There are so many roads to weight loss. Permanent or otherwise, weight gain can creep up on you while weight loss can come at the most unexpected times. Some people handle stress with food and some just don't have that need to eat. Jessica Simpson a recent new mom and weight loss achiever of over 60 pounds was caught showing off her new body during this year's Halloween season.
Kudos to you Jessica Simpson for beating that rough road that so many women struggle through after having a baby. Many women find themselves in a place of desperation after their once beautiful body becomes stretched and tired. Many women don't find the strength or the desire to move forward into something better, weight loss takes work and people who tell you otherwise are not dealing with the underlying problems.
Here is an example of Jessica Simpson's daily regimen (per the Examiner) that has caught the media's eye:
Her daily weight-loss diet and workout program typically consists of the following:
7 a.m. - Jessica wakes up and feeds Maxwell, then has breakfast: half a flat-bread sandwich with egg whites, peppers and fat-free cheddar
8 a.m. - Simpson walks up to an hour a day, trying to get at least 14,000 steps on her pedometer. Afterward: a snack of berries, bananas, melon or grapefruit.
11 a.m. - Four days a week, Simpson works out for 45 minutes with a trainer doing a combination of cardio and circuit-training exercises such as dumbbell triceps extensions, hamstring curls and crunches with a medicine ball.
1 p.m. - Jessica eats lunch of spinach salad with 4 ounces of chicken satay and pear.
2 p.m. Simpson walks again outside or on the treadmill, then has a berry smoothie.
6:30 p.m. Dinner of fish (4 ounces of halibut or tilapia) with roasted eggplant, broccoli or asparagus. Low-fat ice cream for dessert.
10 p.m. Bedtime.
The media is so hard on movie stars and women in general, high expectations of always being beautiful and catching them at that glorious moment when they let their hair down must really be stressful. But just like the normal everyday Joe's life, weight loss takes discipline. Including mental discipline, deciding what and what you do not want to have in your life and in your thoughts can help you succeed and push through to your goals. "I have to separate myself from the world's expectations," she said, "I have to look inside myself. I'm not a supermodel...I just wanna be a better version of myself." - Jessica Simpson - |
