Ok I will speak with one tonight. I was trying to wait until I developed a routine cause they can be pretty expensive but if it's the way to go from day one, I guess I gotta do it. I just can't let myself slack so I'm getting my moneys worth.

I highly suggest that you get a trainer to help you develop a plan. I started working with one before I had surgery to prepare a routine for post surgery. My trainer has laid out my plan for my needs. We meet every 2-3 weeks to switch things up.
Keep on losing!

which weight training exercises do some of you do? I'm doing my weight training as instructed but I'm all over the place. I do glutes, legs and chest basically every time I go. I'm being told I should have specific days for each part I'm working on.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I don't want to get a trainer until I've completely developed a habit of attending the gym. It takes 6 weeks for most people to develop a routine and stick with it and I was given clearance to workout a week ago. I have a long road ahead of me with this working out stuff but it must be done. I'm down 34lbs in a month and a half which is amazing but I'm beginning to see signs of loose skin and want to minimize that as much as possible.

Finishing is sometimes a bigger win..

I'm trying to get back on track. Weather is limited my riding plus my mom is in rehab for her stroke. I'm going to prioritize myself everyday after I see my mom. I'll post daily the next morning.

Thanks! It just takes practice. And a willingness to eat dirt every once in a while.

Marathon went pretty good. Had a goal of being sub 6 hours and finished in 5:22. Not bad for a trail marathon with 3,600 ft. of climbing. A couple days of rest and time to get back at it. Bandera 100k in 9 weeks.
Monday-rest
Tuesday-6 mile run
Wednesday-6 mile run
Thursday-6 mile run
Friday-4 mile run
Saturday-10 mile run
Sunday-10 mile run

This week has some unusual things going on, so we'll see what happens.
I went to parkrun all by myself on Saturday, which is a big deal for me since I normally go with Lance and he's the primary motivator. I was looking at my parkrun stats afterward and, of the seven times I've done it, I've achieved a personal best for the course on six of the runs. It's really awesome to see progress like that. I'm a slow but determined runner so I don't always feel like I'm improving.
Monday - intermediate mat pilates class
Tuesday - nothing due to being an election judge!! (I assume I'll walk and stand a lot and that my hip flexors will hate me on Wednesday morning.)
Wednesday - mat pilates class
Thursday - running, yoga stretching
Friday - MFR class
Saturday - hopefully some ping pong with my mom before heading back home. I'm driving up on Friday after MFR class to interview someone who works at her CCRC about HIPAA compliance.
Sunday - running, yoga stretching
