A New Challenge

Wow, I can't believe that it has been awhile since I last posted an entry here. During the past couple of weeks I have been breaking my fast and it is much more difficult that fasting. I am taking eating in slow-mo, making sure that I chew really well, and have limited my food to more greens and veggies. Only recently I have started eating lean meat. Somehow, there's that scary feeling that I migh nd up in the hospital if I go back to my old eating habits. Prior to this, I was eating mostly Italian and Spanish food - who could resist those heavy sauces and cheese? :D Anywho, since then I have kept my weight off, I had my cholesterol checked and from 5.71, I had it down to 4.2 which is now in the healthy range. Hopefully I can work it down to 2 something with my new activities and eating habits. Speaking of activities, I am now back on the elliptical (and the cardio feels great!), and have embarked on a new challenge. I have recently signed up for Barre3's 28 to Great and what can I say? I am addicted. Doing Barre3 makes me my own worst enemy. It's pretty challenging and I love how it's flexible enough to adapt to whatever time that I have. From 10 mins to 60 mins a day, I feel my entire body working hard whenever I do these exercises. Hopefully in 28 days I see more toned muscles and less belly fat. #feelingdetermined
