Those last 2 lbs

Submitted by Norm on Tue, 01/16/2007 - 11:46am.

So, I've been dieting lately. I'm lighter, but don't feel lighter. Stronger, and faster, but still not as much of either as I'd like.

As of this last week I officially fit into the height/weight requirement for the WSP. I'd really like to cushion this though with 2 or 3 lbs. The trouble being that I've seem to hit a plateau.

I've been running, but the recent weather has made running miserable, so tonight I'm trying a treadmill, which is miserable also, but the lesser of evils.

With all of that in mind, does anyone have suggestions on losing a couple of pounds?

Terrible! Norm, don't listen to them. Come to the Y and do Body Pump with me.

a million responses went through my head, I'll leave it at that.

Yeah, my liver hurt when I read Rob's response.

I'll go, but if the girls all laugh at me I'm never coming back :(

I usually go to the noon class, and when I started it was full of white-haired retirees, and they were all loading up with these big, heavy weights, and there I was with my little 1 kg weights, struggling along, and no one laughed. I am going today at noon! Wanna come? Or would an evening class suit your schedule better? Message me!

More Compassionate Acts

Submitted by Robert Whitlock on Wed, 01/17/2007 - 9:48am.

In order to lose those additional pounds, I suggest:

taking part in random acts of compassion.
sending out warm vibrations and positive regards to those you encounter throughout the day.

Jogging is great too though, my jogging advice: if it hurts, or is too painful, try slowing down - but stick with it.

don't drive (if you do)

bike, all the time, every where-- get good at it, try Capital Peak this way: bike, there and back (for starters) then, try a nice ride up to the top and enjoy your downhill-- you will have earned it

UPDATE

Between one butt-aching session of aerobic kickboxing, and mixing up my workout I'm officially 5 lbs lighter than I was when I first started this thread. Thanks for the suggestions.
