I walked for 3 miles this morning and did my leg exercises. I'm actually starting to enjoy this exercise thing, I guess making it a daily habit really helps. Laurie

Great Laurie! Believe me, when exercise really is a daily habit, you do it so much easier!!! You feel so much better!!! Even though I yawn in the afternoon, nothing keeps me from my 5 am workout. I love it too much! Lori

YOU ROCK, Lori! Wow, what a workout. Instead of going to the gym this morning...I opted to lay in bed and chat with my husband for a change. It is hard when he gets home at 9:30 pm and I'm half asleep at that point or in the middle of watching some TV show. It was nice to just chat for a change. We'll be hitting the gym at 8 am tomorrow morning before I head off to support group, lunch and shopping! Have a great rest of your day! Kathy

Good for you! Quality time with the DH is very important! Lori

OK -- I am going to be a regular poster to this! I'm working out with my trainer tonight. It's legs night. She always mixes it up, but we usually do at least 3 sets of 15 of everything. We will inevitably do some step ups with weights or walking lunges with weights (those are my fav -- not!). And she always gets in some ab work with crunches on the ball or having both legs in the air and bringing each leg down and back up one at a time. I guess I need to start learning the names to all of these. Oh, I will start of with 20-30 minutes of cardio on the stair stepper before I let her kick my arse. Angie

Welcome Angie...if being a regular poster can help motivate you, great! I'm so glad you work with a trainer. I think it really helps "push" me to keep improving. Lori
