#66/71: Quit the numbers game.
In case you are wondering I'm not going to sell you on some get skinny quick scheme by really eating fast food! I wrote it really to catch your attention in comparison to other diet ads you are being bombarded on a daily basis! Fad diets just dont work...at least not for the long run!
Well Friday is the day that I weigh in. Hopefully you read my previous post mentioning how I have a cold and really haven't started exercising. Yeah yeah..I've casually watched my diet and have been increasing the steps I take in a day, but for the most part I really haven't done anything earth shattering. In fact I was a little anxious weighing in and thinking how embarrassed I'm going to be writing in the journal how about my weight gain/not lost. Wasn't I suppose to inspire you, the reader to lose weight kind of hard to do when Captain Fat Ass can't lay off the Pizza Rolls! Anyway to my surprise I weighed in this morning at #205lb! Yeah that's a 3lb drop from last week!
Now, that being said, you may understand why I focused on #66 Weight Loss tip this week. Quit the Numbers game it will only depress and disappoint you. I'm confident the only reason why I lost weight this week compared to last is probably water weight. Meaning I haven't 1) drank enough water or 2)I drink plenty of water so my body is no longer retaining as water as last week. Let's face it, the first 10lbs of weight loss is usually water weight.
I usually drink plenty of water and have made it a habit whenever I go out to eat I drink strictly water w/lemon. What I have done differently this week however is drink more water in form of Green tea or herbal teas at work. I dont know about you guys but water after awhile gets boring! So to change it up, I drink various teas at work and supposedly drinking green tea helps w/weight loss. BTW If you are looking to lose weight fast I hear that dieters tea you can get at the Asian Grocery stores work. I tried it..and unless you like the Green Apple Splatters I dont recommend it. You're just going to lose water weight either that or you'll be too afraid to hit the can because you're pissing out of your ass, so you wont eat much food? Hmmm...maybe it does work? Nah...so to conclude I did drop weight this week. But, I dont count it as a victory...it's a number it's temporary and we are looking for a life style change. And that will take much longer. I'm sure you and I will both see the numbers go up and down on the weeks. So dont sweat the weekly numbers. Just evaluate the reasons for the gain/loss and move on! Good Luck guys!
Just Live,
Anthony

By drinking lot of water daily will definitely helps in lose weight but even some nutrients we will loss. Green Tea is well known for the health benefits. From green tea weight loss program person can reduce weight as it boosts the metabolic rate of the human body. This in turn causes a greater calorie burn.
