Today’s Progress

I promise, no more whining! The scale isn’t really moving but I’m so happy anyway! Normally during this time, my weight would creep up. I haven’t been counting calories or get enough with exercise this week. I realized it’s ok for me not trying to lose weight every week. Just trying to maintain my weight during my weakest time is enough. After reading anti-aging straight talk, I want more than just losing weight. I want my health to be topnotch! The free materials that’s included in the report is very valuable to me. I’m going to enjoy eating more salads, nuts, and healthy fat. I’ll lose weight and look younger, eh? ;;) I’m already doing healthy stuff, but different from now on is that I’m going to enjoy it more. When I’ve a chance I’ll post pictures of what I eat during one day.

Steve suggests apple cider vinegar so I’m giving it a second try. I mix 1 teaspoon in a glass of water and drink it in the morning, then eating 30 minutes later. I don’t know if it works or not, maybe I need to put in 2-3 teaspoon for weight loss to happen. One thing I noticed, it’s that I didn’t gain weight this week! My theory is that apple cider vinegar helps to digest food better and as result stimulate the bowel movement. I think there is a link between weight loss and regular bowel movement! What do you think is normal bowel movement? There seems to be no right answer, from 3 times a day to 3 times a week. I think at least once a day is ideal. Talking about digestive system, here’s a video showing the stages of digestion and the important of saliva. We can never be too much educated so do watch it.

I want to video blogging some day, but I don’t have a clue. I know I can google, but if you can share information with me it would be much appreciated. My mom has a JVC digital camcorder (hard drive version).

Spread the word!

    You know, too many people think that weight loss by itself will “make” them happy. I’m into being happy NOW, myself! So good for you to not let a lack of scale progress get ya down!

    Nope, we don’t have to lose every week. Yes, it would be nice, but not everyone’s bodies like to do that. I go in fits and starts. As long as I’m making some sort of progress towards my end goals, I’m good. Progress isn’t always physical either… mental progress is just as important! I’m resting from exercise without guilt this week, gotta love it!

    On the bowel movement thing… I think it’s different strokes for different folks. Some days I have several, some days one. Or none. I don’t worry about it. I get plenty of fiber and water and it all takes care of itself in the fullness of time!

    I’ve tried that apple cider vinegar thing. I don’t know if it helps to lose weight, but I definitely feel better when I do it at least once a day… My body just feels happier with me, like when I eat well. As far as BMs, I was always told once a day, but I think probably several times a week is good as long as you aren’t feeling gross or cramped.
