Eat Less Move More

I’ve been on a diet for about a month now and lost 10 lbs. I think my general fitness level has increased as well. My priorities have certainly changed. I’ve unsubscribed from my online games. I hardly game at all now, and my reading has been cut way back.

I used to believe I’d exercise more if there were enough time to do that and everything else. The first week or so the exercising was of the make myself do it sort of thing. I didn’t enjoy it so much as endure it. Somewhere in there though it changed to the point that I walk and jog in place while watching Survivor now to make sure I get some cardio in. I won’t lie. I’m not doing crap for strength training and I need to. That’s my weakness right now. I haven’t any room to do it and I don’t want to buy equipment. I did the 30 day shred for a week and then stopped and never picked it up again. I should start again, but the walking & cardio is going strong for me right now so I’m going to stick with it for now.

I’ve found a good walking tracking site. I’m a fan of the pedometer, using a good pedometer, the Omron HJ-112 instead of a cheapo model cut my steps way down… partly because the cheap ones were measuring a thousand steps on the drive to work when I didn’t walk at all. So, using WalkerTracker I’m keeping up with my steps. Using SparkPeople I’m keeping up with my vegetables, water, and other goals, including minutes of cardio per day/week/month. I’ve been using Weight Watchers Online for Men to track my points, that is mostly a low fat, high fiber diet and portion control. I’m better disciplined with that than I was/am with SparkPeople.
