Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 hey , welcome back *G* Do you still do the Body for Life exercise part?

Thanks Shan <html><body> <tt> Hey.<BR> <BR> I just got a " What's up " mail from Shan... so I thought I'd check in. <BR> I always loved this group, but life just got in the way of checking <BR> in and keeping up. <BR> <BR> For those I don't know... I'm a 6'0 " tall, 46 year old male <BR> Kindergarten teacher. Last June I was 240 pounds with a body fat of <BR> 34%. Now I'm 187 with 14.2% bodyfat. I've lost my weight and kept it <BR> up using Body for Life eating for the first few months and a regular <BR> calorie controlled, balanced diet since then. I eat 1800 calories a <BR> day most days, broken into 7 meals a day. I have gone up 7 pounds <BR> since my low of 180, so I am being strict again to get it back down. <BR> <BR> Like most of us, my body and my natural eating habits want to go back <BR> up in weight, so I have accepted the fact that I have to monitor my <BR> eating for the rest of my life.<BR> <BR> As for exercise, I am the Anti-Aerobics Maniac. I have done all my <BR> loss with controlled diet and 2-3 days of lifting weights (no more <BR> than 45-60 minutes per day) per week. It works for me and for some <BR> others I know that have done it.<BR> <BR> The hardest part for me has been two-fold: 1) Being a teacher, the <BR> lounge seems to always have donuts and bagels and other tasty junk. <BR> Before I would have a donut or 3 during the day... now I just have <BR> one half donut or walk by it all together... not easy, but that's <BR> what it takes for me. 2) Working out when I don't want to! Sometimes <BR> it will be workout day and I just don't want to go... but I force <BR> myself to get dressed and go... usually I'm glad I did and sometimes <BR> I hate it... but it's the cost of living better...<BR> <BR> I'll start reading posts and try to get involved again.<BR> <BR> Thanks again to Shan for the mail. Glad to be around again.<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> </tt> <br> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2> <tr bgcolor=#FFFFCC> <td align=center><font size= " -1 " color=#003399><b>Yahoo!

I admire people who can do it at home, but I just can't do it that way... I need to get away and workout somewhere else. If you want to do the workout at home, it would help to at least have a basic set of dumbells and a bench... you can usually find those for a decent price at Wal-Mart or Costco or someplace like that. I also only did the weight part because a long term committment to six days a week just wasn't go to happen with the rest of real life. Good Luck.
