Weight:  187

Size:  12

Exercise:  Yoga today and 3 miles of walking on the treadmill yesterday.

187!!!  Not a budge in 7 days, not good!  That isn’t typical for me.  I usually can at least get down 1 or 2 pounds in a week.  I need to try harder I suppose.

Yoga was great today.  I tried the yoga class at my new gym, 24 hour fitness, and it wasn’t so bad.  I usually have a problem with the classes they hold at the gym.  They just aren’t usually held with the focus, breathing and flowing nature that I am used to in a yoga class.  There were some poses that were new to me, or she called them something other than what I am used to, but all-in-all I am so happy that I went.  A friend of mine joined me, which was wonderful too.  I will definitely be going back.

I walked 3 miles on the treadmill yesterday at the gym too.  I am so excited for the S.G.K. 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk in October in San Francisco.  Our team is supposed to be created tomorrow, then I can register.  I am hoping that this will get me back into the exercise groove and what better way to get motivated then such a wonderful cause.  I am going to try and raise more than the minimum $2300 too.  Wish me luck!

Tomorrow is another day at the gym walking on the treadmill.  Most likely another 3 miles.  I am going to try and add a mile on every couple of week I suppose.  Build my endurance, strengthen my feet, legs and lungs.  Love it!

I call it torture!

I did the fit test and didn’t really even go all out like I was supposed to and it was still REALLY hard. The purpose of the fit test is to gauge your current fitness level for use as a baseline during future fit tests, which occur every 15 days.

The fit test was pretty simple, in theory, but brutal once executed. It starts with a cardio warm up. I should mention at this point that I have never liked cardio. What I’ve gravitated to is low intensity, steady state cardio because it is comfortable. This  balls to the wall cardio is killer for someone like me and is completely out of my comfort zone.  

After the warm up you are prompted to perform a certain exercise as many times as possible during a timed minute.  It looks so easy. You stare at the television screen in disbelief and think there is no way it could be a challenge and wonder if maybe you’ve wasted your hard-earned cash. WRONG! My heart rate was jacked the entire time. Not to mention I was humbled beyond imagination when it was all said and done. I want to say, “I suck,” but that kind of negative self talk isn’t acceptable. Let’s just say there is major room for improvement. Of course there is more than one move and you get a breather while the next exercise is being explained/set up but somehow, for me, I just found it HARD.

I did graduate to real push ups. I’ve done girlie push ups on my knees for the last couple years simply because I can and because…you guessed it…they are comfortable. I’ve never been good at real push ups so I just stayed away. I figured I’d just bite the bullet and suffer a little as I am long over due. I’m glad I did. I felt really good although I wasn’t very good at them. 

The bright part of my fit test workout was doing it with my husband. That’s right. He’s decided to take the 60 day Insanity challenge with me. He looks sexier to me already!

I’ll post our fit day results both from now and our 15 day update on day 15. Let’s pray for some improvement!

Pada penanganan penyakit hati, diperlukan diet dan obat sesuai anjuran dokter Anda. Diet disesuaikan dengan kondisi penyakit, tentunya diet berbeda antara satu penderita dengan penderita lainnya.

Dengan perhitungan dasar yang dapat dilihat pada tabel Bahan Makanan Sehari, anda dapat melaksanakan diet yang sesuai. Hati dikenal sebagai organ yang mempunyai kemampuan regenerasi (pembentukan kembali) terbesar di dalam tubuh. Untuk proses regenerasi ini diperlukan protein esensiel dan vitamin dalam jumlah yang memadai. Tergantung dari keadaan penyakitnya, dapat terjadi ketidak seimbangan asam amino, dan hal ini dapat dilihat dari adanya gejala neuropsikis atau peningkatan kadar amonia di dalam darah.

Bila hal ini terjadi maka asupan protein harus dikurangi 30-50% dari kebutuhan.Diet yang harus dipilih, sebaiknya dikonsultasikan dengan dokter Anda.Pengurangan asupan protein akan mengakibatkan berkurangnya nilai kalori dan protein, sehingga harus dicarikan pengganti yang dapat memenuhi kekurangan kalori dan protein tanpa meningkatkan kadar amonia.

Salah satu produk yang memenuhi syarat di atas adalah Aminoleban Oral yang mengandung nutrien penting dengan komposisi seimbang, seperti asam amino rantai cabang (AARC) karbohidrat, lemak (rice oil), asam amino esensial yang lain, multivitamin dan mineral.
