I went to the fitness center at work today for another bike-ride. I can
usually burn off 200+ calories that way and I work hard but I don’t
exactly see the weight falling off. I’ve decreased the portions of food
I eat. For lunch I had a tuna-salad sandwich with cheese & tomato
with a V8. I was totally full afterwards! I used to pull through a
Burger King and wolf down a whopper, fries and a drink and then start
looking around for something to finish it off. Last week I ate just the
sandwich — just the whopper and it filled me nicely. I’m quitting
french fries and chips, which is really hard since I like them a lot.
With
lunch I usually like the motion of nibbling on something while I eat a
sandwich. I may need to find something to substitute for the motion –
at least for a while.
The point is, through a combination of
aerobic activity and decreasing the portions of food I eat, the weight
should start dropping off fairly quickly. I would think. So far its not
working out that way. I’ll give it a chance though. I’ll keep at it for
a couple of months and if I don’t see any improvement by … lets say
the middle of April, then I will have to sit down and re-evaluate what
I’m doing.
My hope is that I can loose enough weight over the
next few months that when summer gets here I won’t be so heavy that I
will hurt myself when I start being even more active. A couple of years
ago I started trying to jog and gave myself a nasty case of shin
splints. They really hurt a lot and made me back off of exercise for
quite a while. I also hope that by weight training my muscles will get
strong enough that I won’t hurt myself by exercising harder.
This is just the beginning, baby! I want to start doing much more active and interesting things than I’m doing now.
