Of all the different approaches that I researched to help continue and maintain my weight loss (I'm still working on it after all), I was able to see a lot of stuff that was useless, some that was dangerous, other that was odd, and very little that made any sense. One thing that I have learned is that to truly take weight off is a combination of work and fortitude. Don't let anyone tell you that properly losing weight includes the words "in a just a few easy steps"; "it's that quick and you don't have to sweat to lose" - among other things. You don't look back and say, "I did this right from my couch." Losing weight is a rather hard combination of denying yourself, defying the odds, and defeating any urge you might have to make yourself unhealthy.
To go back to the beginning of this entry, I offer the most classic way to lose weight. It is walking. We all do it. Yet, it is not something we have a tendency to do unless it is almost completely necessary. I didn't start out at three miles a day. I actually started out by using the vitamin supplement with the weight loss stuff to help lessen my intake. It took me from October until June to even lose enough weight to begin to work out. I then began to take the stairs more often than the elevator. In June, I purchased a thirty pound hand weight system to help tone as I lose. I followed with a series of exercises that we used to do in PE when I was in school. The last layer to add was the walking. More on that tomorrow.
I have decided to slack up on the pictures for right now. Too many bad memories and not enough pictures. Also, I wasn't too keen on pictures at the time. Remember, there is a picture coming on October 30.
