Week 10 - 25 N10

This week I completed week 10 with a total of 25 pounds lost! The last 4 weeks have only seen a pound lost per week. As I'm only now 5 pounds from my goal this rate is acceptable.

I've added fish twice a week to my diet; usually; sardines or wild salmon. My wife Sharon has been following the plan to and recently had to buy new clothes.

I am exercising between 4 to 6 hours a week. Strength training 3X for 30 minutes and daily walks of thirty or 60 minutes if I didn't do my strength training.

This is a very workable way to live and eat!

Week 7 - 22 N 7

Completed my seventh week on the Eat to Live diet life-style, and have lost 22 pounds!

I've added cardio back to my exercise regime. Early on I was feeling the affects of over-exercising. Here is my new plan:

• I will strength train 3 times a week. Each session is about 30 minutes.
• I will do cardio vascular work, walking and biking for 30 minutes a day. The total is 3.5 hours.
• The total of above is 5 hours. Some days I will walk a hour.

I've been strength training on my Bowflex, but stopped walking for a hour each day. It was just too much for a former couch potato.

Yesterday on my walk, a gal in her SUV pulled up to me and said you are really losing weight. She commented she has seen me walking through the neighborhood and noticing the leaner look. I told her about my '21 n 6', the Eat to Live book and Dr. Fuhrman's website.She said she needed to do something as she was so tired of being so tired of being over-weight. When I told her about my more energy and greater initiative to do the chores around the house, she commented she had to get her husband on it!
