Your consistency is key, gardenerjoy....I am sure you will finish strong.

I am now back from all of the travels I had to do the first 2 weeks of April. Yesterday, I started my spring training routine - more heavy weight-lifting and less cardio.

So, going forward, my exercise schedule should look like this:

Mon/Fri - heavy weights, plus abs, plus stretch
Wed - heavy weights, plus cardio
Sat/Sun - long walks (hikes as soon as the weather permits)

I am on-track!

Mon - heavy weights plus stretch - complete
Wed - heavy weights, plus abs, plus cardio - complete

Friday I will repeat Monday. And Saturday I have a 2- to 3- hour hike with a hiking group scheduled.
