Working out and eating better
I think has sharpened my ability to focus

There is a basketball court inside the gym I love to shoot baskets
to warm up and then again between time before going to the next machine

I really was bad when I started shooting Most of my workout was chasing
the ball after wild shots

The last few days I started to get a feeling of being in the zone
After a beautifull swish shot from the corner I just kind of saw the ball
giong into the basket before I shot it. Now before each shot I see it
happen and my hit percentage is way up

I am on a hot streak with my wagering, Saturday I really was into seeing
the race from the paceline selections and then reading the BLBL

I hope this all ties together A healthy mind and body
is the thing that my be my confidence buider to move on
to a dream

Have a healthy happy day
Bill

This is a tremendous post Bill.

Your total life change (for the better!) is inspiring me to move my fat ass around more. Thank you!

[RichieP]

Bill you inspired me to push myself. I just finished a 3.2 mile perimeter walk around Glen Island. Kept my heart rate up pretty good.

Really out of shape but this made me feel good and I have you to thank. Gotta do more of this,

Now in need of a shower desperately!!!


Funny coincidence in that Michael Pizzolla in this months "Inner Secrets Dvd" talks about the very things you stress here. Fresh mind, healthy body etc

Study after study have shown that it is NOT necessary to hike the heart rate up to the levels of really stenuous exercise to achieve and maintain cardiovascular fitness. Prolonged joint trauma and potential injury awaits most joggers: have you ever seen a good distance runner over 5 feet 9? Not too many.

Rich Thanks I wish you good health
I feel good that I can help you too

I set the treadmill and Elliptical to my
weight and age. It recommends a heart rate of 111.00
as long as I hold onto the sensors the machine adjust its resistance
to keep my heart rate at that 111 target

I set the speed to 3.6 which is brisk but not crazy
I don't jog on the machines or outside
my knees are very bad so I am worried about the pounding

When I walk outside - I do this as much as possible -
I look to match the speed of 3.6 and look for routes with some
small hills

Thanks
Bill

Just an update

I'm 13 pounds short of my target weight
and 1 and 1/2 inches off my target waist size

I got a very nice phone call , something I really needed
I had a very bad week I let a good friend down
I read two post that really were sad
Richie and I are into this and I hope you join us ....

I hope you can get started with some kind of a plan
a little visit to your doctor and than get started
You will feel so much better Whats good for the body will help
the mind

Another thing that most people don't understand is the amount of sugar from carbohydrates in your blood.
The doctor said I was pre-type II diabetic from blood tests.
So I got myself a test kit for less than $20 and started testing my blood glucose level before and after every meal and found the foods that I can and cannot eat.
Within a week I felt a whole lot better.
My arthritis aches and pains were almost gone and I started to lose weight.
The itching and pain in my legs disappeared
Without dieting I have lost about 15 lbs and a bunch of inches around the waist and can walk and do as I haven't been able to in several years.
I'm told that with medication to control your glucose levels you can eat most of what you want.
But if those foods aren't good for my body I don't want medication to fool my body so I can eat them..
I've even gone out and looked for work to do in the yard.
My neighbors are all happy about that and have started to take down their for sale signs

Froggy.....

Glad to hear of your success! I'm working to lose some weight to ward off the type II as well as increase my energy and longevity. I am going to monitor my glucose levels as well. Too much wheat is a problem, as long as all the white stuff (sugar, refined flour, rice).

Stay cool,

Pete
