I've been drinking alot more water since last year and putting these weightloss drink packets in the bottles every morning before I eat anything and they work!!! I was really skeptical but I've lost at least 25 lbs. just drinking these packets without excerise. Now imagine what I can accomplish if I actually work at losing weight?:)<br /><br />yadkny@hotmail.com*yadkny*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11009997492532854307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-83414873700336435372011-01-07T22:20:30.446-05:002011-01-07T22:20:30.446-05:00My bigest thing would be to continue it past the f...My bigest thing would be to continue it past the first week.

It's so accurate, at least for me. <br /><br />Sometimes I'm sprinting, sometimes I seem to be crawling along. : )<br /><br />My plan for excercize this year is to just do it.

I used the eliptical and weights. Then I got sick and kind of fell out of practice. For the past few months I have struggled to get a routine going because of family issues. So, for the new year I am setting up all of my random bits of equipment and a couple of new pieces of equipment in my basement and I will use them at least twice a week to get back in shape. Good luck with your interval training!Jen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-63452611649368495092011-01-07T12:41:22.109-05:002011-01-07T12:41:22.109-05:00I tried Zumba for the first time yesterday and lov...I tried Zumba for the first time yesterday and loved it, except for the fact that my friend and I were the youngest ones in the class! I've been eating smaller portions and when I crave a cookie I only eat one or two and not the whole bag. This has worked for me, since I lost weight during the Holidays instead of gaining. I'm not a fan of exercising, but I love the classes at the gym and I go with friends for motivation. That is definitely key. When I feel like sleeping in, I think about my friend waiting at the gym for me and I force myself out of bed. Definitely don't want a muffin top for summer!Elena Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034030849453783732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-6743610571673919652011-01-07T12:01:30.840-05:002011-01-07T12:01:30.840-05:00Very interesting info in the interval training, Sy...Very interesting info in the interval training, Sydney. I may try that out once the snow is gone. <br /><br />Please don't enter me for the contest since I already have your "Trust Me" and am hunting for reading time.

I do agree that the smaller/shorter chunks of exercise work better for me (easier to stomach? ;)) Taking a class also helps for me--something that I've paid for, I'm slightly more loathe to blow off. And yes, something I at least kind of like is easier (for me, that's dance--I can't stand running...) Or walking with someone--having someone to chat with makes the time go far faster :) No dogs, but I'll bet DF's method works great, too!

You used to take us on daily walks. Now we know with that snow at Christmas time, walking wasn't an option really. But c'mon, Mom, it's 60 degrees outside today. We miss you."<br /><br />So I've resolved I'm going to take my dogs for their mile and a half walk at least three times (if not the whole seven) a week now. It's good for them and GREAT for me.D. F.

I can go at my own pace and can wear raggedy sweats. The only problem is finding the self-control to do it often.<br /><br />I like the comparison between interval training and writing--it exactly describes my word counts, too.Skylar Kadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820959078583565408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334971464359338872.post-26228107885897425132011-01-07T11:09:59.834-05:002011-01-07T11:09:59.834-05:00Now I know why I stopped in the middle of revising...Now I know why I stopped in the middle of revising my WIP to check the blogs...I'm interval training! LOL.<br /><br />Seriously, excercise for me has to be disciplined...it's too easy to avoid otherwise. Writing is semi-disciplined. I do tend to write in spurts.Cara Bristolhttp://carabristol.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
