"Burn, baby, burn." Disco Inferno
Way #22 Embrace fat burning foods
Salmon, turkey, beef, skim milk, broccoli, oats
Give your system a helping hand by eating from this list every day. They are high on the glycemic index for their category and nutrient dense. So your body is working harder to unleash the calories and taking longer. This makes for a long, hot burn that is best for raising your metabolism.
It's a bonus that these foods are very high in taste as well. Visit project100ways.com for delicious recipes.

"Fish are friends, not food." Finding Nemo
Way #21 Set up a reward system
No matter how much you want to feel and look
better, everyone likes a little perk now and
then. And no matter how little or big, any
kind of perk, except food, can work and help
you through flat times in your program.
We are setting up a home aquarium. We have
the basics but for a living thing to make it
into the tank, there must be a negative
outcome on the scales. Could be a little
lonely in there for a while, but that lift in
the morning will last all day as we plan for
our next fishy resident.

"I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member." Groucho Marx
Way #20 Do your aerobic exercise in a group
Enjoyed my first ride today with the Sacramento Recumbent
Cyclists or "bents" as these comfy riders call themselves. A
beautiful ride along the American River. I barely noticed it
was my longest ride of the year, at least until the last 5
miles.
Aerobic exercise is just born to be done with others. Pushing
yourself without that encouragement and challenge rarely, if
ever, can produce the same results.
There are benefits such as comraderie, tips and seeing things
done in a different way you would never figure out on your
own. But probably the best part is that becoming part of a
group makes the activity a part of your life and much less
likely to quit.

"I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me" Philippians 4:13
Way #19 Add muscle, lose fat
Twice a week is good for tone and incremental improvement. The basic idea is to tear them down then let them rest and build up bigger. Pick lift that targets each of the following groups:
shoulders
biceps
chest
triceps
abs.
Run through the groups 2-3 times, picking a low enough weight for 10-20 reps each time.
Free weight, especially dumb bells are preferred to machines because they work more of the muscles. Machines are so exact only
those muscles needed to life the weight on an exact track.
If you are biking or running you don't need to spend much time on your lower body.
