Day 64

Hello all:

Two inches to go . .

I'm down to 32 inches which is pretty darn good from 35 ½. But man, is it going slowly. I guess it's time to step up the exercise again (sigh) and lower the food intake. I tell you that working full-time, tutoring and taking a class really does save you money but makes you more stressed. Let me know how you are doing and if you need me to measure you.

Speaking of stress

Stress can make you fat. I've been trying to, depending on what time I get home, do some form of yoga or exercise. Like tonight I won't get home until 10 but I'll at least do 10 minutes of stretching and I usually walk home. Also, I try to take at least a 10 minute walk at lunch every day. I've been walking a lot and very briskly (the 15 degree weather at night is a great motivator.)
Also, I'm on Ambien for the week. What a difference an entire week of 7 hours+ sleep makes. Although the dreams, I'm having, are wicked weird. I'm taking myself off on Friday. I've never done a prescribed sleeping med before and it does seem to really help my mood and concentration.

Exercise TV is back!

My favorite exercise program with Violet Zaki is back on my on demand. In the meantime, I'm going through my old DVDS. CardioSculpt (which markets for about $10) is well worth it as well as the Biggest Loser which I actually customized to suit my workout routine. BL is good for both men and women. I don't know why the exercise industry doesn't really make DVDs for men's needs. I still have my Bollywood dance workout DVD to try. I'll let you know if it sucks.
