day 21 of 21 (Treena Glover)

YIPPEEEE!!!!!!!!! YAHOO!!!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!! Falechia, Bonita (Co-Producers of Self Portrait) and I committed to exercising for 21 straight days for better health...while also trying to make exercise a habit. Well... I did it. Though the scale only shows that I'm five pounds lighter...I appear slightly leaner with smaller measurement sizes.



The goal of 21 days was to make exercise habit forming...so we (falechia, bonita and I) are not going to stop exercising...QUITE CONTRARY...we are going to continue on in this cycle of healthy living. When I blog tomorrow...I will title it 21 day commitment +1.



Two things worth mentioning on day 21.

First, we taped another show. Yayyyyyy!!! In the show we talked about our various body types and the pros and cons of our respective body types. I am considered an apple, which means my weight has a tendency to congregate above my waist. This is not good because the fat can become embedded and intertwined with my vital organs creating a number of health issues including diabetes. However, body shaped apples can lose weight the fastest. You'll have to check out our CAN-TV show to see the body types of Bonita & Falechia.

Second, I went to Hapkido and trained in Hapkido & exercised for one hour (that's nothing new). However, what is note worthy is that I did twenty 'flibink' push-ups (Hapkido style). That is major for me because it indicates that my arms are becoming stonger!!

I didn't meet with my personal trainer, Rock, because I'm still trying to gage how realistic it would be for he & I to be able to focus ONLY on exercise.

So...on day 21 I worked out for one hour in Hapkido.

For breakfast I ate oatmeal, fruit and yogurt. I drank two cups of water before breakfast and two cups of water after breakfast.

For lunch I ate a hamburger without the bun. I wrapped my meat and toppings in lettuce. I also drank two cups of water.

For a snack I ate popcorn. But...lol...I was talking on the phone to Falechia while eating it and she asked the question what kind of popcorn. So... I'll share that it wasn't healthy...it was Oke Doke hot stuff cheese popcorn. I drank two cups of water before eating my snack then drank two cups of water one hour after eating it. With all of the water consumption I ate only a few handfuls of the popcorn.

For dinner I had a southwestern salad with two cups of water.


In total I drank 12 cups of water a day.
