite a bit.  I did 100 (on each side) leg lifts... thigh muscles were screaming!  Of course, I had to do them 25 at a time, with about a minute pause in between the 4 sets.  Also did 25 (core very weak still so unable to do more than that) front leg lifts, that works out the lower abdomen and the core muscles.  At the end of the month, when I have the money, I will be buying an exercise ball (replacing my office chair with that for extra workout, even while I sit), Perfect Sit-up Machine (saw that at Walmart), an elliptical machine, Advocare 24-day program, and the Zumba Body Transformation series.  I am serious about getting this weight off of me.  Oh yeah, and a bike to ride outside.  Also, those tennis shoes that tone while you walk.  Find out that I have lost 10 lbs. since leaving my ex, so that would be since the 2nd week of January... about a month, or a little over a month.  Feeling extremely motivated.  To top of the day yesterday, I got a phone call from a very dear friend, whom I miss very much.  Life is good.......

  1. I'd wait on the Perfect Sit-up machine. I think you will find that the Zumba target Zone DVD's are more than you'll need to target your core & a TON more fun than getting on the ground & possibly messing up your neck back. Glad to hear things are going so well for you. I'll be catching up soon on my blog I hope. Things got wild & woolly this weekend with 17" of snow dumped onto my weekend & ruining my catchup on housework day off.
