Now that is just a few times but I will continue a couple of times a week and see what happens. Haven't passed out yet!

In my mind's eye- I could see people passing out near their houses in the AM all over the US. :0<br /><br />Much of my site traffic is from Medifast/Take Shape for Life where you have to eat 30 minutes upon awakening or it's major pass out zone. <br /><br />Experimenting is good.

The belly fat on my pear shaped body was also the last to go, and something I'll have to deal with as I age,so it feels good to find some things that work early on in the process.

I had the most reduction in belly fat getting off grains and then fine tuning my diet after that. Pumpkin, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes all give me belly bloat, so they are off the template.<br /><br />Glad to see you back blogging a little, Caron.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-44181304975303964122013-06-16T08:50:36.376-07:002013-06-16T08:50:36.376-07:00Ahh Mrs Swan- sleep is the priority.

If instructor is there, I am there. <br /><br />And what I do on the other days, home based exercise, is I do not eat, until it is done. HIGHLY effective because I want my breakfast. And I do not get a shower/dressed until it is done. Also effective. <br /><br />Belly fat (for all of us apples) is the last to go, but it will go. I had a trainer tell me that very early on in my process. I believed her. I did it. It takes dedication. But I can't tell you how glad I am every day.<br /><br />Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-38957618410820529322013-06-16T05:49:30.711-07:002013-06-16T05:49:30.711-07:00I've been walking more too.

It helps me to have an appetite, and it kick starts the metabolism. I have a sedentary computer job and I try to get up and move around also through the day . All of my classes and gym workouts are in the evening. I want to walk more mornings--it's cooler, quieter, less busy. I just can't always make myself ge4t up early enough.

I'm just struggling to see how that is going to fit into my schedule (and budget) right now. So I keep toying with just getting over my excuses (a major one being HEAT) about walking. ;-) And my dog would be SO SO happy if I opted for walking again. ;-D Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16021424631132894016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-83055341699572964612013-06-15T15:32:45.911-07:002013-06-15T15:32:45.911-07:00I too agree with Sandra as I really like how you s...I too agree with Sandra as I really like how you set out What works and What doesn't work for you, it must help to stay focused.Talking of which your camera shots are well focused, I really like your pictures, I think the light was very good when these two were taken?<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-79966797603956780142013-06-15T13:19:44.214-07:002013-06-15T13:19:44.214-07:00That's such an interesting point you make abou...That's such an interesting point you make about walking fasted Karen. I saw a personal trainer for a very short time last year and she challenged me to simply walk half an hour before breakfast at least three times a week and watch my waist get smaller. I have to say that I really enjoy reading your analysis on what works and what doesn't - you write very well. Thank you for sharing!
