Four Years of Living Lean

Sorry this is late....

Here are some pictures (befores and afters)...Pictures...

I keep learning about what works for me and this past year has shown me that variety in exercise is definitely the way to go...Not only does it not get boring that way, but also my body likes and needs it!
Lots of biking (between the flat tires)..had a rash of them this year on my bike and my car...and also working on lifting heavier weights...I did discover I have NO STRENGTH...I can lift light/medium weights (like to 12 pounds per arm), but can't seem to break thru that weight...gives me something to work on this winter.
I also started doing more bodyweight exercises...and also have become the Plank master!! Planks are GREAT for your abs and upper body. Another interesting 'achievement', I have become more flexible...I can now touch my toes behind my head and hold them there when I roll back....couldn't do this 3 months ago!

I came up with a few new recipes and tweaked a few older ones - check the tags in the right hand column of this blog..Still have my cookbook project in the works...just need to finish it so I can get it published...won't be fancy, but it will be useful!

Can't imagine ever going back to my old lifestyle now...I like what I eat and I like my exercise routines I need to do to keep my new body...I do have occasional treat of 'non-plan' food (i.e. not really healthy), but that is rare...just don't like what some of that stuff does to my body and it is getting easier to say no to most of it...(My cookies I bake are the exception - thank goodness I can control the production of those! I can't eat them if they aren't in the house!)

And finally...in October...the Infomercial came out!! And I am in it (albeit briefly)...It is for the Six Week Body Makeover, the original plan I used to lose all the weight 5 years ago...Check your local listings for airings (listed as 6 week Body Makeover in my onscreen guide) or surf thru the Paid Programming in the wee hours of the morning! Also see this post for more details and links: Infomercial

If you need to clean up your act...NOW is the time to start...don't wait..the sooner you start, the sooner you will get healthy and lose the fat!! I am so glad I did!!!
