Lots of good stuff here...
I think we can agree that diets don't work. "There are more than 76,000 diet books on Amazon- no less than 82 of those are new ones coming out before the end of January- many of which promise that losing wight will be that easy (swear!). " Fitness January 2014
For me... I have learned to eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full. Interesting. When I stopped eating by the clock and waited for the hunger, I ate less. I drink more water. I found that often times, I confuse thirst for hunger.
I agree with Joe.... I stopped the "fake" food and eat more real food. I don't go for the "fat free" food, which has more sugar.
I love the weights! But that's nothing new for me. And, I like cardio for my heart. I have programs now that mix it up... Some weights, some stretch and some cardio!
I, like Happinow, gained after I got here. I thought it would be the opposite. I stopped the driveway parties and don't drink unless it's a special occasion. I still go out to eat, but I'm making better food choices. I've cut out most of the meat and switched to a lot of fish. *baby steps*
I still eat dessert, but it's sharing with someone and not eating the whole thing.
When I was younger, I would think that as I got older, I would forget about it. Well... I'm not sure what that magic age is.... I certainly haven't hit it yet.
I like working out at home. I know The Villages has great programs. But sometimes they are so full and I'm not always ready when they start. I find I do better when I work out at night. I think I might try the Zumba thing... Looks like fun!
I have to work out every day... It has to be a habit for me.
Love the posts...
