I started my weight reduction program today. I know, I know....but this is different and sensible. The basic idea is to exercise 3 times a week with high intensity to build or rebuild muscle mass that requires calories to burn while at the same time adjusting and controlling a diet low in fat but high in nutrients, so the fat calories will be the ones burned to sustain the new muscle. The diet involves eating 5 or 6 times a day to keep the body fueled. It is an approach that makes sense to me although I must admit I have difficulty eating so frequently.
I quit smoking 18 months ago and I have gained some weight. I want it gone so I will give this program my utmost. The relatively short exercise program appeals especially because I don't have time to go to a gym. These exercises can be done at home although a gym would be preferable....we'll see how it goes.
Had a wonderful day yesterday cooking and cleaning. I made a pot of curried lentil soup.....awesome.
