The 6 Week Body Make-Over - day 3

Ultimate Goal: weight - 125 LBS, REWARD: healthy weight to start a family.
Day 3
Weight 218.2
Walking 0 minutes, 18 minute resistance training


Starting to get the hang of the whole eating thing. It doesn't seem like such a burden if I make one breakfast, then just eat half (plus fruit) then the other half as if it's my snack two hours later.

Drinking so much water in a day though is a little problem. Keep feeling like I have water sloshing around in my stomach. That, and having to pee all the time! D:

Laughed a lot with my sisters and mother last night and had to keep getting up to run to the bathroom for fear of peeing my pants from laughing so hard!

I've really enjoyed the walking part of the program so far. It's easy enough for anyone to do, and since it's based on your own body and doing what you can, it's good for anyone. Just have to be sure to keep your heart rate in the target area and do the proper breathing. Sounds weird to have to practice breathing (not talking about Lamaze!) but it really makes a difference.

Breath in 4 steps, then out 2. Having to force the breath out in two uses stomach and back muscles, and quite frankly, those muscles on me feel like they haven't been used in quite some time!

Crazy, to have sore muscles just from breathing exercises!

The concept though is to fully oxygenate your cells in order to increase usage of your slow-twitch muscle fibers since they burn fat, not sugars.

I've already dropped an inch from my waist! I had to measure twice just to be sure.
I thought I was being silly measuring, but I was curious, and it's true! Only two three days in, and I've lost an inch!!

Going to do the 18 minute resistance training exercises today for the first time.
