Marie,

My doctor told me to wait 6 weeks to do weights, I am not sure if they all say the same thing or not. Just check with your doctor. Good luck!

I read an article today that said if you walk your dog 20 min a day 5 days a week you can lose an extra 14 pounds.

I think I need to get a dog!:noidea: Just kidding.

When I am up to it. I think I am going to ride a bicycle for 20 min everyday after work, when its not soo hot.

I ran 5km outside, ouchie ouchie - my ankles and knees are sore now. Its why I stick to the treadmill but boredom has been setting in lately.

It was also extraordinarily hard - treadmill running and outside running are not the same thing at all!
