I am starting all over again myself. I have been logging everyday and going to the gym almost everyday, since the elliptical is low impact, it makes it possible. Trying to eat better too. I have to say, this week has been a good week. I am happy to be doing this.....again.

For those of you who like to infuse fruit with your water, check out www.definebottle.com. I just got a few of these bottles for making my water taste good. I saw Define Bottle on pinterest and it was also featured on Shark Tank. I had to try it out. It is quite possibly the best and most smart way to infuse water as the…

I use Polk Audio UltraFit 3000 headphones. They are amazing! They are designed for exercise and sweat proof! Check em' out.

I strictly only use the KB and count it as cardio. As it is HIIT. I am moving fast and a rapid rate with little to no breaks between exercises. Depends on the exercise.....I will start with a 2 hand swing and quickly go to 1 hand swings until that is done with no rest. Doing things like figure 8's, around the world(moving…

I generally only shop at TJ's. Love virtually everything! If you are lucky enough you should get some Chicken Tikka Samosa's. Great tasting snack. Not sure the health value of them though. I eat them no matter what. The Indian food there - Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala - sells like crazy, they are fantastic. The…

I find it super hard to drink that much water too! I am just not that thirsty!! But....I have found that if I eat something spicy, I want to wash it down and with water nearby, I drink it.....lots of it. Yesterday I ate 2 spicy peanuts....and drank an entire bottle of water! Now grant it these peanuts are labeled "The…

I gained around 1 lb. I went from 175.3 to 176.8. I belive it may be muscle weight as I throw around a kettlebell for my workouts. I am still eating fairly well and there really is no excuse for the pound of weight gain. I feel stronger and hope that it truly is muscle weight, otherwise I would be somewhat discouraged as…

I realized by looking at pictures of myself and realizing how I gained weight. And how gaining weight gave me health problems like Acid Reflux and the fact that I cannot feel my left outer thigh. It is numb as gaining weight must have pinched a nerve. I want to feel my leg again!!

I love Tandoori Chicken. I season it with a Tandoori seasoning I can only get online as it is sold in Canada(weird, eh?) But anyway, it is the best Tandoori out there. I tend to mix the spice with plain yogurt to make it less spicy and it makes it a nice thick sauce. Let it marinate the chicken for awhile and on the grill…

I like not only my fat to melt but my face to melt too!! Job for A Cowboy, Whitechapel, Oceano, The Acacia Strain, Colossus, First Blood, Legend, I Declare War, Liferuiner, Recon, Emmure, Winds of Plague, ABACAAB......anything brutal. It sets the tone to get your blood flowing and want to really finish a workout.

Polk Audio Headphones http://www.polkaudio.com/products/ultrafit3000 I have these headphones and they are fantastic. Fit around my ear and the sound the quality is superb.

I have used Kettlebells in the past and always fell off the wagon to stay on a exercise routine. But I feel that the Kettlebell is one of the best, if not the best, at home solution. I recently started my diet and workout routine on January 3rd and I have lost around 4 pounds. A good solid 4 pounds in a week and half. I do…

Kettlebell training is Cardio training....combined with weight training. It is a fast paced high intensity workout for 30min straight. So I am not sure. I was thinking though that it could be the muscle gain and therefore the no change in weight. I would think that if I tried to hop on an elliptical or run before using the…
