When people grow older, metabolism changes. There are many factors affecting weight gain or weight loss. However, in my case- I just pigged out and stopped working out for the past two years. Whereas for 3 years before I relocated here in the USA, I worked out 3 hours daily, seven times a week. And then I got lazy and became a couch potato. Ouch!



I gained weight but am losing it. Good grief! My weight loss process is gradual. Sometimes I gain a pound or two before my period comes when I get bloated which is normal for any woman my age who is still fertile, hehe. Anyhow, am not pushing myself to lose weight ASAP. I want to look refreshed and slim as before when I was younger so I am just cool about weight loss and taking time to let my body acclimatize to my new life style of eating slowly. Below are some developments, healthwise for me:

1. Life style strategy to lose weight: "FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT"
2. Target weight: 123 lbs.
3. Previous Weight: 156 lbs.
4. Current Weight: 143 lbs.
5. Food intake: all~ including beef, pork, chicken, fish, veggies fruits, yougart, pies, cakes, chocolates, ice cream, pastries + wine, gin and tonic, margarita, tea, coffee and water. Surprise?
6. Exercise: 1 hour leisure walk (at least 3X a week). I don't do power walking. Not my cup of tea.
7. Approach to eating quantity: Eat in moderation. EAT SLOWLY. It should work for you. It worked for me!
8. Work out routine: when at home and not travelling.
9. Machine: Bowflex and dumb bells (have not done this since March, actually but am still losing weight!)
10. Supplements: Protein drink and zone bar (a.k.a power bar)

NOTE: For details on my weight loss program, read my previous blog last March 2006, go to ARCHIVES and read stuff there. And BTW, I am already taken and married!!! I got a prompt note earlier (from someone from across the globe). Wow! Am flattered but sorry. I am committed to blue-eyed little boy-blue. But thanks for passing by! I appreciate it!
