I'm not a strong runner. No matter how hard I stretch, I get cramps.. Power walker, yes. I'd rather do the ellipticals for an hour and go to a taebo/high impact aerobic class than run for 20 minutes.. I will go back to the gym starting tomorrow. I weaned for a month due to the holiday meals.. but I'm going back..
i started off slowly, running is the best exercise, in my opinion. but not everyone likes it. eliptical machines are good, once in awhile i do that for cardio, easier on the knees and joints, good crosstraining exercises. That's good you are going back to your exercise classes...i think a few of us too weaned off last month. I came back with an hour run...lol :sweat: :beaten:
lucky for you Ms.F you can eat whatever you like, nowadays i gained so much weight last year, im trying to eat healthy and excercise more.. been playing tennis and run every morning. i try not to eat no later than 9, geez :sweat: i hate it when my mom cooks around 7-8 and finished around 9pm :grumble: and my tennis trainer was bugging me not to eat no later than 6.. friggin thats hell, i aint doing that.

I actually gained 15lbs last month.. how's that for holiday binging.. funny instructor/mom story.. first time i went to the gym, the trainor advised me to cut down on carbohydrates.. like RICE.. i was like. "are you seriously, suggesting that I cut down on RICE?"
and i'm binging right now cause tomorrow starts hell. well not really. but i have to watch what i eat again.. not applicable now when im munching on a tiny pack of ritz cheez sanwiches, Hostess' Zingers (mmmmmmmm.. lemon, cake and filling!!!) and a 20oz pepsi.. just that snack 220cal+420+100 = 740calories.. in one sitting..
it's going to be a while before this happens again..
why not just eat brown rice? thats pretty healthy and i eat that, better than cutting rice entirely. i even tried to cook that for my parents as well cuz theyre diabetic but theyre so spoiled and stubborn you have to scold them too :hehe:
same with bread, eat all wheats instead of whites. :mrgreen:

but whites taste WAAAY better.. (that did not come out the way i would want it to)
:rofl:
i exercise alright.. and i watch what i eat.. but i don't eat healthy.. does that make sense?
I always found this funny when someone suggest to cut down rice to lose a few pounds. As far as I know, most people in Japan eat rice 3 times a day and they aren't fat at all. Rice + fish = great shape. :)

thats exactly what i said too, but you'll get used to it. being also a pastry chef in training, i know the basics of the fat facts and other things.
yes it make a lil sense, people do watch what they eat and excercise but they still lack of discipline. :hehe: been there, done that, and if i only listened to them, i wouldnt be suffering to lose weight :(
