I've chosen to take today as a "recovery day," since I get two of those a week. My legs literally feel like jello!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I'm also going today to buy groceries. As someone who usually has a carton of Pepsi and some form of candy on her list, this is going to be a challenge. No Hagen Daas! Oh my... I do have some interesting things on there, like Celadrin and enteric fish oil. Both products were recommended by Adam. I'm going to add those to my daily vitamin and cranberry supplement. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4651551278546723958-7332912799710001297?l=anbbweightlossblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adam's Natural Bodybuildinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00361002374597324179noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4651551278546723958.post-86011821177642880102008-09-18T09:25:00.000-07:002008-09-18T12:32:10.694-07:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Welcome to my blog. I've been working with my friends at Adam's Natural Bodybuilding Site to make this journey happen. It has actually been in development for some time now. Like many of you who are reading this, I am overweight. Really overweight. I've tried diets-- and they have never worked for me. So I began communicating with Adam of ANBBS. He will be acting as my trainer and coach as we go about this life change for me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I haven't always been heavy, but I have always struggled. At one time I was a size 10! I have a heavy bone structure (don't fat people always say that?!), and tend to be very muscular. So that is my ultimate goal. To be able to wear a size 10 again. For me, that would be healthy.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Now I've got to fess up to my weight on a blog that could potentially be read by many people. So here it goes. My weight is currently 253 lbs. I will be brutally honest here. I am only 5'5'' so that puts my BMI (Body Mass Index) at 42.1, making me morbidly obese. Those aren't fun words to say in my head, much less type out onto a blog.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I will be weighing in every Sunday morning, and posting the results-- good, bad, or just plain ugly. I would love to tell you that I will be dedicated in blogging every day, but just like everyone else I am busy. But I will try to update at least once a week on my journey.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Here is my current workout, Adam actually met with me and evaluated what I could do-- then he jacked it up a notch. (He also is making me tell you that he's not a certified trainer-- just a guy who wants to help, and has the knowledge and resources to do so.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Remember this is my <em>starting workout</em>. It's to be done 5-7 days a week.</strong><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Warm up</strong>- 5 minutes on Gazelle (before you laugh it off-- it helped me to overcome a knee injury and actually is a great stretch.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Stretch</strong>- 2 sets of 10 second stretches</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Weights</strong>- all using 5 lbs. of weight</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Curls-- 2 sets of 10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Lateral Raises-- 2 sets of 10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Bench Press-- 2 sets of 10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Over head lifts-- 2 sets of 10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Cardio</strong>-- 30 minutes of walking on treadmill (right now that kicks my butt!)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">So here we go-- on a journey to <em>change and save</em> my life!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4651551278546723958-8601182117764288010?l=anbbweightlossblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adam's Natural Bodybuildinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00361002374597324179noreply@blogger.com1
