I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)
Kelda:
hand up.. me to!
Front-Ranger:
So, what do we do to get over the second month doldrums, Cap'n Paul and everyone? I'm going snowshoeing today, that should get me back in the groove, I hope!
CellarDweller:
Weather kept me at home yesterday, so I did a DVD workout instead. Oh, and did some shoveling too.
;D
Also shoveled today, and plan on hitting the gym.
Front-Ranger:
That shoveling is very good cardio, isn't it?
I've stepped up my workout lately and my body is responding nicely to it. I've finally reached that plateau where I'm invigorated, not exhausted after a workout, and my muscles are not sore afterwards (I still get stiff muscles if I just sit after a workout).
I'm halfway to my goal of losing 10 pounds. Not much to brag about, since it's only 10 pounds. But, I'm so happy with my "new" body! My stomach is nearly flat and my butt and thighs are slimmer and harder. I still have my love handles though but they're starting to disappear! I'm starting to think new clothes, and I've been able to wear pants that have been hanging forlornly in my closet for months, if not years! szzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddd (My cat wrote that. I think it means Lee doesn't have enuff lap for the computer and me as well now!!) ::)

I read somewhere recently that shoveling is a major cause of heart attacks. But that would pertain to people who are ordinarily sedentary and then have to get out there and shovel -- not people like Chuck who frequent the gym.

Good for you, FRiend!
I have a big batch of forlorn clothes, too. I'm hoping to be able to wear them again before they go out of style. There are a couple of things in there that I've never worn at all. :-\ ::)
I'm down about 10 pounds since I started my efforts in October -- not my usual weight-loss rate, but not bad over the holidays, when I could easily have gained that much (as one clothing-store saleswoman put it when I mentioned this, that's like losing 20 pounds!). Another 15 or so to go.
