10 Must Do Things to Lose Weight After 50!
1. Weigh and measure every week! (Buy a Withings wi fi scale)
2. Journal all food and drink - count calories in vs. cals. burned (It takes a 500 calorie deficit every day to lose a pound a week) DO THE EFF'n MATH! Use myfitnesspal.com
3. Wear a heart monitor (tells you exactly what you burn during a workout - or activity) then punch that data into myfitnesspal.com (I use a Polar FT7)
4. Get your ass off the couch - Get active 6 days a week. Move more. House cleaning counts. (I bought a new road bike - I burn anywhere from 800-2000 calories a ride!)
5. Abs are made in the kitchen! Eat clean. Don't buy anything you know you should not eat for the first 12 weeks. Check out this website www.eatcleandiet.com
6. Use a tracking App like My Fitness Pal - Set a goal and be patient. I chose to lose 1 1/2 pounds a week. I gave myself 20 weeks. I hit my goal right on target. I lost 30lbs of fat and gained 5 lbs of muscle. Size 12 to a 4.
7. Use social media to stay motivated - (Instagram, Tumblr, Blogs, Fitness forums like www.bodybuilding.com ) they are loaded with great advice, tips, healthy tasty recipes, and people who will post pics to keep you motivated and focused. Follow me on Instagram chigby77
8. Take pictures every week! make it your screen saver our desktop on you iPad.
9. Cut out the alcohol as mush as possible. Replace your habit by drinking the new flavored teas, like Red Velvet Chocolate and Dandelion Root!
10. Buy a bike. Cycling saved me from having to workout in a gym every day. Instead I hop on my bike and tool around town (and by wearing a heart monitor I can see how many cals. I burn.)
