weight loss
Apr 13, 2008 | 9:39AM

I have been wanting to drop some pounds for a bit now.  Would like to shed about 50 but 10 will do for a good start.  I need to loss some weight to stop the medical issues from starting.  I have a family history of things starting from being heavy.  If I can loss the pounds maybe I wont get some of the same issues my family has had.

I have started by doing portion control.  I am trying to stay at or under 1800 calories.  Drink lots of water, and excersise atleast 4 times a week at atleast 30 minutes, longer if I can.  I try to do more if I get the chance, but I do have 2 kids, so I do as much as I can.  

Here is to all of you trying to drop some pounds.  Good luck in your hard work.  Any questions or any support, just ask.  I will help as much as possible.  Lets go weight loss. 

WEEK 1---

Monday:  Ok today sucked.  I did my work out and 35 minutes into it my calves tightened and then just started to cramp.  So I got some water and stretched so I could try to go on, and nope didnt happen.  They hurt so bad it was rediculous.  I tried again later in the day to no prevail.  So I decided to be happy with what I was able to do in the morning.  I was soo angry.  So tomorrow I will be drinking lots more water before I excersise to see if that was the issue or was I just not stretched enough before or what.  Will try again.

Tuesday:  Yeah worked out today.  Did some aerobics, light ones.  Then walked and pushed stroller for a mile to get the girl from school and walked the mile to the gas station, so she could have some candy, and a mile and a half back.  YEAH!!!!!  Feels good.  Tomorrow is my day off.  YEAH!!!  LOL  YAA excersise!!

Thursday:  Did kickboxing for cardio today for about 25 minutes.  Then walked to pick up the girl from school.  Got to push the stroller for 2 miles.  Yeahhhhh!!!!  It is sooo beautiful outside, we might go for another walk.  If nothing else, I will be outside running with the kids.

Friday: Kickboxing and resistance training.  Ouch I'm sore, but in a good way.  Then did my good deed....gave blood today.  My girls school had a blood drive.  Yeahhh!!!!! So I get to have extra sugar today!!!! WOOOO HOOOOO!!

Saturday:  Feeling funny from giving blood.  Nothing bad, just off.  Will take today off.

Sunday:  Still a bit off.  Will start back up on Monday.

I understand about trying to fit exercise in around the kids, I have three of them, and most days am too tired from chasing them to do any exercise. This is a wonderful idea, and I will be here for you when you need to cry, or laugh, or jump up and down from the scale moving down. Good luck Nettie, and I will check in with you often.

Hello Nettie,
Sorry to hear about the cramps, I get them 2 they are what I call charlie horses, and it feels like someone is ripping the muscle right off your legs. This is what I do to prevent them I stretch before my work out and after... under the doctors advice muscle cramps are often caused by something the body is lacking..my doctor told me the body is lacking potassium and calcium and that I am to eat 2 banana's a day and eat 3 tums a day. (tums with calcium) This has worked well in the past as I need to start doing it again because the cramps are starting to come back:(

You're off to a great start Nettie, I would hold off on the exercise today if you can, when you first start out you shouldn't over do it or you'll always be in pain and give up all together. I'm here if you need me.

Hugs, Liz

Yes Nettie, giving blood will take a lot out of you so resting today is a good idea. Take care.....
