weight loss musings

[Guest guest]

My fat finally seems to be melting, which I am very grateful for. I am sure

that a big part of it is that I have finally traded in my totally sedentary

(depressed) lifestyle for a more active one.

Looking back through my CC receipts I see that I ordered my LR4YT book near

the end of August 2001, so I figure I started eating this way around the

first week of September. That means I am coming toward the end of six

months. I *immediately* started avoiding all avoids and eating more

beneficials, although I misread the rice (neutral) information and was

eating it daily for a while.

I added beef back into my diet on 11/8/01 and have been eating it nearly

daily since then. At this time my stamina greatly increased, it was

noticable within a week or two at the most. This took away my last excuse

for not moving my body :-)

So, fo me, I think it was a combo of things. Dr. D. writes that some people

have to follow the plan for a while before it kicks in. Adding the beef

gave me a HB source of protein on a regular basis, cutting back on the rice

and sweet potato chips, and of course exercising several times a week. I

will increase the exercise in frequency and duration as I continue to

rebuild my strength.

Finally it is all coming together and the fat is going away! Also, this is

the FIRST Winter in ten+ years that I am not depressed!!! This is major

folks. I cannot say that the diet is the only reason, but I bet it is a big

contributor.

Thinner and firmer and stronger every day,

Lynda :-)

Lynn,

A mini tramp can be used indoors or out...so can be

used in any kind of weather and is also good for

people with bad joints. I can use it with my bad

feet. I wish I knew where I hid that site about the

mini tramp, but it is used in many training programs.

OKC
