Did you reduce calorie consumption?
Yes, I did.
But I am from New Orleans, so I love to eat, and I fall off the diet wagon all the time.
But my theory is that if I burn enough calories on a daily basis that should make up for my cheating when it comes to food.
I mean once a year I eat a king cake from Maurice’s French Pastries in New Orleans, and that thing is about a zillion calories, but it’s just so good. Gotta have those pleasures, but then I work them off.
The thing that I really enjoy the most about my exercise regimen is that it has made me so much stronger and so much firmer than I was.
Skating has made my legs into solid muscle, zero % fat there, weight lifting for the arms and chest, and then the push ups, ab wheel and planks for the core. Skating also works the core very well as it is used to maintain balance constantly.
The exercise makes me feel good physically and mentally, and as a consequence of that, also spiritually. Gonna do it for as long as I possibly can.
