Good news - down another belt size and able to wear my 'skinny' suits again. Actually one skinny suit is lose in the pants which is great.
900 jumps and routines done first thing post doggie walk. Loved the pull downs: felt good, did best to get back burn (very difficult as Patrick explained) but it was a great exercise. The forward shoulder raise - oh mama: painful, awful, crying like a little girl difficult. Got through the set with plenty of burn and sore as I sit here: but good.
This is my morning snack: looks great hey. Exactly my gram amount for morning fruit snack. Here's the deal. Get on your bike to your local Costco. I bought tubs of all types of berries (usually a luxury here in Tokyo) and are mixing them in with mikans (mandarins) and apples. I cannot believe I actually look forward to eating fruit. What's happening to me. Also drinking black coffee which I now enjoy.
A bad comparison but it is almost like your first beer or ciggarette behind the shed as a lad. Tastes awful - and then over time you begin to enjoy it - then you're hooked. The only difference is that these things now are good for you - and you enjoy them; and nicorette are not going to produce a berry-patch. Who knew?
Going good. Shirts and pants are loose although hesitating to buy new clothes as it's only day 20. Only if wearing a Muumuu was allowed when working within an Embassy? I could then lose weight and not have to worry about clothes not fitting properly. Although unlike Homer, I'd be losing weight and not gaining it.
1000 jumps tomorrow - giddyup.
Another belt? Good grief some of you guys are totally losing that weight!
ReplyDeleteThe fruit snack is making me drool!
So you are done with the day 20 workout and it's still day 19 here and I'm just getting ready to go to bed....still feels weird thinking about that.
My evenings are usually busy with work (Japanese start and finish the work day late). Getting the exercises done first thing in the morning works well with my schedule. Keep it up Molly.
ReplyDeleteNice berries.....freeze them and if you have a yogurt/fruit snack put them in, its almost like ice cream....well, not really, but its something different.....
ReplyDelete"That's what she said"
ReplyDeleteGood changes man.
ReplyDeleteAh a reference to one of the greatest Simpsons episodes ever.

Richard if you feel that you're losing too much weight, instead of bread for your sandwiches, use pop tarts! They're your window to weight gain.
The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand mash the keypad now.
