Accountability... what did you eat Monday

You made me chuckle.. crunches are bad enough but when they watch you its even worse.  I think no one does crunches at the gym.  I look around and dont see them so than I follow suit... hehehe... wow on the calories for your day.. bit higher than usual but I am sure you are hungier because of the increase in exercise.  It's a double edged sword sometime.. work out to loose but eat more.. you will get nice muscles though that... will be great and the training you are moving towards deffinitely requires the extra calories. Keep up the good work.. Carla

Nice day today. Got up had breakfast and got down to our gym in the cellar and used the bowflex. Did multiple different exercises for my legs, arms and abs, 12 reps each at 30lbs resistance. PLan to increase weight slowly since my joints are not "normal" and I don't want to injure them any more than they are already. Tomorrow plan to use tredmill.

Went out and visit 92 year old aunt, took her shopping and shared some home made soup.

ps. this am the scale started to show a loss, hopefully I will be back down to my lowest weight in the next week.
ANy more loss will be an added bonus. I know I must have a number of pounds of excess skin. Can't wait to get my ps. Still waiting to hear about insurance coverage, but will go ahead even if they don't come through.

Alright I rarely talk about exercising but since you are getting started I am gonna throw my thoughts in the hat. I do supersets and I do them for a very specific reason. first off.. they keep you moving which keeps your cardio up and you burn more calories. second... you use lighter weights and more reps which defines your muscles as apposed to building them. Lastly... it is safer because us are not straining with the heavier weight sets... There is a ton of info on the internet about supersetting and I think for you it would be the ideal choice for starting your exercise plan.  Check out the internet and if you want I can send you a training plan.. the one I use.. that works for me.. It''s not about how much you can lift it is how you lift it that defines the type of body u want.  I dont think you want to be a weight lifter but have a small defined body.  supersets will do that for you.. by the way.. another great day for you.. good luck in your training and check it out.. i think you will like it.
