Surprised Myself This Morning. - ANTHONYD - 04-24-2008
As I'm walking through reception at work yesterday, the receptionist commented on my loss of weight :blink:
And 15 min. later, another person I work with said the same thing.
I've been hitting the gym 3 or 4 times a week, mainly cardio and massive numbers of crunches. Nothing too crazy. I honestly haven't been paying attention to the weight loss aspect of my routine. I'm doing it to clear my mind. I found I just wasn't as "clear" in my thinking the last little while.
So about a 2 months ago I started up at the GoodLife on Bloor.
I cut out fast food entirely (tough to do if you've ever worked downtown) I haven't had a beer in a month, and have been eating less than I normally would. Mostly the same foods I always was, just less of it.
So this morning I hopped on the scale at home.
I started out at 282 even and to my surprise, I'm rockin' a clean 263.6
The double-chin is all but gone, I can see a couple of high-abs poking through and I have a lot more energy.
I'm goin' out to buy new jeans today. (this is a big deal for me)
:)

Multi vitamins???
Well since we have the Centrum account here, I get the s*** for free by the truck loads, so I take one of those a day. Accompanied my gallons upon gallons of water.

Nice, yeah hydration is very important as well (and not coffee/tea either, that's actually a major no-no) usually eight 8oz glasses a day is what they recommend as a minimum (in this arid office I'm usually up to twelve glasses of water <_<)
and hydration during exercise is also important as well...
