My first week has not seen much weight loss as I have been dealing with my plantar fasciitis injury and I have not been counting calories although I have been eating the foods recommended by Tom Venuto for burning fat.
BFmom from the inner circle gave me a link to some excellent work out videos at www.collagevideo.com and I went there and ordered one called “The Studio” by Ellen Barrett. It looked the easiest.
HA! Did I say easy? I put the video on and began following the moves until she got to going a little too fast for me or until I got winded, then I would sit for a few minutes. Then I would get up and do some more. I was not even half through the first warm-up when I was interrupted by something else.
The next two days I could feel the sore muscles in my upper legs and had a painful time just sitting down and getting up out of a chair. Wow, I thought, I am really out of shape. For the little amount of exercise I did, today I am sore. At least I know that the tape I bought is going to do its job and it is sure not as easy as it had looked.
Yesterday I began counting calories, and that is going to take some getting used to. I went to look at my bike and found the seat all torn up and the bike itself was covered with spider webs. I may need a new seat or some duck tape. I also bought a scale because the one I was using was not reliable.
That is my report for this week. It is March 1, 2008.
