215 reminds me I have to go for today's walk, despite little sleep. Getting
more exercise usually helps one to sleep better.

I won't be going to be gym today, but I'm doing house cleaning, so
that's going to be my work out for today, yesterday was a wash since I
worked until I went to an event, so it's been since Monday. I'm a
little heavier than I was a few weeks ago, but it's currently do to a
little extra water weight that is my monthly right as a member of the
female gender, as well as an increase in muscle.

Elliptical for about 45 to 60 minutes. Weights every other day both
upper body and lower body. Right now I'm doing one set each of 12
reps. From next week, I'm going to work on upper and lower on
different days with 3 sets for each exercise

Stick with that regimen, watch what you eat, and you'll soon be svelte
with a capital S.

It's been a while since I've posted. Mostly because I haven't been
keeping up. I looked at FitDay yesterday, I haven't updated for over a
fortnight. I haven't been keeping to the diet strictly, and the
exercise routine is sporadic at best. I blame my personal life, and
the fact that I wasn't in town for a couple of weekends.
The bad news is I haven't lost any extra weight since the last report.
The good news is, despite the eating out and such, I haven't gained
any of the weight back. And that's a huge plus point.
In desperation, I turned to the Atkins Diet. At least I looked at it.
It's pretty tempting, lots of meat, and I like meat, lots of cheese,
and I love cheese. It seemed like the easiest thing to do. Till I
looked at what I could not eat. I looked at the recipebook on
http://www.atkins.com, they have a few indian recipes like the chicken
curry, and the cauliflower. All very well, but you're not supposed to
eat bread or rice. Now how is one supposed to have chicken curry
without rice or bread? Totally against what I've been brought up on.
The vegetarian recipes looked like too much trouble. And the deciding
factor to not go on the diet was that not everyone loses that much
weight the first couple of weeks, everyone has a different resistance
level. Ok, I'm not trying something that doesn't guarantee results.
This morning on the radio they were talking to Dr Do-Nothing, or
something like that. He advocates high protein and high natural fat
and low carbs, which is pretty close to the Atkins diet. Though I'm
not going to follow that, one thing he did mention was for maximum
weight-loss during exercise, not to have any carbs at least an hor
before and an hour after your exercise. Sort of ties in to the whole
Atkins thing which advocates no carbs so fat would be burnt instead.
Must try.

Eating too much protein can damage your liver and kidneys when you break down
the protein for energy. Atkins diet may produce quick weight loss but it is
not healthy. You are not supposed to exercise a lot for an hour after eating
so that your stomach will have time to operate without the blood being drawn
away to the muscles. They taught us at summer camp, in swimming class, never
to go in the water within an hour of eating, but the lifesaving class had no
other time to meet so we always met right after lunch.
Don't worry about a temporary standstill as long as you do not backslide.
You are probably still converting fat to muscle. I wish I had fat to convert
to muscle. I seem to be stuck at 106 with no taste buds except for sour.

Sapna, sounds like you may have hit a platue (I misspelled that). If
you read the whole Atkins Diet book, you start out going with a large
amount of fat and protein, but supposedly this is supposed to help get
the "carb addiction" within control. After a couple of months or so,
you should introduce more veggies and the like in, but like all diets,
it is about portion and consumption control.

jiffer, I did read most of what they had to say on the site. I know
you can introduce carbs into your diet in small amounts after the
first two weeks. Just that it's not for me.
I'm hoping it's not a plateau. I do know that I haven't been keeping
up. The exercise is sporadic at best right now, and I haven't been
that careful about my diet. I am trying to get back on track, and I
think I overdid the elliptical at the gym yesterday - my legs are
sore :( I think I'll concentrate on upper-body today and give the legs
a rest.
I need to get in the habit of going in the mornings. It's easier to
skip the gym in the evenings, especially with the shorter days :(

72 hours is 3 days. I thought it was ok to work out muscle areas every
other day. Besides, my muscles are sore from the damn elliptical. I
think the resistance was a little higher than I'm used to.

Every other day is what I was told (by my personal trainer) as well.

Yeah, but pro weight trainers tend to use the 'roids, too.
