Starting to make sense

Ok, so for the past couple of days I've been reading The Hormone Diet. What Natasha Turner ND is saying in the book makes a lot of sense. I started having the fatigue, bloating, hair loss, trouble losing weight and stomach fat as soon as I hit 40. My hormones are completely out of whack. Now I just have to narrow down exactly what hormones are out of whack and the right regime to follow. From what I'm reading so far I have too much insulin, estrogen and cortisol. The next section I will be reading is the start of the 3 step program. Can't wait to get started!

Here we go!

Just got my copy of The Hormone Diet in the mail. Now I have to find time to read it. I'm hoping that this will explain some of the things that are happening to me. On another note...I just got a DVD of The Hurt Locker. So, I plan to have that on a continuous loop. Yummy Jeremy Renner!

The Hormone Diet

Wondering if it's my hormones that are out of whack. Will be ordering this book. It's gotten some good reviews on Amazon. I will be updating my progress with this diet on this blog.

Workout Schedule for the Week of November 1st

Doesn't look like I will work out today. I did some dancing in the living room for an hour. I might do a little more before I pick up the kids from school. Then I have to take him to acting class, go back to my daughter's school for a meeting with the teacher. Pick him up from acting class and then we come home. So, I will be doing a lot of walking today. Starting tomorrow....

Wednesday-Xtreme Timesaver and Shred It With Weights
Thursday-Off
Friday-Tonique and Yoga Meltdown
Saturday-A Tae Bo workout
Sunday-Xtreme Timesaver and Shred It With Weights

Starting Over

This is probably the wrong time of year to start over, but I went to Whole Foods today and bought some fruit to eat for breakfast. So, I can have at least one raw meal a day. The weight is not budging. I'm looking more and more bloated every day. I don't know what's going on, but what worked for me was eating 2 raw meals a day and a vegan meal for dinner. I got so tired of that after a while. And fruit and veg and so expensive. Sometimes I would not eat the lettuce one day and the next day it would be rotten. I wasted so much money. I'm going to start again tomorrow. I need to budge a little weight by Thanksgiving.

I'm a Cougar!

Apparently I am because this 24 year old boy...I mean man asked me for my "digits" yesterday. This guy always speaks to me when I'm in the store. He's always making an effort to speak to me and complimenting me on my perfume or clothes. I knew he liked me, but he would never take it to another level until yesterday. I told him that I was married with 2 kids. Showed him my wedding ring and he looked gobsmacked. He said that he didn't think that I was married. Then when I asked him his age and he told me 24. I laughed and said "I'm old enough to be your mother." He then says "I like older women." Then he went away from a while. He came back and asked me if I was happy. I said yes. He said "Well, that's all that matters." He then asked if he could at least take me to breakfast some time. I said yes just to end the subject and get back to work. I don't think we would have much in common even if I were single. It's nice to know that I've still got it though;-)

Workout Schedule for the Week of October 25th

Got some new workout DVDs for my birthday and I want to do more strength training to boost my metabolism. I started today and I did 2 new DVDs. The first one was Jackie Warner Xtreme Time Saver Training workout. That thing is intense. It's the best workout you can get in 30 minutes. I felt like I got a total workout and she kicked my butt. The next one was Jari Love's Lean Machine. It was good, but not as good as her others. I still felt like I got a good workout, but there are some dance steps while doing weights and my coordination wasn't so good today. I think if I do it more often I will get the hang of it. Here's the schedule:
Monday-Lean Machine & Xtreme Time Saver Training.
Tuesday- Yoga Meltdown
Wednesday-Tonique & Shred It With Weights
Thursday-Working no workout
Friday-Tonique & Xtreme Time Saver Training
Saturday-Tonique & Yoga Meltdown
Sunday-Lean Machine
There it is. Hopefully I can stick to it.
