"Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror, cause I get better loking each day. To know me is to love me, I must be a hell of a man. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm doing the best that I can." Mac Davis
LOL!!! We were just laughin and makin fun of people who claim DDR is their workout plan!! That shit is funny...
Anyway - RK that is GREAT news! Man I wish you were here so we could work out together and I could help keep you motivated.. (i.e. MAKE you work out! )
LV, is actually DEAD right on that statistic - I was watching some fitness show the other day and they said 95% of people quit their workout plan within the first 2 weeks. So if you can stick with it, that's saying A LOT! And that's the HARDEST part of starting to workout.. you tell yourself "Well I'll skip today and make it up by workin out tomorrow or later this week.."
That's how I was at first.. then finally after almost a year of only workin out 0-2 times per week.. I decided I was gonna stick with it. I made a schedule and I PRIORITIZED it over EVERYTHING I had to do after work. I didn't even let the thought of NOT working out enter my mind. Even now with having school on Monday... I come home - tired from working all day + school.. starving from not having ate since noon.. but first thing I do is workout.
You just HAVE to stick with it. I love your eating plan, and I have to agree with toohot:
Don't overwhelm yourself right away. Start with just the cardio, see if you can stick with it for a few weeks, then start lifting. Take baby steps. Now I've heard different, but I try to workout on an empty stomach... because there is nothing to burn, therefore you burn fat. But I've heard other people say if you workout on an empty stomach you burn muscle.. But I go with the former.Originally Posted by toohot4pants
And the MOST important thing you could have done - was QUIT SMOKING - which you did, and is GREAT!! I also drink water all day long, I try to hit my 64fl oz per day. No more pop, I drink only water, milk, and juices.
I know you can accomplish this goal.. once you start to see the results, and feel how much more energy you have, and how healthier you feel - you'll want to keep with it.
Good luck, RK!

I was supposed to swim this morning, but the pool was closed, becaues it was VERY cold...
So I ran/walked on a treadmill instead
I'll take it easy for now..........
i just had a turkey sandwhich, and i bought an apple for mid day snack!
Thx again bud

I'm sure there are plenty of jokes about it. What are yours?Originally Posted by Tone
The whole concept is a joke to me! ;D
I dunno, I just remember someone was makin fun of it, can't rememer who or what was said.
Yeah I can see how people may say "How can a game be your workout plan?" and laugh about it. But in all honesty, I've had 2 friends who lost many pant sizes because of that game. It's fun to play so I don't have trouble keeping up with it. Have you ever tried it?Originally Posted by Tone
