Update on my PACE workout is fantastic! Although I have not seen any weight loss (because I had not changed my eating!) I can feel the increased lung capacity and strength. I have always included exercise in my daily life. Sometimes I would fall off the wagon for a few months but have never been a couch potato. But the program is truly what I need in that it is a short “workout” with great benefits and no excuses can keep you from 20 minutes 3 – 4 times per week.

This week I have added a special smoothie and soup based detox to get me started. After one day I have lost 3 lbs! Really! I realize it is likely water weight but I am sure that the colon cleansing has had an effect as well! I gave myself a jump-start on Sunday by stopping all coffee and alcohol. Then Monday because I was unable to find some of the items required (affordable protein powder and psyllium husks) I skipped dinner Monday night in favor of a fruit and protein smoothie. Then Tuesday started in earnest. You begin the day with juice and psyllium husks followed by a yummy frozen fruit smoothie. Some homemade (or Trader Joes) carrot soup mid-morning and mid-afternoon and smoothies (varied through out the day) for lunch and dinner. I have stalled the PACE workout for these 3 days because strenuous exercise is not recommended, I did however walk 2 miles slowly yesterday. Today I will do my sit-ups and push-ups only.

Watch this space for my results.
