By the time you read this posting I will have touched down on Italian soil, beginning my seven-day stay in Bologna, Italy. Why Bologna? Because I love food and Bologna is quite simply a food-lovers paradise: bolognese, prosciutto, mortadella and salame all hail from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, and I love them all.
You may now be wondering why I decided to visit a city known for its food when I've re-dedicated myself to losing weight. The truth is that I planned this trip in September 2007, well before I decided that I was going to lose weight! So I type this article with much trepidation. I've spent a good deal of time compiling a circuit I will be able to do in my hotel room with nothing more than my bodyweight.
My in-room circuit workout includes:
Prisoner squats
Stick-ups
Push-ups
Lunges
Jumping rope
Mountain climbers
Step-ups
Regarding my diet, I'm entering this trip with an "everything in moderation" mentality. Time will tell how successful I'll be. As we know, the scale never lies.
Train hard. Stay strong.
Peace.
