Is it
possible that you could actually lose weight while watching your favorite shows
or reading your favorite books? YES, it
is! Read this article to find out how...
I don’t know
anything about you but if you’re anything like me then you struggle with a
weight loss problem. Your weight loss
problem consists of you struggling to keep your weight down, or struggling to
make your weight go down.
Most people
who see me wouldn’t believe that I have a weight loss problem, but I do. I’ve battled bulimia and constant gains and
losses in weight, often pounds each time.
That’s what I call a big weight loss problem.
A lot of
women and men with the same or a similar weight loss problem would sympathize
with me I’m sure. I want to look good
(who doesn’t?) so that always motivates me to go on a diet.
But after
sticking to a diet for a week and dropping the unwanted weight my love for good
tasting food overpowers my need to feel attractive and the weight piles back on
pound by pound.
There is
always exercise to help with a weight loss problem, I remind myself as I lie
lazily on the couch chomping down on one of my non-diet treats. “Sure!”
I groan “I don’t feel like wearing my butt out without seeing any
results for weeks at a time.”
Whenever I
start a workout regimen I only stick to it for a few weeks (usually less) and
then I get bored and drop it. So my
weight loss problem continues.
How many
other women I wondered (or men, for that matter) get bored while
exercising? I thought about that for
awhile then I set about to find a solution to help all those poor people (and
myself too, of course) with this weight loss problem.
First I
asked myself: What did I like to do?
What did I find Interesting?
“Hmmmm,
well” I thought “I like dancing, but long periods of it are exhausting. I like to read, to listen to music, and I
really dislike being on my feet for over long periods of time.
What could
possibly combine all or most of these to make my exercising interesting and
help solve my weight loss problem?
The solution
to my weight loss problem was amazingly simple!
I own an old
stationary bike, and I do mean OLD, but the important thing is that it
operates. You can do this with any form
of stationary bike, whether it’s a twenty year old model or an up to date
model.
It doesn’t
matter whether you own the stationary bike or use a gym’s or your local YMCA’s
or YWCA’s facilities.
My weight
loss problem solution is this:
Find
something engrossing to read. It could
be a novel or your favorite magazine. Or
listen to music that you enjoy, you could even use audio books or any different
CD’s or things you could listen to.
I suppose if
your bike was somewhere around a television or computer with a DVD player, you
could even watch your favorite movie.
The next
step is to mount your stationary bike and start biking while reading or doing
any of the above listed activities, and not to get off for at least 40 to 65
minutes, except for an occasional rest every quarter of an hour.
I usually
just keep biking away the whole time and sometimes I bike longer because I’m so
engrossed in what I’m reading, and I won’t allow myself to read it once I’m off
the stationary bike.
After a week
of this, without change in my eating habits, or any dieting, I’m maintaining a
healthy weight. Best of all I’m not
putting on any new pounds and my legs look visibly slimmer.
So I've
kissed my weight loss problem goodbye, and I'm saying hello to slim jeans and
size 6 dresses, and you can too.
For the
first time in a long while I actually look forward to putting on a bikini.
