There were some health people here at work last week, to check our BP, weight, BMI, etc...and I always enjoy that their stupid BMI table never actually goes high enough...ha...but I'm working on it. I've been walking for 30 mins @ lunch, and doing some strength training at home. In the past 4 weeks I've lost 14 lbs. My goal is to get to 180 (I'm 5'8"), which I haven't been since I was in High School when I played Basketball.

Great to hear you are walking! It is so good for all of us, usually. 14 lbs in 4 weeks is a good loss QueenAccountant. Keep up your strength training and you will build muscle so that your metabolism revs up a notch or two! That's what I'm doing.
I did more weight training with the personal trainer on Monday. He had me show him how to use the machines! and then Idid the reps. I held the "plank" position on the floor mats for a whole 60 seconds! So I know I'm getting better after only 2 times
. My hubby goes to see the trainer on Thursday pm, so I'm going along so I can do 'my thing' by myself.
Tomorrow night at 6:30 I have aerobics,
(that's moi, doing the aerobics) which I skipped last week both days...and I was too tired after doing the weight lifting work again this past Monday to go.
I have to get used to being active again. I'm trying to figure out when the best time is to have a little more protein, before or after I do my work outs, in order to have the 'fuel I need to do the work and then recover. Anyone know? Think I'll post in the general forum about that.
Plus, the sun will be out again tomorrow and in fact all week - right through the weekend! Yeah! Happy Happy Happy.
Let's all stay motivated to be more fit!
