RE: Made it through my surgery...thanks for all the sup...
Hi Joy,
Sorry to hear your wisdom teeth experience was not good. If it was anything like the infection I had, I know what you went through. I was in so much pain with that infection that even after 3 shots of novacaine, 4 ibuprofen, and 1 vicodin, it only took the edge off the pain!! It was unreal.
As far as my rotation goes, I love both cardio and weights. I was doing Imax, running, and things like bootcamp, etc. with ME and Power hour. I had gained about 12 lbs. in 2001, and believe or not, was not able to lose and ounce no matter what I tried. You must know that I am a fairly clean eater by nature. I love vegetables and eat them all day long. I am not much into sweets (that's why this pudding, ice-cream, yogurt thing for the next 2 days is killing me
and don't like bread. Not a low carb thing, just have never liked bread. Anyway, over X-mas hubby bought me the Pyramids as they were the only piece of the Intensity Series I didn't pre-order. I was watching some program on Fit-tv where a personal trainer had mentioned that weight training should be 75% of conditioning, obviously leaving cardio at 25%. I had always been about 50-50. I started using the Pyramids 1 time a week each, with ME, and another lower body workout such as the new Legs and Glutes. Since I have started this, I have lost almost 6 pounds without modifying my diet one bit. It is the only thing that has helped me over the hump. Even a Slow and Heavy rotation didn't work for me. It is something about those Pyramids that really works! It has been hard for me to cut back on cardio because I love it so much, but I do make sure I get 2 or 3 full hour sessions of cardio a week. Seems to be working so far
I am 5'-8" and 144#. I look my best at about 135-138. I am hoping this rotation will get me there. That's about it. Hope this is helpful to you.
