Weight: 230.5 lbs. I've gained 6 lbs in the past 4 weeks. That is what lack of exercise will do. At 61 yrs. old, it is much more important for us to exercise since our metabolism slows down as we age. When we stop exercising several things happen. Muscles begin to atrophy (decrease in size). Less calories are burned so we can't get away with eating a few more calories than we should. Additional Endorphins, which help us stay in a good mood, are not made. This makes us susceptible to eating binges which have both a physical and psychological root.
Exercise: Curls and presses with dumbbell
Breakfast: 1 cup of All-Bran and a boiled egg.
Lunch: Stir fried vegetables in Canola oil, 6 ounce boneless chicken breast and one slice of whole wheat bread.
Dinner: Chicken breast, brocolli and brown rice in something like a caserole my wife made. I'll eat anything.
