Side Effects Week 1

I need to do a you tube about my whole research.
To sum it all up the goal is to workout more than 3 days a week because it is good for our health not to lose weight.  We want to see what happens if you do some kind of workout.  Can you find something fun to do?  Monday I was in Florida and went for a walk.  I could get use to that warm weather really fast.  Tues I was on my way back thinking about how I can put this all together.  I had many hours in the airport.  Wed it was back to the gym.  Planet fitness is my now gym of choice.  Is it the best gym?  I would not say that but it is a low cost gym that provides what I am looking for.  I did belong to x-perence which I did like and liked their classes.  When we stop going to the gym we have to look for the reason of why we are no longer going.  I think the reason I changed was because I had friends that changed.  I do miss the body pump class.  I found a pc. of equipment I now enjoy

 I got on the one that the arms that move but then the TV sound thing didn't work on the tv in front of me.  I did 10 min but I just had to move because I hate when you can't see the TV.  I then had to do 30 Min. after I moved.












I Just couldn't stop at the 20 min. on the second machine because it would look like I was a slacker when I posted this.

Thurs  was just to clod outside so I had to workout at home.

Let's talk about some of the food we need to eat to maintain a healthy body.  We are going to stop depriving ourselves of nutrition.  I do want to see what the side effect of cutting cheese and sugar.  I should really say sugar and then cheese.
When we are looking at these kinds of changes do we start lying to ourselves and say cheese is bad but goat cheese is ok.  If we are trying to test inflammation on the body because of cheese then cheese is cheese.  If we are testing cutting back on cheese then we need to set limits.  The cheese I am talking about would be on a salad.  It is a crumble 1 oz is 80 calories.  The container holds 3.5 servings and half the container would be about 140 calories.  I am willing to spend 140 calories on this for my salad.  It was really good

 This was Wed. salad.  I can eat a bid salad every day

 Thursday I got up and put some chili on the stove.  It takes some planning at first but I think once I get going on it I should be OK.  This does free up time at the end of the day around dinner time.  Yes I like pickles in my chili.

I will say that when I came home from Florida I started back into old habits the first day till I started to think how these choices will help my research.  It only confirms that we all want change but when we are asked to do our part we step back and take a seat.  It is hard work to make change happen.  We need to stop thinking that the word deprived means a lack of sweets and sugar in our diet.  What we really need to think of is that we are nutrition deprived and to stop lying to ourselves that we can live on sugar and crap so called food items.

We have to keep focused on the quest we are on.  Can we eat healthy and workout for a year and what is the side effect?   We are not looking at we want to lost 20 pounds and that if we don't lose it we will become a form of depressed or we will put so much pressure on ourselves that we go into binges.
Friday  Another good day.  I got to the gym tonight.  Lunch was great

 And so was the trip to the gym.  30 min. isn't a long time.  I am almost enjoying it.  I do miss group classes but I just have to report on the side effects of what happens if you go to the gym or work out 3-5 days a week.  As far as that little salad for lunch I love it.  The goat cheese that I tried is a stronger tasting cheese.  A form of a feta.

 I know these are not raw but it is what I had in the house so I had some.  I did make sure I limited the amount that I ate.  This is a high nutrition high calorie food.

 I did get a workout in.  This is both a free and a pay for site.  I signed up for a challenge that already started.  The challenge is linked to this site. 

 I scheduled a few workouts so I don't have to look for them in the morning.  I made sure I mixed up the workout and tossed in 1 yoga.

 Great dinner.  I did have pineapple and peanut butter with my coffee in the morning.  It is kind of a relaxing kind of a day.  I need to work on my class but I am happy I got that workout in.

 I got a happy planner to try to keep tract of everything for this year of research.  I am kind of tracking the food I am eating but not being tied down without all the exacts.  Food is 1 of 4 food groups 1. low nutrition/low calorie 2. high nutrition/low calorie. 3. high nutrition/high calorie 4. low nutrition/high calorie.

I got some cool little stamps so I could play with my planner.  I have some recap stamps.
  This is the end of week 1.  I will do a full recap at the end of the month.
