On the up and up....

Hi everyone! Well I got some good news and bad news. The good news is I got a job. The bad news is I got a job...lol. No, actually, I'm glad about it. I've been sitting around since August, and it's time for me to hit the workforce again. I'll be managing a doctor's office, something I did years ago and feel comfortable with. It's only four days a week, but the money is decent. The bad news is that it will cut into my gym time. The good news is I'll be too busy to graze all day and I'll be able to lose the 10 pounds I gained being home (strange that my clothes still fit). When I first started at the gym, I noticed they have this 'power crunch' machine. I tried it and could not do one. Today I did 100 and the personal trainer thinks I need to add weight onto it to work my abs more. I'm proud of that accomplishment! Anyway, I just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a very happy, HEALTHY and safe holiday season. Love to all! Joanie

Great News about the Job. Will be starting the new year off to a great start. as for the 10 lbs. yours is probably muscle weight gain due to the kind of work-outs you have been doing. Change what you are doing somewhat & I bet that 10 lbs goes bye-bye. Check with one of the trainers. you may be doing to much weight training & that will cause muscle weight. If the close still fit don't worry too much about it. I wish mine was from muscle It's not. Have a Great Holiday!! Marilyn, the Bearlady

Congrats, and those gains you made in the gym are very important. Like I said, sometimes we get caught up in the scale, but how your clothes fit and added strength are very important.

Congratulaions Joanie; That's great news! It looks like your Holidays are off to a great start between the job and the workkout routine. Best of luck and continued success!! Mike
