Ready, set, go!
This week I was very consistent with my goal to lose some weight before going to Paraguay, as a good Paraguayan I always leave things for the last minute, shame on me, but that is certainly a build in feature already, maybe to work towards a deadline approaching is more exciting, lol
As I’m pretend to eat all these awesome foods there I need to lose some weight to not come back rolling like a ball.
Besides my usual workout routine (Mon and wed) I started to add more cardio and weights and machines.
For the cardio I usually just go to the park near by and run and it is impressive how much improvement I see in my resistance to run, at first I was week and slow and was tired after a couple of minutes, yesterday I could run one entire round without stopping, maybe it is not much but in comparison it is a huge improvement.
During my runs when I’m tired I stop and do some abs that are working amazingly good and some leg and butt exercises on the floor in the park, I may look funny, but who cares?
Obviously I also watch what I’m eating, not too much sugars or pastries (that is hard to give up) and not much fats (that is easier for me than leave sweets)…
I’m driven by a goal and I hope to reach it before my trip, If not, at least I would have enjoyed the process

Don’t forget to eat a lot the green stuff. Tons of it. Carrots, cucumbers, broccoli salads and not to forget fruit of all kinds. Cut totally down on bread and pasta. And to help it go fast, plenty of water and miles miles of runing.
It works, beleive me!
I hope you will get a ball of af vacation in Paraguay. I will be in touch later.

The thing is that tomorrow is independence day in PAraguay and today we have a big celebration in a Paraguyan friends house…there will be plenty of Paraguayan food and barbecue…I hope i can resist, lol, but I will let you know! Thanks for your great advice. Saludos and keep in touch
