http://bodytransforming.com Losing weight and getting in shape... one day at a time. 2008-08-06T04:57:39Z hourly 1 2000-01-01T12:00+00:00 http://bodytransforming.com/2008/08/05/day-32-twilight-zone/ 2008-08-06T04:57:39Z admin Been a strange few days.  But I am still losing weight -- keeping calories low, eating a lot of veggies. Not as fast as before, though. Down to 237.5 lbs. now. I need to resume my exercise.  It's been a full 12 days since that unpleasant workout and I'm just now ... http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/31/day-26-juicing-is-a-lot-of-work/ 2008-08-01T00:12:45Z admin I juiced three days and haven't since.  Juicing is a lot of work and I'm not sure it's compatible with my normal schedule.  I might try to juice once or twice per week.  Still, it's tricky getting the right amount of fruits and veggies and also having the storage space ... http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/28/day-21-2-steps-back/ 2008-07-29T01:20:32Z admin Not really thrilled with the last few days.  No progress made, I'm sure.  Probably didn't lose any ground though. I mentioned that I worked out on Friday night.  I really overdid it, although I swear I wasn't trying.  My arms became incredibly stiff and sore.  I couldn't sleep comfortably Saturday or ... http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/26/yes-i-worked-out/ 2008-07-26T14:32:19Z admin I could only do half of the prescribed upper body workout.  It hurt.  I am still in such pathetic shape.  Today I can barely move my arms.  In fact it is very difficult just to get food from a plate to my face.  Which I guess is kind of a ... hurt.  I am still in such pathetic shape.  Today I can barely move my arms.  In fact it is very difficult just to get food from a plate to my face.  Which I guess is kind of a good thing.]]> http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/24/day-19-3-mile-walks-no-smoothies/ 2008-07-25T01:59:32Z admin The good news: the diet is still going well.  I quickly checked my weight today at the trusty Publix scale - as expected, down another half-pound to 238.5, but it's an unofficial weigh-in, not going on my ticker.  If I report every single pound I lose, I'd be a big-time ... http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/22/day-17-239-lbs/ 2008-07-22T17:02:45Z admin I walked three miles last night.  It took a little less than an hour even though I tried to move as fast as I could.  Legs hurt at first but eased up about halfway through the walk.  I will try to do 3 from now on, maybe jogging about 1 ... I walked three miles last night.  It took a little less than an hour even though I tried to move as fast as I could.  Legs hurt at first but eased up about halfway through the walk.  I will try to do 3 from now on, maybe jogging about 1 mile of it to speed it up. I was rewarded for my efforts with a nice visit to the weigh-in scale.  239 lbs.  Back into the thirties. The juicing is going well overall.  I enjoy making the juice and drinking it.  It is time-consuming, however.  I have to gather all the veggies together, wash them, cut the celery stalks, quarter the apple into slices, and peel the orange, grapefruit, and lemon.  Finally I juice it, which is the fun part.  Then I have to clean the juicer, which is my least favorite part, and then I need to clean up the kitchen, put the leftover junk in the garbage disposal, etc.  To make my 3 cups of juice only takes about 20 solid minutes but it seems longer in the morning when you need to move things along. Energy level is still really good.  My weight bench awaits me in the garage.  I want to start working out three times per week, but will probably only do so twice this week.  When I was working out regularly in 1999-2000 (so long ago!) I followed the template described in the popular Body For Life book and it worked great for me.  The Body For Life diet is similar to Dean's diet in that you eat many small meals per day instead of three major ones, but it's less strict with regards to what you can eat (for example, more meat.)  I'm convinced this is the right way to eat -- it's hard to really accept it until you experience it, but to have more energy and lose weight you need to eat a lot of food.  Starve yourself, and you'll lose.]]> http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/21/day-16-240-lbs/ 2008-07-21T17:29:54Z admin That's a full 7 lbs. off now.  I might be a little less -- I ate shortly before weighing myself. Going to try for a 3 mile walk tonight instead of 2.  Dean insists I have to get up to 5 miles per day. ]]> http://bodytransforming.com/2008/07/20/veggies/ 2008-07-20T17:02:19Z admin That's everything that goes into my veggie drink. You dump all that stuff in the juicer, spin it up, and at the end you're left with a great-tasting drink. How could that medley taste great, you ask? Well, I was skeptical too. The full ingredient list: Carrots (5 large) Celery ... That's everything that goes into my veggie drink.
