Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I am sore in different areas tonight!
I worked arms and abs tonight. I was also able to jump on the treadmill. I walked 2 miles in 40 minutes. I was really proud of that! I am the most sore from the torso rotation. I have had two hernia surgeries and am over-cautious about my stomach. I kind of baby any lifting or anything that will require having to really stretch those muscles. BUT, I know it is time to do something about them to strengthen them. It has been almost two years since the last surgery. I used almost no weights (10-15lbs). When it started to really hurt, I stopped ratehr than push things.
I still feel good--mostly a sense of accomplishment. Hopefully the rain will stop tonight, or I will be begging my D17 to come over so I can go up and get on the treadmill again for my cardio.
Thank you again, Brave! I needed a way to keep myself motivated and you are really helping me with that.

Don't worry about the weight you are using, it will increase in time. Concentrate on good form and technique, that's the most important thing right now! Listen, you should feel proud of yourself! It took a lot of guts to get in there and work to make a change in yourself! Don't expect it tomorrow, but at the same time, allow yourself to have the miracle that you are looking for!! You told me earlier that you were overweight, I don't know how much, and you don't have to say if you don't want to, and it really doesn't matter. If you will dedicate yourself for 1 year, I swear to you, you will be a total different person!! Take a picture of yourself today, keep it where you and only you can look it it. Write on it March, 20th 2010. That is when you take the next one and compare them! Keep up the AWESOME WORK!! If I can help let me know, and please keep me informed!!!
