Re: Re: Of husbands and work-outs

Brag about your husband all you like, , sounds like you've snagged a real prize there !

I only have another 4 pounds to lose, so nearly there. I'm 5.10", and have always weighed around 123, except when I really built up muscle, which I seem to do quite quickly. I LOVE weight training, but try and balance it with aerobic work-outs, which I'm now doing 3 x a week, weights 3 x a week. I'm still taking it easy, explant was only 4 weeks ago, so my sessions are not very long, about 35-40 minutes. On days when I feel less energetic I just walk fast on the treadmill, but it all seems to help a great deal. I appreciate your offer of advice, you're very kind. I'm sure the last pounds will go eventually, or, more likely, I'll replace them with muscle weight. Either way's fine by me, it's just soooo nice to fit into my old Levis again !

Having a diabetic friend of mine lose a 2nd toe due to eating incorrectly has just inspired me more to avoid sugars and bad fats along with refined carbs. I can't believe how radically my diet has changed over the past 3 years, all for the better, and it wasn't really such a struggle. I've also managed to stop focusing on food as comfort, companionship etc., now it's just food, not the highlight of my day ! I can't take credit for it though, balancing my brain chemicals has had everything to do with this ! I just don't want the bad stuff any more, don't feel the need to constantly be eating like I used to. I used to be able to finish off a big bag of crisps all by myself, now I can't stand the stuff ! It's all very weird, and wonderful too ! PAtty and the other girls here have done so much to educate me and support me through the nightmare that my life had become.

I feel amazing lately, not just OK, but really, truly amazing !
