so proud of myself

I got up and did a light cardio class today (30 minutes), then walked on the treadmill (30 minutes), interspersed with five-1 minute bursts of running (4.5 on the treadmill), then finished off with 5 minutes on the stair master. This from a gal that couldn't walk from the parking lot into work without huffing and puffing 6 short months ago, and I HATED to exercise.  I used to laugh at my hubby when he suggested we go for a walk.   I had to take a nap after work just to be able to get through the rest of the evening and fix dinner and get the kids bathed and ready for bed.     sad, huh-- and I'm only 32!!   Also, I started lifting light weights last week and I'm doing that MWF. 

Currently, I do ligh****er aerobics class 4 times a week (trying hard not to miss days)

then 1-2 days cardio (bike, treadmill, stairmaster)  randomly in the week. Does that sound about right?  I made a commitment to myself to get some light-moderate activity in 4 times a week or more, for an hour. 

Go marsh, go marsh, go mar****'s your birthday, it's your birthday!  Doesn't it feel great to exercise and push your body to it's limits?  Isn't that a "good" tired feeling?  A year ago I was a couch potato.  Now, I'm the number one female weight lifter AND number one female total workouts at my gym.  I'll never be number one in just cardio.  I like weight training too much.  Keep up the good work!  The final result will be worth all the effort!!!

Sounds good to me. Good job Marsh! Earl

Congratulations!  Isn't it fantastic?  You have turned your life around.
