I invited Sexy Jessie to post some of her diet tips on our blog. Here she is now!!!!
....... Well, while we are waiting for her, here are some ideas/tips I've heard or learned:
1) Fill up at breakfast! This should be a fairly big meal but your dinner should be light.
2) Water Water everywhere! We should be drinking lots of water. Anything else should be slim to none with the second most common drink being low fat or fat free milk.
3) exercise most days (I always aim for 6 days; I think a minimum of 3 and a max of 6 is good.)
4) Varying my workouts seemed to bring in the most weight loss; I lost quite a bit before I got pregnant with Violet and I was doing a fair amount of biking, jogging, kickboxing/or tae bo and dance aerobics. Like you mentioned Susie, the 'muscle confusion' thing might have been what helped here.
5) Exercise first thing!! This has not been my strong point the last 18 months or so but it helped a lot after Violet was born....or at least exercising at the same time - making it the routine.
Theres my 5 cents. :)
So I just got one of the Insanity DVD's from the library (for a week) and I believe it said power cardio and strength, er somethin' like that. We'll see how it goes...I think I'm gonna do some tonight at the church building if no one else comes. Or if they're up to it. Not sure if my knees are up to it. They've been pretty sore. I've also got an Atkins DVD and Manual that I'm checking out. Jess has me jealous of her weight loss!!!
