But things are getting better, I have been working out 5to6 days a week trading off on a 3 day split,8 to 12 reps,. 1-push, 2-pull, 3 rest and do stomach and calves much as I can. Today is my other day. I am back and forth on 178lbs to 180lbs at this point, but the metabolism has speed up. I need to be at about 170lbs and then strick form and possibly yogo for flexability. I am reading up on work out books and mag. for motivation and correct forms. i am trying to do more beach vollyball adn hiking for cardio to increase metabolism. And because the antibiotic I am taking for my teeth, I have not been drinking. That hs help out a lot but my life is boring, seems like I am living at the gym at thsi point. Adn going to Aroma, where they make it easyer to workout, gives you work out close and has a sauna for afterwards. I do need to take my work out to the next level in the next few weeks to accomplish my goal.

Don't use heavy weights and don't strain since your goal is to lose weight, not gaining it. Beach volleyball and hiking are good for cardio, but if you want an intense workout, traditional jogging will more than suffice. Stretching is vital, too. If one can't touch the floor, in standing position, with one's fingers, it is unacceptable! The goal is to touch one's head to the knees and holding it for at least 5 seconds. Many people skip this part, but I highly recommend it after every workout--not just 5 or 10 minutes. At least, 30 minutes in the beginning, and don't "bounce". This stage is reserved for advanced level. After giving it a good stretch, your body is relaxed. You will notice how "light" your body is when walking. In 6 months time, you will definitely feel it!! The hardest part is not giving up, and of course, watch your intake!!!! Then, shall we....Let's Roll!!!!!
