I spend 5-15 minutes a day on strength training these last 5 days in addition to my other routines. Lost over a pound a day.
Get out of town!? Seriously Time? Surely you must be watching your diet pretty carefully though, as well? And I know how often and how far you walk your dogs. Holy cow... I'm going to dust off my dumbells and get to it!
Oh PS! I've started a new thread! Poor dday, I'm sure he's getting tired of me hijacking his! Here's the link. Hugs to all...
Watching my diet? I cut out most of the junk, but last Saturday I ate a 1lb burger and tried to eat half of a sundae that is so humoungous that two people cannot eat it (4 people maybe).
So... I am generally not a diet zealot, but there is no junk food in my house, so that means I have to go someplace to get that sort of thing, and I don't eat out nearly as much as I used to do.
No, I attribute the tipping point to mixing in some crunches, leg lifts, bridges, curls, military presses, and bench presses (and you can mix this up more than I have so far with quad lifts, lat bars, bench presses, and so on--I have all of that equipment--need to dust that off!).
The walking is good. It's good for the dogs, and it's good for me (helps build bones, don't ya know? You get older, and (females especially) you have to worry about osteoperossis and such. But all of that walking was doing very little to raise my metabolism.
I read somewhere that prolonged sitting is just bad, so I have also started making a point to break up sitting every couple of hours even if it is only to get up and go do laundry or walk around the house (just now steam cleaned carpets).
I try not to sit as much.
