I just got engaged so it’s time for “Operation Wedding Dress”
I’ve started keeping a food journal/work out journal (it’s called “FitBook” – show it to someone to help you stay accountable. I have to write down everything, even the number of crackers I ate. I can tell you that when you go for that piece of candy you don’t want to write it down so you don’t eat it! Try this yourself and you will catch yourself passing up that cookie or slice of cake (and you can’t lie to yourself!)
Also I am adding one day of “Fat Burning” to my work-out routine. I already run, spin, and do yoga so you too are probably thinking isn’t that burning fat? Well I now get to add one to two days a week either on its own or in conjunction with spinning, lifting, etc. of a fat burning exercise. It is an incline walk on a treadmill for 30 to 45minutes while keeping your heart rate 70% of your maximum heart rate. As you can imagine for someone who is a runner this type of exercise might bore me or you so grab a friend or a gossip magazine and add this routine to your work-out at least once a week (remember it takes about 3 weeks to form a habit so stick with it!).
