    Exercise and Weight Loss

    I am down to 175 today! Whoo who! I know this can’t last and it’s going to be really hard to post on the days when I gain some weight. Better celebrate now!

    I exercise 5 to 6 hours per week. Why do I still gain weight? The answer is easy, I eat too much. Here’s my normal schedule (these are hour long classes except for the scuba):

  • Sunday – Yoga, fairly gentle
  • Monday – Power Sculpt, a workout, low impact
  • Tuesday – Pilates, great for the core
  • Wednesday – Yoga – I teach at the Wellness Community and it’s very gentle
  • Thursday – Scuba Diving in the cold California Ocean!
  • Friday – Power Sculpt, a little intense but still low impact
  • Saturday – Day Off
  • I am pretty regular with the above schedule missing sometimes one day a week from the above. During May however, I was working more and did miss more classes which probably contributed to climbing to 179.

    Now to loose weight I need to change it up, increase the exercise and descrease the food. I’ll talk about the food another day. On the exercise I have been upping the anty this week. I am doing all of the above plus adding another 15 minutes to an hour each day of yoga. On Tuesday I taught an evening yoga class in addition to the morning pilates. Today the weather was bad so instead of scuba I did a very intensive Power Sculpt class. I have to be careful with this class. The last time I went I hurt my ankle from the jumping and it took months to heal completely. I currently have a sore right shoulder and a twinge of neck pain so I am being careful with the shoulder, using lighter weights or no weights. It’s tough getting old.
