I wouldn't say I love it, but it is necessary. Cooking is definately necessary on LAWL.....

Well, I cook sometimes and DH cooks alot....he does cook for me on LAWL.....which is great!

Must be nice to have DH cook for you :p I have to have a :tantrum: just to get help.....

my DH was single for afew years before we got married and took care of himself. Actually he likes to cook and he loves to eat.....he could stand to lose about 40 pounds himself.....he is threatening to exercise again.......hope he does start and we can walk or ride out bikes at night.

:lol: You are too funny :rofl: Yes, I haven't done very good with the exercise either and I have all kinds of excuses that I won't even waste your time on. So, I hear this dieting thing is 80% eating and 20% exercise - something like that. I'm going to focus on getting the eating thing undercontrol and then add back in the exercise. But, I'll post when I start. Actually, I did get a ton of house cleaning done on Saturday and my body still aches here and there ;)

debi - my trainer told me diet was 90%, exercise 10% - But who knows......as long as we do both we'll look and feel much better......

Wed - Hump Day........Exercising to avoid the hump onthe back...lol
Ciruit Train - 45 minutes
Inner/Outer Thigh machine
oh-rah.......

Monday my daughter spent the night with a friend, so when I got off work yesterday I had to pick her up. When I picked her up, she had this pedometer on her hip. I asked her where she got that, and she told me that when her friends mother picked her up on Monday she went by the YMCA and they are giving them away as part of a "Walk across the county" promotion. If you walk 46 miles in 43 days, you can enter for prizes. It supposed to be this big event. So I went by the YMCA on the way home and picked one up for me.

Maybe this will get me started. Since it only takes 21 days to form a habit, this could possibly be what I need to get started......

Wish me luck...

What exercise videos do you suggest?

What kind of treadmill?

I gotta get some ideas here to form a goal.....

Thanks!

karen - I detect a sense of interest on your part......I'm so happy for you!
I use Beach Body Tapes - there are many different ones. As for the treadmill, my son gave me mine as a mothers day gift years ago and it's a good one. they come in all sizes, shapes and prices - you just have to go and look - or maybe try e-bay.....
you could also get the "Walk Away the Pounds" by Leslie Samsone (or something like that?).....
Sorry my info isn't better, but I want to help you, I'm a gym goer - that's the easy way for me right now.

Karen, I just joined blockbuster online.. they have a huge selection of workout tapes.. if I work it out right I can get a workout video every few days or so.. I just did 2 1/2 miles of the Leslie Samsone 4 mile super challenge.. It felt great I so needed that... I have better sex through yoga 1 on the way.. lol by doing it this way I figure I can keep changing it to keep me motivated and I don't have to do it so long that I get bored with it... Oh and the walk tapes you don't need very much room at all to be able to do...


21/2 miles walking tape.. 30 mins

Star- do you like your Beach Body tapes?

Last night I did 30 minutes and elliptical and then 3 mile walk with DH through the neighborhood. Tonight I'm planning to either swim for 30 minutes and maybe make it back to the gym for some strength training (i haven't been since last Thursday).

nursegal - Yes, I have the whole Beach Body series, but do the Abs everyday. I like them all. Also have the bun and Thigh Roller and do that daily, then go to the gym.
Today:
Cardio - 45 minutes.....
Revisited my Michael Thruman info and realized I was working too hard - had to slowdown to stay in correct stored body fat burn zone........whatever......(sigh)

Star, I can't compete with auditgirl; but I did walk a mile and a half in the neighborhood after I got home from work. I put my chili together for dinner and took a walk while it was cooking. Otherwise, I would have either been standing there watching it or sitting on my butt watching TV..... ;)

Are you proud of me? ;)

Very proud of you!!!!! Keep up the great work ;-)
