DAY ONE AT THE GYM FOR US RESOLUTIONARIES. We met friends and actually mixed working out with some catching up. Larry did great, training arms and doing cardio. As we go forward, I will post his actual exercises and progress. Maybe as I get better at this I can even post some videos. Isn't technology great!
I did triceps, chest and shoulders. Then 35 minutes of low intensity cardio. Came home and had a shake with non-fat yogurt, a banana, blueberries and a scope of high quality protein powder. (Sure I would have preferred a bagel with cream cheese, but we all have our little scarifices.) :)
Just as an aside, when I was fat, I always wondered why skinny women were on the nasty side. Well now I know why - they are HUNGRY and probably work their butts off in the gym!! It is amazing what a sugar rush will do for your mood. And for those who say "skinny feels better than a cookie tastes" - well in my opinion, they are not eating the right kind of cookies. For you fellow resolutionaries who have decided this is the year to lose weight and get healthy, in my opinion, you just have to come to grips with the fact that dieting is not easy. It takes a lot of work, scarifice and dedication. It is great to look good in a pair of skinny jeans and have people ask how you stay slim, but it is much better to feel great and know that what you are doing will keep you around with the people you love for a much longer period of time.
So I guess the saying should be "being healthy feels better than any food could ever taste because if you are dead, you ain't eating nothing." ;)
