I love lifting but not so much cardio. I really have to push mysellf to do it but I'm still plugging away. With me the biggest issue is that no matter how hard I exercise if I don't change the eating habits, I get no where. I went to the Dr. this morning and I was excited to see that I had lost 10lbs from the last time I was there a couple of months ago. Basically I've cut back on the soda's/sweet tea and opted for water or unsweetened tea. I've been cooking very light suppers - mainly lean chicken and fish and loads of steamed veggies if snack during the day it's on nuts and fruits - not chips so much but I do find the 100 calorie snack packs very handy and tasty when I'm craving that salty taste.
Sassy C - honestly - if I was your size - I wouldn't be worrying about a thing. I'd go for daily strolls and continue to do what I was doing. You look great girl!!!!!!!!!

Just checking in. I'm excited because I joined the fitness center where I work. I work and a large University and the fitness center is just across the street from where I park. A few of my co workers and I are going after work. I'm sticking to 3 nights per week thus far!

Does coughing up a lung and sneezing count as cardio or aerobics?  |

Fantastic Countess! Can't wait to hear how it goes! My DD, sweet little thing.....has been wanting to do "track and field" with Mom.....~sigh~ which means running in circles around our property til we barf! And I have to do it cause I'm determined to teach her how to live a healthy lifestyle and be a healthy role model....  Dang it, I hate running...you get a sweaty and gross! |

That's great Sassy C. I wish I were better at running. Oh my I dread that. I finally got my bicycle fixed so I am going to be riding around the neighborhood some on the weekends.

I've been going to the Gym on a regular basis and I've been working on the treadmill and the elliptical trainier. I've also been riding the bike on weekends. This week I lost 0lbs nadda - soooo frustrating!
I signed up for a personal training session! - Can't wait!

The only running I do is "run behind" And, Countess, the personal trainer - OMG - that would scare me to death! I got an e-mail joke about a woman whose daughter bought her sessions with a personal trainer - I deleted the e-mail but it was like the Mother's Diary, something like, Day 1 - Bright cheerful fit young lady who is so sweet to help me get into shape, and by Day 4 - Devil in workout clothes |

Well how's it going now Countess? Did you enjoy your personal trainer?
Running is out for me......darn ankles....(~sigh~ choking back tears....trying not to scream-a-loud with frustration)
My daughter and I play a new game....how many times she can lap me around the property while I walk and she runs.

I signed up for one but they haven't called me yet. This is very annoying because I already paid for the session. I work at a University so the PT's are very busy. They said it would take 10 days to contact me but it's been more than that already.
