I am not so regular with updating the blog but ofcourse I am still going strong with my weight loss regime! I am walking 4 times a week atleast and doing Zumba once a week still. Eating home cooked low calorie meals and if I go out to eat I ensure I avoid fried or anything oily. Replace a side of fries with salad and of course no more sweet tea or soda just plain water... if I feel like drinking soda I go for club soda which has 0 calories. Please stay away from diet drinks as they contain too much sugar substitute and they are not good for you.
My sister is visiting us so I am excited but sad that its just for four days. We both decided to clean the apartment and to our surprise we had lots of cleaning to do. We are on day two and haven't even finished a room. Not that we have a huge apartment its a two-bedroom but then we had saved a lot of crap like papers, magazines, empty cardboard boxes, old clothes, shoes etc. etc.
Cleaning is a good work out! When you squat instead of sitting on the floor and while you are standing tuck your tummy in it feels great. Then you want to get to those corners with your vacuum stretch, stretch a little more!
Then you have to get to those little dust particles under your couch, tables etc. again go for it tuck your tummy in and stretch your arms from the waist! While you clean the ceiling corners also work on those legs keep stretching and lifting them towards your stomach.
One more tip is when you tuck your tummy in don't hold your breath but do it like you would when you are wearing a tight pair of jeans/pants (only the lower portion of your tummy). So when you hold your tummy in you must be able to have a conversation without any effort, like you normally do.
And when you have so much to clean like we do which is going to take a week you automatically work your back, arms, legs and abs with all the cleaning and lifting without any effort and you are so exhausted by the end of it that you will crash and have a good night's sleep.
Note: when you clean your house and you are on a diet and can't get take out just defrost fish/chicken and marinate it and put it in the oven. You can pair it with some steamed veggies or just roast some broccoli,peppers,onions,sweet potato,zucchini etc. in the oven as well. There you go, you have a healthy meal ready when you are done with your cleaning and you don't even have to watch it when it's cooking.
