Happy Birthday, Donna!!
I've taken a few days off working out due to knee pain. Tuesday I did Jari's 1000 workout and I really liked it, and the next day I was pretty sore, but that "good sore"....all except my knee, it's been pretty achy so I've just held off on any cardio and fortunately used that as an excuse not to do anything! This weekend I am VERY short on time but I am going to push myself to do a 30 minute workout both on Saturday and Sunday!
As far as my fitness goals...a little background. I was a chubby child, starting since about 5th grade. In 7th grade I stopped eating and lost about 20 lbs. Since then my weight has crept up and although I've pretty much been obsessed with dieting/exercise/fitness I no longer starve myself. Despite my eternal "dieting" over the years I"ve managed to pack on an extra 15-20 lbs that I cant seem to lose. So my overall goals are to at least lose a healthy 10 lbs and stay on track alot more consistently with my healthy food choices. I am an emotional eater, so this is a struggle. I also have IBS so that tends to make things interesting as well! My family histor is riddled with diabetes, high blood pressure etc so I definitely want to just "be healthy" to avoid those problems. My dream goal is of course to look like a super-model but hey that aint happenin!!
My short term fitness goals...havnet decided. I was going to do a STS strength rotation with alternating days of cardio. Now I've been leaning towards more of a circut or "calorie burning" rotation doing more Jari, Jillian Michaels, Squeeze workouts with one heavier strength training day a week just to make sure my muscle doesnt turn too soft. However, after my knee aching with my last Jari workout I still haven't quite decided what to do. In the end, it really boils down much more to what I put in my mouth than what specific exercise plan I'm doing!
If I dont get back here, hope you and Linda have a great weekend!
