thank you all!!!
junco! thank you for the compliment on my pic! I love it too! we took it on our 5 year anniversary cruise this past November!
and hehehehe My signature cracks me up too.. to think about losing 140 lbs is too overwhelming for me it's just discouraging it feels like I'll never get there so I look at it as Oh OK I only need to loose 10 lbs. that's not so hard I can do that every few weeks!
As far as my work out went today I was on the elliptical for about 7 minutes and said forget this I'm gonna finish on the tread mill so I did about 25 more mins on the treadmill I also did intervals where I was power walk really fast for like 2-3 mins and make the incline higher and then slow down, and repeat.. My old trainer said that that is the best way to keep from plateau.
Last year I had lost 40 lbs just by diet and I didn't star excerinsing until I was about 280 lbs.Boy I did get a little whoozy form time to time but today really scared me.. Thats why I'm wondering if It's because of the extra weight I have on me now thats it's so much harder.. or just because perhaps this is my work out in ages and I just need to build some stamina again.. I dunno I also would do aqua aerobics mostly fro a work out and then maybe do the tread mill for 15 mins and the elliptical for 15 mins nd taht was it.. so maybe the aqua aerobics helped since it is low impact?
the more I thought about it as well.. It was REALLY hot today.. and when I got outside in the sun I felt worse and then I hopped in my car and the darn AC wouldn't kick in.. so maybe I was just over heated?
I dunno I think I'm just gonna ease in to it the first week or so.. and slowly add more time and resistance / incline as I go along..
or maybe I just get back into the aqua fit class
