Twenty Minutes

Twenty minutes, three times a week....and so the journey begins. I want to lose 65 pounds and it starts today. I just finished my 1st twenty minute workout and entered it in my log. I am working on the Pace Program by Dr. Sears. It is an interval training workout and his theory is based partly on studying sprinters, who have much more muscle mass than long distance runners. I am also incorporating weight lifting at least three times a week. I want to see results soon! Dr. Mercola has written a book called ,"Take Control of Your Health." One of the basics of this program is Nutritional Typing. You can determine whether you are a Protein Type, Carb Type or a Combination Type. My body does best on protein, so I am learning how to eliminate grains from my diet. So, it's a learning process, learning what is best for my body and eating 90% that way. Today is the first day of this journey....
