I’m Tired of Reading About No Calories Needed’s Diet!
April 11th, 2008. Filed under: Finance & Fitness Fridays.I’m so tired of reading about it and not doing anything about it. I’m going to weigh in with him on Monday and start doing something about my level of fitness. I’ve lost 62 pounds and am now at a standstill. It’s time to get with the program again. It’s spring and outdoor walking is still pleasant here, especially in the morning and evening. It’s warm enough to jump in the pool to do my laps and aquatic exercises. I was diagnosed as a diabetic a year ago and exercise is a medication for people with diabetes. It’s time to take my medicine. No Calories Needed has been following the 4 Rules as set forth by Paul McKenna. When you check out No Calories Needed, go to his March archives and start reading with his March 17th post to get in on the beginning of his discovery of the 4 Rules.
Reading about his progress has been interesting. The 4 Rules were very effective for him when he was sticking with them. He’s done what we all do – make excuses to cheat. He has a busy life and has a baby due soon. He actually thinks he will be less busy when the baby arrives. (We all know that both father and mother are busier after the blessed event.) The main thing is he is determined to get back with the program. I am, too. I’ll be going to my doctor’s appointment shortly and will discuss more changes in my lifestyle in order to increase my level of health, wealth and energy. I just threw that in about wealth because the phrase sounded good, but it really will increase my wealth if I’m not spending on junk food and health care from the resulting health problems of leading a poor lifestyle.
What are you doing to decrease your waistline and increase your level of well being and energy?

I’ve been consistently working out 5- 7 days a week and most recently added more fruits and veggies to my diet, but I’m not losing weight. If I do it’s just a pound or two and then I gain it right back. I’m at the age where losing weight is becoming harder, so I upped the intensity of my workouts. Now I need to take a better look at what I’m consuming, though when I observed lent and cut out breads and sugar from my diet I still didn’t lose anything. I’m at the point where I’m getting really discouraged, but I’m still exercising regularly. I’m going to check out that link now!

Just read the four rules and it sounds a lot like the weigh down workshop that I did years ago and got to my lowest. It’s very hard emotionally to do this, but it’s something I need to get back to doing. Thanks for pointing me in this direction.

Gina,
I’m also at an age where weight loss is more difficult. I’ve been trying to be more observant about my lifestyle, in particular, eating habits, and have come to the conclusion that in addition to increasing the amount of body movement, I also need to be more conscious about what I’m eating instead of trying to multitask during some of my meals.

I’m glad you like my blog, but I don’t advocate using any kind of diet pills to lose weight. What one needs is to focus on lifestyle changes.
