Hey Lisa,

Stumbled upon your exercise journal and must say way to go! you are doing so good! I can almost hear those abs firming up from here!!!



You know, it's always good to mix it up, the more you change up the better the results!

later,

Men in the gym log!!! Hurray! Thanks Carl - trying to get this body firm for the last size down!

One mile on the elliptical skiier -13 minutes (had to get off-- insane doggies stuck in the house because of the rain started licking me and fighting with each other).

Will try to do abs later.

Hurray down 1.75 inches since February 22nd!

Today: 20 minute walk w/ doggies this morning and about a half hour of yard cleanup work. Did sweat although not a great workout.

But my goal is to sweat everyday so doing ok.

I mean sweetie... lol That is a great goal, I'm so glad I work in an environment, where if I run for 30 mins at lunch, and I do get sweaty, I don't really have to worry about a shower, I just "air dry" ..... did you know if you walk outside in -50 deg windchill in a tee shirt that's sweaty and your hair is soaked with sweat that by the time you walk to the other door (about 30 feet) that your shirt will freeze and so will your hair....?? If I scrub my head with my hands it looks like dandruff coming off my head, but as soon as you're inside it just melts, hee hee, sweat ice crystals....

You must think me weird...

later,
