I couldn't have asked for a better day.
I also want to thank all of you who sent cards, e-mail, and other considerations. It was very special and I appreciate you deeply.
This morning, back to the regularly scheduled program. I started the day with a nice, large glass of juice. I've enjoyed having smaller, lighter meals because it actually shrinks my appetite and when I do have fun (like going out for my birthday) I couldn't overeat if I wanted to!
I'm going to use my own online training software to develop an endurance routine, to see where that will carry me.
Let's go ahead and set that up.
First, it asks me the type of workout. I want to do both cardio and strength training. Here is a sample screen it presents me with:
Next, it asks how often I train. I have not been consistent at all since the move, so I'm going to go ahead and admit that I've "trained sporadically" ...
One the next screen, it wants to assess my strength, and uses push-ups as a method to "guess." It will adjust to be more specific later. I can probably do over 30 push-ups, but again, since I've trained sporadically, I want to start at a decent level for myself, so I'll choose the 16 - 30 range.
Now it would like to understand my cardiovascular ability, and asks me what I run a mile in. Again, I could probably top 6 minutes for a mile, but I'll choose 8 - 6 for now.
What is my primary goal? Let's face it. I've gotten soft, so I wish to focus on fat burn. Other options include weight loss, speed and power, endurance, and combinations of the above.
Now it wants to know my preferred cardio. I like to run, so I'll choose that one. Other options include bike, swim, row, cardio machine, combinations, and others (i.e. your own equipment).
Then it asks me how often would I like to strength train? Hmmm. I'm actually not doing as much resistance for this training program, but I want to do bodyweight, so I can get away with more volume. I'll pick 3 days out of the week.
Now it wants to know the type of workout I'd like for my strength training. I want to do just body weight workouts, so that's what I choose instead of free weights, machines, or a combination.
Then it's even kind enough to ask me what date I'd like to begin with! I'll choose Monday.
And that's it! It's scheduled my workouts. I start out with a few easy runs and some light body weight work that includes push-ups, pull-ups, calf raises on steps and lunges. It also gave me a "fat burn split session" where ... "After a thorough warm up with light activity and stretching, start a split cardio session of 2 x 10 mins and 1 x 5 mins. For the first 10 mins aim to work at 65% of your Heart Rate Maximum (HRM). For the next 10 mins aim to work at 75% of your HRM. For the last 5 mins aim to work at 80% of your HRM. Don't rest in between periods and workout continuously for the 25 min session. Stretch and warm down thoroughly after your workout."
Of course, I don't have to split hairs about the heart rate, I can use perceived intensity levels as well. I'm excited to begin my program next week!

Weight loss and healthy living definitely is not just about the workout routine or the nutrition. this article shares some points that I agree with 100% ... including faith, acceptance, patience, ability, preparation, attitude, habit, and healing. Definitely a keeper.
As writers across the nation struggle to capture the next "big diet trend," a baker in Portland offers us a diet book based on the Da Vinci code. He claims it is based on "universal patterns," which I would agree if marketing is one of them. With a release date of April 2006, I wonder if the Da Vinci fever will still be in full swing?
If you're concerned about the cost of living healthy, consider a career change. Both Microsoft and Starbucks will compensate their employees for weight loss programs if they meet certain criteria.
The British Columbia Medical Association says that family lifestyle change, not dieting is the key to weight loss for children.
Today the World Health Organization warns of increase in obesity problem. The problem? 1 billion overweight people today will become 1.5 billion by 2015. Fortunately, this article claims to have the cure.
Don't forget, today is the last day to pre-order your copy of the 10 Fat Mistakes CD without paying any shipping or handling.
Blessed be,
