Be sure to stretch good! It will help with the soreness if you stretch and warm up before and after... (I'm sure she told you that though...)

YEAH!!! I'm really excited for you!

Thanks THF!!! I am so excited and its like finally something I'm doing for just ME!!! If you ever have any tips THF I would love to hear them. Either here or myspace. I made turkey burgers last night with summer squash(I boiled it and sprayed it with I can't believe its not butter spray)and made a pasta salad with whole wheat pasta and FF italian dressing. It was so good. I have been changing our meals and incorporating more fruits and veggies in our diet. I am trying to do Weight Watchers online so far I'm down 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I feel better and am sleeping at night. Its awesome...

I'm so glad to hear that you are enjoying your new workout! And awesome for you to start eating more fruits and veggies. We need to work on more fruit in our house! You mentioned sleeping better - I have been sleeping like a rock since I've been back in the gym. That alone is worth it to me!
Keep us posted on everything!

My arms hurt but a good kind of hurt... I need to remember to stretch out first.

just wanted to let everyone know I am still going to the gym. MON.,wed.,frid.,I do weight training and tues. and thurs. I do cardio. I give myself the week end off. Pluss I work 10-6 every saturday so there isn't time and they are closed sundays. So its ok. I went to dr. yesterday and am back on thyroid meds and my chlolesterol is WAY too high(due to the under active thyroid). I have to get it down. I have a blood sugar monitoring machine now because I take Metformin for my ovarian cysts. Its a diabetic medicine but helps with the cysts. I'm not diabetic. I have to prick my finger several times a day. I have a Vit. D def. which anyone who lives where I do would. We don't get out much here until now. plus my calcium was low. It was a very LONG dr. visit but I feel great,

It really is great that you're staying with it Heather! I have to believe that it's going to help your overall health in the long run...

What did your doctor say when you told him about your new workout schedule? Was he/she excited for you too?

My dr. said keep it up. He is really into fitness and goes hiking himself alot. He even recommended some trails to me. I have been going to the gym every day and feel really good. I have 10 pound weights that I use at home too. I do 2 sets of bi cep curls and tri cep curls. I want toned arms. I do 50 crunches each day to help with the pooch.
