This is my first time posting my exercising -- maybe it will help me keep it up. I've been doing this for a couple of months now and have gotten to the point that I'm actually looking forward to doing my workout! Yay!
This week I started a 12 week program from a book, "Body Sculpting Bible for Women" -- Monday I did a dumbell routine at home, and I was amazed to find I had muscle soreness the next day. Here I've been lifting weights at least 3 times a week for a while, and all of sudden, with this new routine that doesn't seem much different from the classes I was taking, my glutimus maximus was SORE! Weird. Tuesday, I went to the gym and rode the stationary bike as I read from Lance Armstrong's biography (very inspirational, BTW) -- and interval training program for about 30 minutes. Wednesday another session of weight lifting at the gym. Yesterday I had a lot to do so I didn't really do anything other than some housework. And today I'm heading to the gym for another weight workout.
I've got a long way to go (70-80#?), but I'm so happy to say that I'm starting to feel my muscles -- internally if not through all the fat! -- and my attitude is definitely improving.
