Aren't you glad that you don't have a snow blower? Think of all the exercise that you'd be missing.

no kidding shoveling snow works my body harder then anything i do in my regular work out... mostly the places that I dont work out as much like my shoulders upper back and chest. I love it

It's also a hell of a great core workout.

this is true... but i'm not feeling it there so much... probably because I already focus a lot on that area to help my balance and posture so its used to it

the place I feel it the most actually is that place where your chest and arpit meets... where that little bit of chub tends to hang out lol... weird...

I hate having chub there! It's one of the LAST places to get lean!

You are so cool Snow shoveling, 198-pound DIVA!

yeah mines finally deminishing slowly faster on the left then the right :S
BTW, LOVE your new Avi!

Oh thanks but they're not mine!

thats okay... I liked your sweaty chest picture too!

Oooh, dirty girl!

shh.. I'm trying to play the tame housewife roll

Awww rats! Boo!

Umm a bit of an update...

I'm really enjoying my treadmill. it's allowing me to get in several extra hours of excersize per week as well as excersize on the weekends that i never got before. I'm starting to try to amp it up a bit. I've been walking at a very comfortable 1.5 KM/hr for usually about half an hour at a time... today i had it at 2 Km which was definately out of my comfort zone, just short of jogging, and had me sweating within the first 5-10 minutes.soon i'll start running a few minutes here and there. I'm trying to remember not to take it too fast, it has been SEVERAL years since i've ran for more then a few seconds and I hear it's not a good idea to push yourself too far too fast.

I do have to refocus my attention to my strength training, i've been slacking a little. just barely getting in my hour for the challenge this week so i need to remember to keep that up at least 3 or 4 days a week...

I wan't to focus a little more on actually practicing some yoga instead of the just few poses i do on wii fit. so I'm looking into getting some DVD's I can do a few days a week since i have no time for an actual class... I'm just hoping to get something of decent quality... I dont like half ass concepts, I want something very thourough and descriptive to help get the full feeling and mindset.

I'm doing pretty well with my calorie counting, however i did have a day yesterday where i got up to 2000, my original max. so today i decided to try to counter that with a 1500 calorie intake today.

I do want to tighten up WHAT i'm consuming a bit... I feel I've been a litt TOO free with myself... basically right now I have myself set where i'll eat ANYTHING as long as it's under my max calorie limit. so that means i can have a chocolate bar or chips or ANYTHING i want EVERY DAY, as long as it fit within my limits... and that just doesn't seem quite right... i dont think i could let go of my night time treat just yet... but perhaps i should stick to the caramel rice cakes and other rice cake treats...

Anywho, those is me thoughts for the week

despite being in the middle of my period i did weigh in another pound down at 197.2... progress is steady just the way I like it!!

I'm thinking that your treadmill has to be on miles per hour. 2 km per hour is only 1.2 miles per hour.
