I haven't posted on here in a while and I was able to lose about 20-30 lbs using the
The Belly Fat Cure book by Jorge Cruise. It talks about how you can lose 20-30lbs in a month by changing the amount of carbs and sugar you take in. I did it before and it worked for me. I started to slack off of it and add weight lifting to my regimen. The weight training added muscle and weight. I've gained a little back because of slacking off of my eating habits. So I will now beging the low-carb, low sugar program again. I want to lose another 30lbs and I believe I will be right where I should be. I will need to take another picture of myself to really see where I am now. I currently weigh 258lbs and I want to get down to 230. The picture will really tell me where I am because pictures don't lie.
Also, I have been working out 5 days a week pretty regularly until my knees and elbow starting hurting really bad. It hurt to walk up and down the steps. It also hurt to flex my muscles in my right arm..because of the pain in the elbow. So I slowed I took a couple of weeks off to recuperate and I have been taking Glucosamine-7 from Nutrilite. It has helped the pain in my knees, so it doesn't hurt as much to walk up and down stairs. I still have a pretty sharp pain near my elbow..so I am taking it easy with the weights. I am going to stick mostly to low-impact cardio like the elliptical machine. I won't be doing any major running because of my knees. I just wanted to note this day and mark the beginning of the 2nd time around using this program. The program calls for
120g carbs and
15g sugar per day. The first day I went off program because of two items on my menu. Barbecue sauce for my ribs and chinese gravy for my egg foo young.
