My response:

on your snacks you need to try to eat more fruit and less peanuts and if you are going to eat peanuts don't eat peanuts and cookies on the same snack. 

 

 

Your workout of course was not long enough.  That workout will not get you the desired results. Your workouts are planned for one hour.   Try not to start making excuses because you need to do all the workouts everyday.

Due to the current state of the economy, Americans have been forced to make tough spending decisions. Regardless of the economy, many individuals desire to lose harmful and unsightly fat.

Americans are spending billions of dollars on diet and fitness products, Yet the Center for Disease Control reports that over 60% of the U.S. adult population is overweight and that percentage continues to climb. Statistics show individuals are spending more on fitness with decreased results. According to personal trainer and fitness expert Clinton Walker III, this is due to the large amount of money spent on ineffective gimmick products.

Treadmill Procedure

Here's how to do your treadmill workout session the right way. These three steps already put some variety into your exercise routine which improves the motivation factor:

Warming Up -Start your workout at a walking speed of not more than 2 mph for the first two minutes. This will give you time to stretch your muscles and getting them warmed up. Alternate between putting weight on your heels for thirty seconds, followed by shifting your weight onto your toes for the next thirty seconds. Then increase your stride for the remainder of the warm-up period to help stretch the muscles. After a week or so you will get used to warming up at this pace and you might want to increase the speed of the warm-up workout to a light jog of 3 or 4 mph.
