Four Pounds in One Week 

I assumed last week was a temporary plateau and I was right.  I can lose weight fast when I set my mind to it and I lose four pounds in one week.  Not bad is it?  So how did I do it?  I didn't do anything real special I just kept at my weight loss plan and exercise plan,  I have been doing a lot of weight loss reviews and exercise reviews since opening this website in October 2007 and a few things I have learned are consistently answered: Persevere through down times; Exercise hard; Drink lots of water; Avoid fatty foods; eat 5-6 small meals a day.  You do these things and you will have fast weight loss too.

But enough of cheerleading speech and lets get down to the nitty gritty.  What did I do this week for my diet and fitness?  Let's take a look below.  If you have not read my previous journal entries I encourage you to begin from the beginning in my personal weight loss blog .

Exercises Day 43 through 49

This was an unusually active week for me for exercise and I truly believe that helped me lose weight fast. 

• On Sunday I did my normal one hour work out of 30 minutes on the incumbent bike at resistance level 5.  Then a few more pushups with the perfect pushup bar of 12,10,8, and 6 repititons.  Then two sets of 10 bicep curls. 
  

• On Wednesday I had two workouts.  The first was one hour of basketball at my daughters school for staff versus graduating 8th grade class.  Which we lost the game by the way. 
  

• Then two hours later I played tennis for two hours. 
  

• This Saturday I played another two hours of tennis. 
  

This gave me a total of six hours of work out this week.  While I didn't get as much time doing strength training I definitely got plenty of cardio.

Diet Day 43 through 49 

My diet was almost the same as every other week but I definitely avoided  before bed snacks.  I was happy with how I did this week.  I also didn't  force myself to eat the snacks at a specific time or at all if I wasn't hungry.  In previous weeks I would eat the snacks regardless of how hungry I felt.  Maybe that was a mistake?  Now I eat the snack if I am hungry only.  I think this made a difference as I think I ate less and my body was not hungry.  At last it never complained to me that it was!

Looking forward to next week 

I don't plan on doing anything special this week.  Everything seems to be working as is.  If I don't do tennis due to weather or no one to play with I do my one hour home workout.  I sure do enjoy being out on the courts a lot more then in my basement but I do miss the strength training.  I don't miss the incumbent bike!
