Dr. Phil's Weight Loss Book

Posted on: Tue, 11/18/2008 - 22:15| By: GinaBina

I read "The Ultimate Weight Solution: The 7 Keys to Weight Loss Freedom" by Dr. Phil after my first child was born. With it, I was 5 lbs within my pre-pregnancy weight. I don't know if I have time to re-read it this time after baby #2. But here's some stuff I remember.

1. Get rid of all the snack foods in the house. But what about the hubby and kids' snacks. The book says to keep a place/cabinet designated for the hubby and kids snacks. This cabinet is off-limits to you. I've done this, and it's worked pretty well for me

Holiday Rush

Posted on: Tue, 11/18/2008 - 21:55| By: GinaBina

I can't believe it's Thanksgiving next week. I feel the holiday rush, and feel like tons of things to do. And I haven't exercised, not even power-walked for a couple of days. But I have been eating well, though. And it's almost time to go to bed, so no exercise tonight.

I hope to exercise, at least walk tomorrow. Where does the time go with kids and commitments? Do you guys feel the same?

Jogging

Posted on: Mon, 11/17/2008 - 00:08| By: GinaBina

So one of my fitness goals is to jog a half-marathon in May. I think that's enough time to train.

At first, I couldn't even run. I started off training just walking 1.5 miles. Then, started really slowly and jogged .25 mile. When I felt comfortable I went up jogging to .5 mile to 1 mile to 1.5 miles to 2 miles, and finally to 2.5 miles now.

I'm running on a treadmill at 0% incline, and need to increase the incline so it's similar to real roads. Increasing the treadmill's incline is a goal.

Fast Food

I'm proud of myself for not ordering anything from the Long John Silver's drive-thru b/c my husband wanted it. If it was steak and shake, that's another story. My husband ate his fast food at home, while i made myself a ham sandwich for a meal.

I heard reading "Fast Food Nation" turns people off from eating fast food. That's on my to-read list.
