OMG ALMOST AT MY FIRST 10 LB LOSS

May 15, 2013
Well I weighed in today and was amazed that I had lost 2.5 lbs more making my total now at 9 lbs.  I made an appointment with Ken to get measured on Monday morning. I did my usual work out this morning 60 minutes. I am very proud of myself for not getting to discouraged with the 1/2 lb loss and sticking to my game plan. the proof will be in the measuring, hoping to see a difference on paper.

I read an article yesterday that said the number one reason people don't exercise is a lack of time, lack of interest in exercising and injury or disability. I can attest to the disability one as for years I have suffered with severe joint pain from taking Tamoxifen, it has taken me 4.5 years to have the energy to even think about exercising. Then I had to find something that was joint friendly besides swimming, so for me its the elliptical machine, I read, listen to music and even take our tablet with me and read books on it.
So it is interesting to note that of all the reason one has to not exercise, only one is outside the control of the individual: injury or disability. The issue of lack of time appears to fit well with the many factors already outlined in many communities increasing weight; our need for food to be convenient, the increased consumption of takeaway shops and the automation of our lifestyles and food production. Have you ever seen so many "healthy" meals in a grocery store, we use to call these TV dinner's as most people sat in front of the TV and ate them maybe on Friday night, now its all to convenient. Have you ever read the package, the salt content in most of these foods is very hard. I think we should all go back to eating like cavemen, every thing fresh and home grown. I rarely eat processed food as I have several allergies and am working very hard to follow a meal plan to loose weight. I do eat all fresh vegetables or ones that I have frozen myself. I prepare fresh salads and use my own dressing made of lemon, olive oil, a bit of maple syrup and garlic.
Do you find you get caught up in the fast food frenzy?
Do you strive to eat fresh foods?
