Working Hard or Hardly Working?

259 words posted on October 11, 2007 | Daily, Dieting, Exercise, Weight Loss

An unexpected October heat wave came through Delaware this past week.  While I was still able to accomplish all of my daily routines, this doesn’t mean I was happy about it.  It’s a myth that you lose more weight in the summer than you do in the fall.  I understand that sweating more is good for you but when you’re already feeling dehydrated due to a recent illness, you’re not exactly looking forward to your usual exercise routines.  I’m still doing a few miles a day on the walking front.  I will say that I’m not going as far as I used to based on the fact that I haven’t been feeling very well, but I’m still eating right and I guess that’s all that matters.  I’ve managed to master an 800 calorie diet, and I’m still working hard on losing about 1000 calories a day.  My water intake has gone up, my crystal light intake has gone down.  While I love the flavors, the plain water is equally as tasty for me now that I’ve found a brand of water that I’m content with.  Deer Park has the best taste out of all of the water I’ve been consuming over the course of the last few months.  I’m down another couple of pounds, I’ll get around to updating the sidebar sometime soon.

Guess I should get myself ready for bed.  I’m a few hours behind on my schedule but I’ll make up for it tomorrow I’m sure.

Everyone always tells me to start drinking more water and less sodas, teas, etc if I want to lose a few pounds. I really do need to learn a lesson in self-discipline and actually try.



being dehydrated is never a good feeling. it can actually kill you. something my drill instructors used to say was that if you are thirsty its already too late.



Good luck with the weight loss! I’ve tried many, many times to lose weight and I never managed to stick to it…..
Walking is a great way to lose weight. I bought myself a pedometer and that really helped. What I would do is set a goal of a certain amount of steps a day and then I would increase the amount the following day, and so on….
