It surely has been a while. Sorry for those who are following this and have not seen anything new in the past few weeks. I've been in a slump so to speak.
I've realized I have not been keeping up with my diet, nor have I been keeping up with exercises. I felt horrible about it too. I'm trying to trend back in the right direction with eating which has been all but 100% successful. Fortunately though I am counterbalancing this with much more [needed] exercise.
I'm back on the Wii Fit kick, but with much more emphasis on Yoga and Strength Training with those targetting the core. The core muscles is where I really need more work on because this is where most of the fat resides. Although I may have lean legs, and my arms and chest is shaping up somewhat nicely, the danger is in the mid-section.
This fat, known as the Omentum Fat, is bad because of where it is. The mid-section is where all the vital organs are, such as kidney, spleen, liver, etc... The more fat that is there, the more these organs get all squished together to compensate room for the Omentum Fat. I figure by targetting this area specifically will help a chain reaction with the rest of the body.
Tonight, I decided to work out with weights, rather than just the Wii Fit, and let me tell you! I felt all Beast-Mode! I had a good burn working the shoulders and chest. I decided to pump out 10 quick push-ups. This may not seem like a big deal to some of you, but you have to realize where I am coming from. I used to do them half push-ups [aka Girl Push-Up] and struggle with doing 10-15. Tonight, I did the regular push-ups and went through the first 8 with ease. The last two I started shaking a bit, but I felt accomplished. Either I am building up my strength or I am losing the mass. Either way, this is a big stepped and huge confidence booster.
Anyhow, this is it for now.
Oh! Side-note. I plan on getting into some REAL yoga soon. I just have to find out how. If any of you are interested in doing this with me, let me know.
