Body fat % – weight training [ Carolyn Williams ] [ 24-Jan-09 11:58am ]

It’s lovely to read that your weight training exercise plan, is producing results. ‘ I’m more toned already and clothes are getting looser’
Clear thinking is the key then actually doing it essential. I wrote my Do it Blog on January 5th, as I self motivate and others.
The ‘doing’ word is so vital for a result, so Well done
You need to know your body fat% to begin with and then start with your ideal body fat% loss
harbouring greater muscle
We all have muscles and it’s actually working them that creates a result.
I like to Move It Move ya body ….

A good mixture of cardio cross training, together with a calorie controlled intake, will also produce good results.
We can lose weight through finding out more about our;

1. Blood type
2. Metabolic Rate

Everyone is unique in this sense. Having a dodgy knee can restrict a choice of exercise programme.
Good news is, as in your case, weight training, which helps to burn up those stores of body fat, is working for you.
Are you following a healthy eating plan to?

Enjoy and keep us posted

A 7 day Food and Fluid Diary [ Carolyn Williams ] [ 24-Jan-09 11:44am ]

Thank you Nicole and well done on your weight loss
Thank you too for sending us some of your ideas and new products for weight loss.
I would like to emphasise a healthy eating plan is vital for safe exercising. You can read more about this in Penny Hunking’s book Energise for exercise - a fellow Health and Fitness professional.
From fuelling fitness for sports performance to healthy eating and fat loss, Penny Hunking has written, researched and talked to consumers and professionals about virtually every aspect of diet, weight management and exercise.

1. Fill in a Health Questionnaire, as you rightly told us you have a thyroid condition, which can have a significant impact on your metabolic rate.
2. Check first with your Doctor, with regards to any medication you may be on, before embarking on any change of food or exercise regime first. Most Doctors today are pro active and will support sensible exercise programmes
3. Find out your body fat%
4. Find out more about your metabolic rate.

I will add a questionnaire and a 7 day food and fluid diary, to help members log their progress
Thank you for adding this information too …Spark People for keeping track of what I eat and my exercise and activity levels.

Articles : Gut Instinct Part 2

by Carolyn Williams on 17-Jan-09 10:12am

‘When we call food bad we make it even more exciting by excluding it from what we allow ourselves to eat. Or we attach conditions to when we can and can’t eat it. But these strategies don’t work. We feel so guilty that we don’t even enjoy this forbidden food when it is in our mouths’  

Gut Instinct Part 2
How you can transform your attitude to food and restore nourishment and pleasure to your life. (continued)

Eat the food your body is hungry for.
It is easy to get stressed about the wholesomeness of our foods; so many foods today are made with excessive chemicals.

Distinguish between foods that can harm you because they are made up of chemicals and flavourings and aren’t really food, and foods you designate bad – such as ice cream, puddings, chips – because they are highly calorific or associated with treats. We can be tempted to call categories of foods bad as a way of putting them off limits, when what is really going on is that we don’t know how to handle them. When we call food bad we make it even more exciting by excluding it from what we allow ourselves to eat. Or we attach conditions to when we can and can’t eat it. But these strategies don’t work. We feel so guilty that we don’t even enjoy this forbidden food when it is in our mouths.
Denying yourself particular foods is a recipe for bingeing.
To find out what you are hungry for, imagine yourself eating the food you want. It might be the food you don’t usually let yourself have. Take a minute to taste it, smell it, to imagine it in your mouth. If you’re still hungry for it, eat it. See how it tastes and whether you enjoy it as you hoped you would. If you find you no longer want that food, imagine tasting, smelling
something else. If it is as wonderful as you imagine it to be treat it as such.
Let it be worthy of your attention, not something to sneak in your mouth because you aren’t meant to be having it.

Find out why you eat when you aren’t hungry
If you are lonely and you eat, you will have given yourself a reason why you are lonely – ‘I’m too fat and therefore I am lonely’ You wont have addressed your loneliness; rather you will have taken a step away from solving it. You will have taken yourself a step a way from solving it. You will have given yourself without meaning to: a food problem.
If you eat when you need to cry, your tears will always be there, waiting to be shed. If you eat when you’re angry, you’re swallowing a feeling that needs to come out. Food cannot satisfy other hungers. It can quieten them temporarily, but when you have finished eating they are still there.

So come on smell the grapes, the honey

And enjoy the tastes and life! More on my International Wellbeing Lifestyle Events…coming next..
