Day 27 ACV - Getting Better at This
Day 27 and I have to say, I've only let 2 days go by where I didn't drink the Apple Cider Vinegar. I still haven't seen major effects taking place. I don't seem to be any thinner for the taking of the mixture, and I don't feel any major differences. What I do know is that I am receiving a good benefit from the fact that it works as a natural anti-inflammatory and it works well to both balance your blood's white count I think it is, and it lowers your cholesterol. I'm probably a lot healthier than I realize, but I'm not seeing any of the weight loss that people talked about. I was HOPING that on the 4th week I could say "OMG, I've lost 12 pounds" but I can't say that. I don't think I have.
Well, at least I have the hopes and knowledge of knowing that I have been working out for about 5 days now. We've gone 3x so far, and I'll go another 3x in the next 4 days. I think every week we'll go about 5x and each time we'll work out, walk, use the robotic machines, we'll swim a little, sit in the hot tub, and both the wet and dry saunas. I need to spend a bit more time in the pool, maybe at least 30 minutes each time. That's probably going to have to start happening. My son tells me that the pool will be my best bet to get the fat off this old body.
Let me tell you, there are too many mirrors in that place for my taste. I'm not kidding you. I almost have to wear dark sunglasses to avoid seeing myself from every damn angle. ROLLY POLLY is what I see. I'm still about 40 pounds too heavy and it's all right in the middle. EVERY inch of me outside of my torso is fine. If I was in proportion to my calves and biceps, I'd be a beautiful woman. LOL I would be 5'7", 128 pounds, solid as a rock, and probably have thicker hair too. Why not; if we're going to pretend, we may has well do it all the way.
It's becoming easier to do the work out. I did notice that. The first time I sat at the elliptical (recumbent) machine I could barely push through 3 minutes. I am doing 5 minutes now and biking about 1.8 to 2.0 miles each time. I lose 30 to 50 calories, and get the blood pumping. I walk to the track, and walk it 10 times, which is 1/2 a mile, then I do the machines on the inside of it, the arms, bi-ceps, tri-ceps, and back muscle machines. Then I walk another 1/2 mile. I do the other machines if I feel like torturing myself further, but today I picked up the 10 pound kettle ball to do a few swings. I need to start with the 10 even though I know it's light. I want to do 50 swings and then move up if I can do those without problems.
Off to the robotics, and let them do their thing. One of them literally massages your fat. You can sit on it, lay on your back and/or belly. You can do your thighs one at a time, or you can do calves. Another of my favorites shakes your bones loose from your muscles as you lay on it. It can either be your best friend or worst enemy, depending on the day I suppose. If you lay loosely it works your back, it you tighten your belly (while laying on your back) you get an ab work out like no other. I love it and I hate it, but I use it every time!
Following the robots I take to the pool if no one is there, and to the saunas if the pool is busy. I switch back and forth and usually end up in the jacuzzi at the end of the day. Ten minutes at least in that pool right up against the jets.....Oh, yes....my back loves me after that. By the time we finish we may have spent 2 hours in the gym, which is absolutely crazy for us, we're usually at the barn, but NO MORE. We go to the barn on weekends now, and one day a week. When the weather is better, and the sun is out more we may hit the barn first, but we'll end up in that hot tub a lot more often than not. It's a good thing I don't have one at home, I may not go to work.
Soon, and very soon, I will tell you that my pants are falling off! That will be a great thing, and it will be a bad thing if I don't invest in a belt soon. At least I can say I know it will happen. I'm making this body listen to my mind finally. I will be 140 and I will be a size 10. I will be healthier, and I will be able to swing 20 pound kettle balls ... just not right now. LOL
