Well it's been several months now and I'm starting to go through cycles of "into it, not into it". I'm told it takes six months to really build a habit but I fear that this habit is going to take longer. However I'm still seeing a lot of results. I've lost another two inches from my waist (now 46" pants) and all around my body muscle firmness, and mass, is returning. These accomplishments I think are the easy wins.
Given how out of shape I was I'm sure that diet and exercise is going to work first on easy to lose fat. I figure that it might take me twice as long to lose another six inches off my waist - from my starting point that is. As to the strength building, I do have one area that I would like to improve but I don't yet know the right exercise to target it. I will though and when I do I will be doing it daily.
As for my cardio, I'm starting my days with a 15 minute bicycle routine and, time allowing, closing my daily workout with 15 minutes on a step climber. When I can get both in, and my strength workout, my rough calculations put me at burning up to 400 calories in a 90 minute time window. That's about 25% of my daily intake... Not only can I live with that but I wonder, can I actually live with that?
We'll find out together won't we?
Keep up the good work!!!
