How to Tone Your Thighs and Arms
I have committed to doing Mambo at least four times per week, so far, so good. Little by little, my body has started to respond to the demands I'm making on it. I have lost a couple of pounds, which is probably due more to water loss than fat loss.
The first week of reduced caloric intake causes the body's chemistry to burn more glycogen, a short term energy source stored in the liver and muscles bounded by water. The more glycogen the body uses, the more water you lose. The numbers on the scale could be showing you water loss rather than fat loss.
Remember, the human body is at least 60% water. It is essential to replenish yourself with plenty of water as you navigate these processes of increased exercise and reduced caloric intake.
Water in the system helps regulate our internal body temperature, metabolizes and transports proteins and carbohydrates through the bloodstream, lubricates joints, and flushes out waste.
I recommend you drink eight glass of water, daily, eight ounces in size. Eating water-rich foods like fruits and vegetables will also keep you hydrated, healthy, and lean.
Keep a log of the foods you eat in your journal, track your weight periodically, and take your measurements every 30 days. What you did today will carry over into tomorrow. Hopefully, it was a good day today. If not, I'm pretty sure that tomorrow the sun will come out and you'll get a "re-do." Every day is a new beginning.
Stay positive, set your aim high, know where you are, and where you are going. Set a plan of action, and execute it. Then, sit back and enjoy as you witness the dream unfold.
Be the best you can be, today and every day,
Clarita
