I totally believe that weight training is the only way to burn more calories throughout the day and the only way to shape your body.  You can get thin by aerobics, but you don't get the shape that comes from weight training. 

Randy used to be afraid that I would bulk up, but he is loving my results lately.  I don't want to sound boastful, but I am very happy with my body too.  Not perfect, but so much improved!

I miss CeCe too.  I think of calling her often, but haven't done it yet.  So many of our good friends are missing. I wish we could come back together like we once were. 

Thanks for your continued support.  You are a special person!

Wanda - you and i would be two peas in a pod in that Zumba class then - he he he

and walking lunges are my favorite too - I knew I liked ya!

remember I don't think weight exercises show that big of results on our watches ... but building that muscle burns more calories throughout the day and while sleeping - that is a good trade off :)

Where is our friend Cece?

hugs,
Britt
see ya at the *gym* tomorrow

I would love to spend time with Jeremy!  I love his logic.  He seems like a lot of fun too. His advice for you sounds good.  Let us know how it works.

Zumba looks like so much fun, but it's not for me.  I'm way to uncoordinated for that!

I started my day with a variety of lower body exercises.  Walking Lunges are my favorite!  Then I did the bike for 20 minutes.  I only burned 360 calories. 

Keeping dancing, my friend!

Oh jeesh !

OK today I decided to try a new class, ZUMBA at my gym!  Well ... I tried - I just *wish* I could shake it like the instructor!!!! I *wish* I could move my hips like that - my BRAIN WANTED TO, BUT MY BODY JUST WOULD MOVE LIKE THAT! I am not sure if i burned more calories *trying* to shake it or *trying* to figure out how to move my body like that and follow along with the Zumba routine. I attached a link below so you can see what i am talking about if you haven't heard of Zumba before. I *really *wish* i could move like that!!!! So I am not sure if I'll have the guts to try it again next week ... I probably will :) stay tuned.

Zumba means join the party - give this class a try if you have it near you and let me know how YOU did. If you woulda seen me you surely woulda had a good laugh!

I did 25 minutes on the ARC trainer before the 1 hour Zumba class and burned 631 calories :)

So ...what did you do today ?

hugs,
Britt

Girl CLAIM those 45 pounds - you LOST them PRE-OP  (brava!) Claim each one of them!

Why wouldn't you? (If I lost any pre-op I would have claimed them)

I hope the new changes allow you the RESLTS you are striving for :)

have a great day,
Britt

It feels Amazing! Yes two years...Wow! It seems like it was sooo long ago. Maybe because it was alot of work, but well worth it. Still healing up from my tummy tuck from 9/9/08 and waiting to go in for my BA on 1/13/09. Last pics were from 9/7/08. All are welcome to look. Need to get TT pics on before and after yet. Congrats to all us 2years!!!!

Thanks Britt...

Technically I've only lost 95 lbs. since my surgery.  The other 45 were on my own, pre-op. 

Thanks for the encouragement, however it will be a long road... I've been 12 lbs. away since Last April, training for he MS150 and then training and completing a tri in June. 

I'm hoping that the info helps me.  Kinda scared about more carbs, but I"m giving it the old college try. :)
