Hey Everyone... Happy Sunday!

Sun is not what it was in the Sunshine state today!!!! We really needed the rain so I really didn't mind.

Went to the gym today for the bodyworks/Ab class. I did better.... I made it through and to me that is what counts. I don't want to hurt myself.

Have a great evening... I'm going to watch the Heat beat the Mav's!!!!

Update to what was actually done yesterday:

Arc Trainer 1 hour

Treadmill 30 minutes

Total calories burned, 855 calories

Only spent 1.5 hours doing cardio :kiss :bored Once I got 30 minutes into the arc trainer I was in some serious pain and sweat. I didn't think I'd make it

Oh yeah and there's a woman who works at Gold's, she's the reception girl, probably about 5ft 7 and weighed around 250lbs. She looks at me as I grab me keys to leave and says, "Dude! You lasted longer on those machines than I do, GOOD JOB! That's impressive." :tired I guess she thought I was this porker that couldn't hang with the best of em huh?:tired

Tellymelly..........YOU ARE MY IDOL!!! I have really enjoyed reading your replys and you are very motivating!! I have been an athlete my whole life but an overweight one. I played college softball and struggled with my weight all 4 years. I have lost 48lbs since being banded on 4-3-06 and my energy level has sky rocketed! I was doing 35-40 min of cardio and thought that was good UNTIL I read your exercise thread one day. Because of that I am now doing an hour!! I switch off each day from the treadmill and the eliptic (can't spell it or pronounce it) machine. THanks for your encouragement. We are both in the thirtysomething and had surgery around the same time, I can't believe your goal! I hope to be down to 200lbs by CHristmas maybe I should shoot for my 33rd birthday (OCtober)! My husband is very supportive and my 5year old daughter wants to know where the weight has gone. (Did I throw in the trash.........from the mouths of babes!!) Good luck to your goal, if anyone can do it will be you!!!!!!!!!

Haha, wow Jenn,

You are too sweet and it sounds like you and I both have been through similar things. I was an athlete prior to child bearing. I will hit goal even if it's not August, which I am trying to be realistic knowing it's a major probability.

You are doing terrific. Not too many people can do cardio for more than an hour so I give you props for that.

Would be great if you posted here daily... such as myself, doc, niche and tricia. We all need to counter-motivate one another. God knows I need it.

I will post daily or at least weekly!! Todays work out I did an hour on the EM, 2 sets of 35 on the arm press and some other arm machine. 3 sets of 30 situps. I know I should really know the names of these machines, it's amazing how much you forget in 10 years of not working out with a trainer or coach. Good Luck Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!
