Josie I love the vasectomy advice. I hate cilantro. I can't even eat the dish if I pick it out. I'm hoping the two days of lifting is enough. Tues is upper body and Thur is lower body. Seven days a week is 30 min. on treadmill. I know this is less than what everyone else does but I think...

Beth I'm not trying to do any more than what I will try to do forever. If that makes any sense. I think 30 minutes on the treadmill (or mowing the grass) is doable but if it's not 10,000 steps that's just too bad. If I feel like it I will walk a little more but I don't want to get used to...

Josh wants me to do 30 minutes on the treadmill 5 days a week when not with him. It's part of the 10,000 steps. Although lifting days are usually higher. It's amazing this Saturday I was so tired and even with 40 minutes on the treadmill I only had 7200 steps. I think I slept the day away...

It's been raining all weekend. I did get 10000 steps in but needed about 15000 to make up for all the days I didn't get in 10000 this week. I think I spoiled the last two weeks dieting by the meal I had Saturday night. Jann the botanical garden is great but I loved one of the flower beds...

Another quick fly by. The trainer is going great. He has really listened to me. The first week upper body was sore (I use sore as a good thing and hurt for bad) but not the lower body. This week both were sore. He was trying to be careful with my knees so we did less the first week. He is...

I think I'm going to hide the scale. It's been bouncing up and down. It's back to the gym tomorrow. I planned on a full body wo on Sunday but we went to the Missouri Botanical Garden. At least I got over 10,000 steps in.

Magnolia I'm not sure which one is Push Pull. Is that the name of the disc? It seems like we are all in a position where we would like to do more and are doing the best that we can. I guess at this time in my life I thought I would have more time to do what I wanted to do. I'm not...

I was amazed how much strength I had lost. I guess talking about lifting is not the same as lifting.:o I am pleased to have someone spot me. You really can't lift to failure without a spotter. I'm hoping to get back to "normal" quicker with this plan and then go from there. The trainer has...

I am using the 2 hours that Luke is in preschool on Tu and Th to wo. I drop him off at 9:30 and I can get to gym in 15 minutes to have time to warm up. Trainer is from 10-11 and I pick Luke up at 11:30. It's rushed but doable.

Jann, I told trainer that the elliptical always hurt my knee but he said to try it. We did it for 6 minutes. We also did the exercise where you sit but just barely touch and then stand up. The step was really low and was more than 90 degree bend. Both I'm sure hurt the knees. The hip was...

((Kim)) Welcome back I'm sorry for your loss. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have...

I decided everyone else was right Josie, you can't be polite. You have had this problem for a long time and she just doesn't get it. He told me I was doing the kettlebell correctly but that's the only different movement that I think could have caused the lower back pain. I also told him the...

Back with Luke so I have a moment to post. Lower back is sore today and I think it was from the kettlebell. I didn't like the movement and it was too much swinging. I am going to be very particular this time and refuse to do anything that might injure me. I think he went overboard on his...

Josie I might add I can't work when someone is talking. And maybe not add you're not interested in her personal life. At the gym I'm assuming it's the liability issue. Luke has preschool on Tu and Th from 9:30-11:30. I told them I could just make it if I had trainer from 10-11. I got there...

Magnolia, I love that you seem so consistent with your exercise. That inspires me. I couldn't get the babysitting at the gym since I'm not the parent. They are worried about liability. I decided to try 2 times a week. Luke has preschool on Tu. and Th. from 9:30-11:30. It makes it a little...

I went in today because they didn't call me. I made the appt for tomorrow but then I found out that I can't use the daycare since I'm not the parent. They told me they would give me my gym membership back but I still would like it to work. We'll see what happens. Joan

I'm really hoping that if I get in the habit of exercising I will be more likely to do it at home in January. I really want to combine diet and exercise for the next 4.5 months.

The gym is actually only a mile away. I don't need the gym I need the appt. I never missed an appt with a trainer when I was going 6 years ago. The trainer would cancel but in the 4 or 5 years I never canceled. I'm hoping just getting back into the habit will then get me started working out...

I have come to the conclusion that I will not exercise until I get into the habit of exercising. I just came from the gym and paid for a two year membership. They are calling Monday about the trainer. I decided to start with 3 days a week until December and then see if I will do it on my...

Since the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, I signed up for a gym membership. I HAVE to have a trainer to make me do the wo. I actually think STS is better but I haven't been able to make myself do it. I kept talking about doing a...
