Finally Got My Bender Ball

Well, for those of you who have been following my progress, what can I say? I started to drink water to reduce consumption of calories and help burn more calories. I stopped eating between meals, and I finally got my Bender Ball after weeks of talking about it. As you know I used to force myself to do crunches, and it killed my back. I admit, I didn’t do my crunches regularly, and my back hurt so much and I got so depressed, that I started to actually eat more! My wife almost killed me, but my doctor said she needn’t bother since I was killing myself. Boy was I in a bad state.

The Bender Ball arrived!

My exercise routine is about to take off! I have been drinking water like crazy, and that means that I am consuming less calories. (I am taking a bit of strain with this water thing, I would enjoy some flavors now and again, and water the whole day isn't the best, but more about that another time. See my previous post about that.)

I ordered the Bender Ball from Savvier, and it arrived a day or two ago. The good news is that it offers a full program for fitness and weight loss. That's a good thing. It comes with literature and DVDs to teach you all you need to know. I am starting it (already done some exercises) and we will see what happens.

I am drinking calories by the hundred!

I did it! I found one of the problems with my diet!
I was drinking a juice that I mix with water, thinking all was good with it. But it wasn't! It was full of calories, and I might as well have been eating chocolates or chocolate yoghurts that are fattening!

So that is it! I am either finding a different drink, or going to water... what a pain! But to lose weight it is worth it...

As for my exercise routine, I have ordered the Bender Ball... more about that in my next post.

Attempting to lose weight...

I have been trying to lose weight for ages. I am dieting and exercising, but it is taking a long time, longer than expected. I don't know what the issue is - so I asked the person who knows everything, my wife!

She told me two things:
1. To look at everything that I am eating and make sure that I am not unknowingly eating things that are full of calories, and,
2. To look at new exercise techniques.

So - that is my plan. I will report back after I do these two things.
