Day 4 ~ Walk the Talk!

I wanted to mention that by no part am I affiliated with wii or any website.  I am doing this on my own, using the years of vast knowledge I picked up dieting and working out.  

I have always looked into diets, taken nutritional classes, and as mentioned before, worked out with personal trainers, fitness models and professional body builders.  I picked their brains and this is the result.

However, having the knowledge is nothing if you do not put it to good use!  

My Cooking & Eating Habits:  My problem is that I love good food; gourmet  food; I love to cook, I must use butter, not margarine, I do not do diet drinks (it's either all or nothing- besides I am not a big soda drinker); sugar- never artificial; we make things from scratch... lemonade included; I only used natural fresh foods, nothing processed or canned... fresh, Fresh, FRESH! foods only!!, I love to eat, and Calley loves to cook... 

Now we just have to tweek the way we cook and eat.  All I have to do is just substitute some items for other healthier ones.  Lot's of times I will use lemon or lime, instead of salt.

Goal:  To loose 15 pounds in 21 days  

             If the contestants on Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition  

             can be expected to loose anywhere from 90 to 150 pounds in 

             a 90-day period... I can do this!

Day 3 Weight :           173.5 lbs.   

Day 4 Weight:            172.4 lbs.   

Weight Lost:                  -1.1 lbs.    

Weight Lost To Date:    4.0 lbs.

Weight Left to Loose: 11.7 lbs.

Wii Fit Age:  48 years old

Today's Exercise:  This morning I worked out for two hours and seven minutes of exercise.  Technically, I made my daily goal!!  

My workout included: Two Person Island Run- with weights (Calley exercises with me), Advance Step - with weights, Rhythm Boxing,Island Bike Ride, Jack-Knife,Single Leg Twist, Snowball Fight, Basic Run - with weights, Rhythm Boxing, Lunges (I hate lunges!!), Hula Hoop, Island Cycling and finished it off with Skating Arena (I suck at skate boarding!). 

Burned 814 calories - The equivalent of eating a slice 5.5oz. of Cashews

Water Intake:  4 - 16oz bottles of water (Very disappointing on my part, however- it is said to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water.  Therefore, I have met the requirement.

Breakfast:  Triple Berry Banana Smoothie

Lunch:  1 cup of tuna salad, with 20 Gluten Free Multi Grain Crackers and water.

Dinner:  1 six ounce piece of steak, with a Romaine Lettuce Salad with tomatoes, avocados, carrots and scallions and duh... 1/2 cup of basmati rice (sorry I do not do brown rice- although it is healthier and recommended for diets.  I just do not care for it.)

Cooking Tip of the Day:  Herbs will keep refrigerated for three to five days, if they are stored in water and covered loosely with plastic wrap. Never cut fresh basil until you are ready to use it. I suggest that you tear the basil instead of cutting it; basil turns black very easily.  

One tablespoon of fresh herbs = One teaspoon of dried herbs.

Today's Summary:  I didn't think I could feel more sore than I did yesterday... but I did! And as I said yesterday... there was no thought!  Before I could give it a second thought I was working out, and did so for two hours!!  In the end it felt like such an accomplishment... I felt proud!

Tomorrow's Goal:  I am going to continue on the path I am on, and give it more of an effort to increase my workout to two and a half hours. 

Health Tip of the Day: 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise daily can help improve blood and fluid circulation in your body so you feel less bloated and frumpy. Good circulation brings more color to your skin and reduces paleness.

I am not a doctor or a dietitian, and am not promoting for you to follow "my 21-day challenge."  I do however advise you to consult your physician before exercise or dieting.  This is for my own personal gain (or loss) and not affiliated with wii in any way.  wii is not paying me for this.
