Wednesday June 15, 2011 - Kettle Ball night...

Tonight is my weigh-in night and I am going to do a 20 minute Kettle ball workout when I get home.  I hope to work in at least 2 nights a week with the Kettle ball to give me some weight training.  The swimming is giving me a pretty good work out and I am loving it, but I need some weight training also.  I have a DVD that came with my kettle ball, but if anyone knows a better kettle ball work out please send it my way.

Supper last night was great, hubby cooked some chicken thighs on the grill and we had pasta salad with it.  I got the recipe off of Weight Watchers and it was great.  I fixed some green beans to go with it and brought left overs today.  I have been  eating a lot of fruit and drinking a lot of water this week so hopefully I will have a good weigh-in.  I am tracking and measuring and watching those points better this week so I should have a loss.  I will take any loss just so I have one. 

Okay hubby was being cute with the camera yesterday, so here are some pictures of me swimming and in my swim suit.   I still have a long way to go, but I am taking it one pound at a time.

 


Have a great day and here is my food journal from yesterday.

I love my Kettle Bell but haven't used it in too long. I have a DVD called Jillian Michael's Shred It With Kettle Bells. It is a great workout. I love it. They have it at Amazon.

Debbie,

You are the first I have read about using a kettle ball for weight training. I have read a little about kettle ball workouts and it looks like a good way to firm up one's muscles. As you know building muscles is a great way to burn fat. The fat burning even happens after the kettle ball workout when the muscles are recovering from the workout.

Keep up with your swimming routine. I have read about interval training which has been proven to burn fat faster that just swimming laps at a steady pace. Interval training would have you swim as fast as you can in short periods of time with a period of rest between the swimming intervals.

Keep it up with your eating and exercising. You will get to your weight loss goals soon.
