mecalder86’s BodyBlog

I don’t have a lot of time to write on here at the moment. But I remember when I joined the body groups that I am, that they required their members to give them an update once in a while… which I have not done. Which is why I am writing this quick post.

6 weeks ago, I went to the doctor to be put on Effexor, an antidepressant. I told Mom, that when I went on this, I was going to buckle down, and lose some weight. Starting that day, I cut out alll the junk food. Not some, all of it. I haven’t had a spoonful of ice cream, a chip, or one drink of pepsi since then. Canadian Thanksgiving went by, and I was thankful that I didn’t eat any pie. Now I eat a lot of colored and green vegetables. I enjoy them as long as I have a tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on them, for extra flavor and my healthy fats. My breakfast is either Oatmeal and Fruit, or Fiber 1 cereal and fruit. I have things that I can snack on throughout the day, like cans of tuna, eggs, yogurt, milk and some whey protein… which is a last resort thing, because I would rather rely on natural foods over supplements that cost 1/8th of a paycheck.

For exercise right now, I go for a 20-30 minute walk each day.. when I feel myself getting tired, or out of breath, I make myself walk faster. And I do push ups, crunches, leg raises, oblique crunches, twisting crunches, and some dumbbell work for muscle work. I know I can’t spot reduce, and they say that too much ab work can thicken my waist. But I would rather have a thick waist with no fat rolls, than a fat waist with no muscle.

When I started, I weighed 303. Now I’m at around 270. I don’t have a Camera right now, but I am definitely looking better than my progress pictures. Can’t wait for another 6 weeks to go by

Well talk to you later. I hope that those that believe will help and pray for my success. Message me and I will also pray for yours.
