Open Question: step up weight loss for temporary or permanent results?
Saturday, October 31st, 2009I walk to and from work usually although it’s been raining here a lot so I haven’t been walking much. it’s almost exactly one mile between work and my house. then i’m on my feet working hard for about 5-7 hours. later when it gets dark i often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. aside from that i have classes two days a week from about noon to about 8 at night and do a fair amount of walking there including lots of steps. i’ve been watching what i eat and how often i eat. i’ve inherited my mother’s hypoglycemia so i have to eat something every once in a while anyway. therefore i just eat about 5 meals a day. i drink a lot of water. the place where i work is always very dusty and i get thirsty very often while i work. we have a big water filter thing so i usually fill my water bottle about 4 times while i’m there. the water bottle is a vitamin water bottle that i’ve been washing and using over and over. i don’t really drink vitamin water. i’m always busy so walking is really all i have time for. when i’m not busy i’m totally wiped out and just want to chill. my favorite thing to do on a day when i don’t have to be at work and don’t have much school work though is to go hike the nearby trails. there are also trails near the college that i drag my friend to and we eat our dinner there on our break. i’ve been doing this for a while, but i have inherited the same situation as my biological father (or so i’ve been told) and would have to be doing constant weight training, situps, and strict dieting ALL the time like he did in order to lose the weight i want to lose which is about 20 lbs. I have a very important trip in 2 months. i want it gone by then. i can decrease the cost of my trip if i borrow some snow gear from a friend who for some reason thinks i’m the same size as she is. i’m looking for pills that will work or cleansing systems that won’t kill me. i don’t care if i start to gain the weight back afterwards. i’m really psyched about this trip and want to look my best…and pay as little as possible. any help will be greatly appreciated- thanks!
