Vipassana Meditation?

Posted on August 10, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

My fiance is at 10 day meditation center course at the moment. I am also a spiritual person but have never truly experienced being able to meditate for 10 days with a particular technique. The technique is to “witness” your mind, body, soul in silence and stillness. How will thiso affect my fiance in a positive way when he comes home? And how will it affect the family (me and our children) in a positive and worldy negative way? I have just started meditation so the wisdom of it all I haven’t experienced yet.
Thanks.

Question about working out?

Posted on August 9, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

The past few months, I have been working out like a maniac. I do yoga, pilates, and run a mile every day. And the only difference I have noticed are my legs. They feel a LOT more muscular, but the rest of my body just feels the same. I actually feel worse than I did before I started working out. Sometimes I feel better, and feel like I look better when I do nothing at all. Is this normal when people first start working out?

How can I boost my weight loss without pills?

Posted on August 7, 2011 by admin| 11 Comments

I have been in the gym for 8 weeks, working out 4-5 times a week. I try to eat at least 1500 calories a day, but I was never a foodie and have to work hard to make that goal.

I do spin twice a week, yoga once a week, do cardio 4-5 days a week, plus weight training 1-2 times a week, and upper body and planks at home.

When I started I weighed 180, and eight weeks later, I weigh 174. I am committed, but starting to feel frustrated. How long should it take a person doing all this to reach 140lbs, and how can I boost my weight loss to 2lbs a week?

My doctor and trainer have both warned me that any lower than 1500 calories will lower my metabolism. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

He just came in for that seminar from out of town. He wasn’t our regular instructor. But he was good lookin’!

Is my diet healthy?

Posted on August 4, 2011 by admin| 17 Comments

I do 7 hours of cardio a week and 3 hours strength-training a week. I take dance classes (included in the 7 hours), but neither the classes nor any of my other cardio workouts are very rigorous (I mostly walk). I lift weights for strength-training as well as yoga and Pilates. I consume about 500 calories a day and 60 grams of protein. I’m 5’3, 129 lbs, and want to be 108 by the beginning of March. 129 may not seem like a lot but I feel like a lot of it is fat.

(It’s imperative you take notice of my exercise regime. Will that help me get into shape? For my dance team, I have to wear a midriff-bearing top, and I want my abs and my whole body to be toned.)
I hear you, T-Bone, but I’m not sure you understand. I HAVE to lose weight, and fast. I know my diet’s drastic, but sometimes that’s just what you have to do to get where you want. I’m so sick of my body, and I need to fit into my clothes!
Thanks, ya’ll, for your care and concern. I’m terrified of calories and gaining weight, and I’m probably borderline anorexic. I think my question should be “Will my diet work?” Because I KNOW my diet’s really unhealthy….I just put so much pressure on myself.
