Bob Greene

Bob Greene was on Oprah today discussing how to lose those last 20 pounds. Most of what he said was common sense. Increase your workout resistance and pace regularly. Exercise isn't negotiable. Be consistent with exercise. He also said that tennis, volleyball & bike riding, etc are "activities" and not exercise. He didn't explain why though. He also talked about plateaus. He said if you have lost a lot of weight, your body will plateau to give your organs a chance to adjust to the new "workload". Interesting. I couldn't find anything on-line to support what he said. But did find this information. And this was on Oprah's website written by Dr David Katz.
I got the results today from my bloodwork done earlier this week. My cholesterol and glucose were great. A sign that all the diet and exercise is working. I should have had my cholesterol and glucose checked before I started losing weight to see how much of an improvement (if any) there was.
We hired a painter today to paint out dining room, kitchen and living room. Now we just have to find and agree on a color. It will be so nice to be rid of the builder white.
