A word about Smith machines -

Good for some things, but lousy for squats. Stick to free barbells for those and save your knees.

Now I've got a REALLY weird image in my head!!!

I hear you on enjoying food though. I usually do it 6 tmes a day (eat that is! ) which is a lot of time wasted if I'm not enjoying it!

You think YOU do! I can't even BRING myself to tell Hubby!

BTW Dor, nice Bi in that pic

Umm, no clue about the smith machines. I'll have to check. I've ventured into the weight room twice. Once was just to look around, another time was to spot a friend of mine while she did some bench presses. I've gotta eat more. I've only been getting in 3 meals a day the past few days. Too much work and not enough eating!!! I agree that we really shouldn't enjoy food this much when we're "dieting". I am absolutely in love with grilled cauliflower drowned in butter. It's absolutely wonderful

Aw thanks hun! I'm quietly proud.

So far things are going good. Hubby and I were wrestling the other day and he was trying to pry me off a door jamb (don't ask) and I told him to use all his force and he said he was. LOL, I guess that means I'm stronger than he is now I did my upper body today and then went swimming for 20 minutes. That really kicked my butt! But what a total body workout. Even my abs are sore. I've vowed to ride my bike to and from work for the rest of the summer rain or shine. So I'll cut down on cardio in the gym and do more outdoor stuff. It's much easier to exercise when it's nice outside than in a stuffy gym surrounded by a bunch of sweaty people. Talk to you all later, I'm off to play outside

You are doing fantastically, Cori!

Cori - that's so FUN, isn't it?

And yes, cardio outside is really where it's at. Especially when it's so nice outside. It DOES feel like playing.

Glad you're having fun

my favourite example, but bear in mind she's lean for the competition:
