well, here it is Sunday. Need to go workout. I've got every excuse not to go, but no forgiveness in my heart for myself if I don't go.

Yeah me too. Cool you are going I bet the results of the hard work are starting to show, this is great. Stick with this, sounds like your liking that girl in your mirror more already

Its gonna keep getting better. Before you know it you will be shopping for that new bikini.

It's not really "showing" except I did drop some pounds. I'm still going though. I actually like the workout, and the feeling it leaves me with. I just do the treadmill, and am trying to reduce the diet some.

went for an hour today.

Awesome job Medford. Maybe incorporate some "machine" weights to wake up your body even more. Keep it real light. Also find some good ab machines and try to really put some tension in your ab/stomach region, this will help to restrict your stomach more and actually make it smaller over time.

Deadpool · « **Reply #55 on:** December 23, 2007, 10:48:41 AM »

I was thinking of either lifting, or going back to practice karate as a second workout each day. But I'm not ready yet

This is a good idea, more muscle will help raise your BMR, that way you will burn more calories just sitting there. I know your not BB but this will help you big time in your fat loss goals. Nothing major maybe just whole body circuits 3 times a week, that would not take long, maybe 15-20 mins.

yeah...I'll work on it

ripitupbaby · « **Reply #58 on:** December 23, 2007, 04:23:01 PM »

I agree, I was going to suggest some weight training. It will boost your metabolism for up to 24 hours after you train, allowing you to burn more calories, sometimes more over a 24 hour period than cardio. Plus, the muscle you build will burn more calories just by existing on your body instead of fat.

Are you planning on sticking to a diet through the holidays next week?

Deadpool · « **Reply #59 on:** December 23, 2007, 04:26:58 PM »

sure. I was eating bad bad food and big portions, so it doesn't take much to cut that down.

I am planning on going to the gym tomorrow for an hour...gym closed Xmas.

Deadpool · « **Reply #60 on:** December 26, 2007, 07:52:32 AM »

up early and at the gym for an hour on the treadmill. Just keeping the heartrate in the fat burn range

went to Wal-Mart's and bought (among other things)

white grapefruit juice

three new pairs of sweatpants

Skipped Monday and Tuesday was Christmas, so back into the routine

note: I looked in the mirror today and, wow! My arms look all ropey and powerful. I'm not ready to post pictures yet, it's only been two months, but like she said, I am starting to like the girl in the mirror. Picts maybe come spring?

1 hour of cardio, thats awesome Medford. Keep up the great job.

ripitupbaby · « **Reply #63 on:** December 26, 2007, 06:21:09 PM »

Awesome Meddie, pics would be great! Keep up the good work. The New Year is the time to make resolutions and stick to them!!

Deadpool · « **Reply #64 on:** December 27, 2007, 07:37:12 AM »

only forty minutes of cardio today. my joints felt sore last night and I almost didn't go this morning but I am glad I did. Forty minutes on the treadmill, it's liveable.

Butterbean · « **Reply #65 on:** December 27, 2007, 09:39:11 AM »

Hi Meddie! Oxygen Magazine is great for information and inspiration!

Also, do you have an IPOD or walkman that you can use when working out? If my workout partner doesn't show up, using my IPOD will keep me there until my workout is done (usually $:-\$ ).

Crystal Method type music is great for cardio and then harder stuff for lifting IMO.

Keep up the good work Meddie

Deadpool · « **Reply #66 on:** December 27, 2007, 12:21:06 PM »

I find the music, or listening to the TV, a distraction. Right now I just moniter my heartrate. I suppose ideally I'd listen to my German language tapes in the future, but right now I just concentrate on making an effort.

I'm sort of getting into the whole sweaty gym workout things now. I look forward to them. I'm planning on going tommorow after work ( I might just lift if my joints are sore again tonight) and Saturday morning and Sunday morning too.

Felt "lighter" today, would swear my pants were a little loose, wore a belt.

I tend to listen to rammstein. or my 80's and 90's cassette tapes. I have about 500-600 cassette tapes mounted on a rack on the wall

Man I can never get youtube to work well for some reason

But I did crank that up and give it a listen, great training music

Yeah and just as cds are going out of style Meddie got her first CD J/K

To go with her new VHS machine.

Deadpool · « **Reply #73 on:** December 28, 2007, 02:39:33 PM »

some date back to high school (you do the math)

I have a whole rack of them, 500 or so. I'll post a picture someday.

I didn't go to the gym...but now I FEEL like I should go...I wanted to catch up on some things.

Definately tommorow and Sunday though.

Deadpool · « **Reply #74 on:** December 29, 2007, 05:40:11 PM »

today was actually a lifting day at world's gym

did bench press, dumbell press

ran the rack with a dumbell curl set

and did two sets front and both sides on the Neck Machine with 70 lbs.

(I'm no pencil-neck)
