I lost a pound, down to two hundred and twenty four pounds and forty-eight percent body fat. I was on the leg press machine doing my usual one hundred and thirty five pounds when I realized it was too light. I came back to the leg press and increased the weight to one hundred and fifty. I was easily able to do one hundred and fifty pounds for two reps of twenty five. This is proof of muscle building. A young woman at the gym told me I inspired her. I relayed to her that he 80something women pumping iron inspire me.
When I did body pump for two years, I lost forty pounds. When I stopped for a year, I gained it all back. I know it is not the exercise or one thing that gets me off track off keeping myself healthy. I hope to continue body pump into my nineties, and yoga forever. I do enjoy body stretching and muscle building activities.
One pound loss in two weeks is discouraging. I worked out for two hours yesterday. I am increasing my exercise to at least ninety minutes a day. I learned I can enjoy salads without the salad dressing added. I switched coffeemate creamer to soy milk creamer with half the calories and no saturated fats. I am in it for life.
