WELCOME SEAN ! ! ! !
I'm sure that you will find lots of info and support here. Susan is right, use this week to get the feel of the program, check out the different links such as hussman, and start a wonderful way of life the next week. Good luck!
I was doing good with Weight Watchers at home but I just wasn't getting the exercise (no discipline). When I finally made up my mind that something had to be done, BFL and I just clicked! I have been on it for almost 7 weeks and I LOVE it. It has given me so much energy and enthusiasm, that now I can't wait to get to the gym. In fact, I had to stop doing extra stuff and just stick to the original program for this first challenge.
I have been doing great with the food also, except for the past 2 days where I had some Chex Mix that my husband brought into the house (i couldn't resist for very long). I did try to make up for it by mowing both mine and my neighbors lawns.You can check out my food selections at http://www.fitday.com/webfit/publicj...l?owner=silbar as it might give you some suggestions. If you review my account, go back several weeks because I lost 1 week while my computer was in the shop (you will notice the gap).
Susan~~~Did you read my reply to you on L&S? I mean it!!!!! You need to put your glasses on because you obviously can't see the wonderful difference in your before and after pics that we can see. Thanks for the periodization info you sent me. Looks very interesting. How long did it take for you to play around with the weights to find out what your 1MR is for each exercise? I don't know that I will have anything to contribute, but the idea of an info page sounds great!
MrsJim~~~I had a GREAT cardio wo yesterday. I kept the incline at 11 but increased the resistance. I plan to crank it up each week.
Cris & Shelly~~~Sounds like you gals are doing great . I have the same recumbant exercise bike as you do (have had it for about 12 years) and I use that on Saturday mornings before work~3:30am
Well,need to get to the gym~have a great day!
