'Kay.
So I am a little downtrodden by the fact that in the midst of summer no one wants to Pilate with me. That's okay. I can understand it.
But MY body needs the workout, I'm stiff, and I'd really like to get back on the wagon.
Then today, 680 News was discussing how there is a new study (egad - not ANOTHER study!) that suggests that in order to lose weight and keep fit, and fight "the bulge", adults over 35 need 5 (yes, read 'em) days of 55 minute exercise sessions.
5!
55 Minutes each!!
Okay. Well, so The Pro isn't doing too bad here. I work out 4 - 5 times a week for an hour.
But.
Here comes the caveat.
I KNOW I am not getting enough cardio. And I REALLY know that 5 times a week has been hard to hit the last 2 months or so.
Now here's the kicker.
My slower than slow metabolism just doesn't like me. It isn't about diet for me. I eat reasonably. But my body just doesn't use it all. ...So I started feeling all bloaty and big in that spare tire section. ...So I realized I had to do something.
When, I wondered to self, was I feeling most swarthy and good...?
Well, other than when I was hitting the gym 6 days a week for 2 hours...
Oh... I know.
When I was taking these:
I dunno. Does it help with the metabolism? I've been back on them just over a week. My waist somehow feels better. Is it the Vitamins? Or is it weird water weight?
I dunno. I tried other ones. Just didn't like them as well. Or my body didn't. Or it's still just weird water weight. Who's really to say? Is every body different? Can anyone come up with that magic solution or is it just experimentation? If they really do work, will I have to take them for life? What if they go off the market? The Jamieson ones don't work half so well....
sigh!
I wish I had magic answers.
But alas. I do not.
Anyone got magic answers?
