So this is the second episode and I have to say I think it turned out pretty good. I've wanted to do a show decicated to weight loss since my own weight loss victory. Like I said I have a mental disorder called Generalized Anxiety disorder. That's fancy title for the fear of everything. My anxiety fed into depression and then to soothe that it was compulsive overeating. I was horribly addicted to fast food. I put myself in such deep debt just so I could eat out 3 times a day plus eating in between. Don't let those fast food ads about how cost effective their food is fool you. It does add up. When I started eating in more and eating less my body was shocked! I was sleeping 12-14 hours a day and it took about 3 months before my body started to get used to my new lifestyle. I've gained about 10 pounds since the interview mostly from finals stress but this time I feel like I know what to do take care of it and you know what? I will take care of it.
The Dietian's interview went off to a rough start. It was orginally longer but I used microphones and I forgot to turn them on. We had to reshoot that entire interview and it ended up being shorter than orginal. The work out that I did with Derrick was truly no joke but he sailed right through it. The next day my abs were very sore so I think he was on the right track there. I hope to have a routine from him that can be done from home and when I'll post it on the blog so you guys can see it and do it from home. You'll notice my cat Isis in my closing comments sitting next to me. That was done on kind of done of purpose. I didn't plan to have her in the shot but just as I was ready to start filming she jumped up on the couch right next to me and looked up at me like "Is the camera on? My sure you get my good side." I couldn't resist and I thought it would be kind of cute to have her in the shot. She's also in the opening comments in an upcoming show but I guess that wasn't enough for her.
Not only did I want people to know how to change their lifestyle, I also wanted to show cost effective ways to lose weight. I've read several articles about medical professionals worried about "recession pounds". People putting on weight by buying food that lower in nutrtional value because it's lower in cost and not exercising because they don't have money for a gym membership or don't have time because they're working more. I do have another cost saving tip that didn't make it into the show, go thrift and garage sale shopping. You can find exercise eqipment and DVDs that are cheaper than finding it in the store. But why buy when you can get some stuff for free? Check out http://www.freecycle.org and find your hometown or area. You might be able to find books, exercise DVDs, tapes and eqipment and much more. These are all for free with no strings attached.
Now that you're done reading this post and watching the show, get out there, move and change your life.
