Working out and Eating right

Date January 21, 2008

I’ve been on the Abs Diet now for a few weeks and I really feel great. While I’m not sure if I’m losing a lot of weight, I do feel like the routine is making a difference. I’m eating better and I do my daily 20 minutes of workout. I alternate exercises at home and […]

1/2 cup oatmeal (soak in water if you think this is too dry)
2 tbsp vanilla yogurt
1/2 of the chocolate whey (use the half of the supplied […]

Grocery Shopping is expensive!

Date January 8, 2008

So yesterday, the girl friend and I went grocery shopping so I could start up on my Abs Diet meal plans and work out schedule. I went running in the early morning with my dog, who is just as out of shape as I am. We went for about 4 or 5 blocks then I […]

Back on the Bandwagon

Date January 7, 2008

Over the few days that I was out of commission, I read about my 6-8 meals a day routine and found that some refer to it as the Abs Diet. I read up […]

Listen to your body!

Today’s lesson when it comes to diet and exercise is: Listen to your body!
I’ve been eating my 8 meals a day and slowly adding exercise and weights to my routine. I cannot stress how important sleep is! In the last week, I haven’t been getting to bed as early as I’d like to and that […]

Perparing meals is the key to eating 6-8 meals a day

Date January 3, 2008

Last night I prepared a lot of food to take to work so I can eat every 2-3 hours. What did I prepare? I made 2 ham wraps with yellow mustard and some parmesean cheese, cut them into four pieces. Grabbed a container and put some pork and beans in there. This had me set […]

Weight Training does a Body good

Date January 3, 2008

So I didn’t run today so instead I did some weight lifting. I don’t have a huge set of weights to life, I have two adjustable 20 lbs. dumbells. I originally had it set to 30 lbs. each but have opted for now to lift just 20lbs each arm.
I did 3 sets of 10 curls, […]
