So you wanna lose weight? Simple: exercise & eat less than your target daily caloric intake. Mine is 1700 calories per day. Yesterday I consumed about 1500. I even had 5 pieces of dark chocolate with pistachios. I did 10 minutes on my elliptical and I did 3 squat jacks with my 1 pound dumb bells.
I've lost 2 lbs in 2 days after spending the last 2 weeks trying my best to drop 3 lbs that I had gained back. So 5 lbs in 2 weeks. But that's a bit fast for me because I not trying to lose weight fast. I need to replace my fat with muscle because I don't want that saggy skin when I reach my target goal. Lady at work did the lap band, lost about 80 lbs in 3 months. She went from looking her age (about late 30's) to 60-ish. She still hasn't gotten the skin removal surgery after 10 years and still looks 60-ish. She never did gain the weight back. Granted I don't care what people think when they look at me, but I refuse to look old before my time.
BTW, if your every drained of energy and need a perk me up, ignore the coffee...do about 3 jumping jacks. Yes, you read right, Jumping Jacks. Turns out the exercises we learned in grade school are still beneficial today. I just woke up so I apologize if I'm repeating myself.
Not weight loss related rant coming up, stop reading if you're not interested.
In the news is all about Hollywood women & sexual harassment. I blame society. If you teach your kid to be a jerk, they will end up acting like one in adulthood. "OH NO, I would never do that"...but are you willing to walk away from the asshole in your life who treats you like shit? Then you're teaching your kids it's ok to treat people like shit & your children to accept this behavior from them.
I just as guilty as the next person, but with one caveat. I raised my daughter to understand that all boys want is butt's & boobs. Sadly, the boys that have come into her life keep proving that point over and over again. No wonder she's still single even as an adult.
Until all humans put assholes in their place and complain, it will never end. Since we need jobs, sexual harassment will endure as it always has. The problem is this: simple office flirtation vs. actual sexual harassment. Some folks won't tolerate anything while others, like myself, don't mind if some dude/lady makes a lewd comment because it is a form of flattery even if it's sexist. But then I give as good as I get. My opinions only, ignore them if you wish.
Eat less, move more and good luck.
