Lessons & Planning

While on vacation I read Jim Karas book, The 7-day Energy Surge, and started to read Jillian Michaels, Master your Metabolism.

I recommend both to you. The first one is not a weight loss book. Indeed it tries to boost your energy combining the renovation of many areas of our life. It's very interesting and very well written. I liked it very much.

I'll talk about Jillian Michael's book when I'll finished it.

Well, I've learned with Jim's book many things, that I'll try to apply in my daily life.
For instance, how to breathe right, adapting music styles to daily activities, sleep well to maximise energy, mind-set techniques, what to eat after working out, and so on.


Planning

I'll keep my previous plan, but I'll add some rules:

• Eat only one portion of bread a day;
• Eat yoghurt or dried fruits after working out;
• Snacks consisting of fruit or yoghurt;
• Eat one cup of soup a day (~ 200 ml);
• Eat one meal of fish a day;

So... let's get back on track!!

Return from "time-off"

Hey!

I'm back to work, to my routine, and to my nutritional and fitness plans.

The scale news are not good. In the last four weeks, I've gained 6 pounds.

I know that in my two weeks of work, I've stepped over all limits I've had imposed to me, and this result is reflecting those errors. In my two week vacations, I tried to maintain my weight, by working out and eating more/less well. But, you know, since I've had many social lunches/dinners it was very difficult.

Today, I'm with 149 pounds.

Now, I'm prepared to get back on track, and lose my last 25 pounds!
