The Tipping Point ...

So it's Friday , finally Friday..... Well, my week has been pretty good working out so far, I'm definitely back in the groove of things.  I am already feeling better, and can feel the clothes feeling slightly (and i stress "slightly") looser, and overall feel much better.  The past few P90X workouts have been good, never thought I would ever do Yoga for 90 minutes , but it was good.  I wasn't able to do all of the moves, but just tried everything- and pushed myself to do the ones I could do as well as I could . This morning was the back and legs workout, and it was great also - probably 8 different variations of squats and lunges, and I did more pull-ups (assisted, but pull-ups, dammit!) than I have ever done .. So looking forward to the Karate session tomorrow morning.

Hope your workouts are going as well as mine, I have been eating fairly well, I must admit I did have a few donuts earlier in the week (have to entertain your friends right? Can't have them eat all the Krispy-Kremes, right?) 


But aside from that , been pretty good.  If I have something sweet, its in moderation - and definitely no fried foods.  If you are serious about losing weight you have to understand that "dieting" usually doesn't work -- it has to be a lifestyle change. You don't have to cut out the terrible stuff completely, but you have to seriously moderate .... cutting out just coca-Cola, but still drinking Sprite ain't gon' cut it!! maybe reduce your intake from 12 cans a week to 6, then 4, then ... you get the point. I also try to think that if its fried, stay away from it --- this includes -- fried chicken (duh) , french fires, donuts, bagels (can have in moderation), potato chips 
(Lay's makes fairly good Baked alternatives) 





 etc... One thing I have tried is making Stir-Fry -- pan-searing is way better than deep frying , and it's a great way to mix your veggies and protein



Well hope this was helpful, enjoy the clip and have a great weekend...
