Fitness Fridays Health Club #10: Even if you're on the right track...

[christa]

I started at the same time you posted the first thread and have slowly lost a total of 14 lbs which I'm really happy with. Now I can actually wear the old pants I had almost given up hope on----------------------
Now my problem...
I *HATE* to exercise, I mean I really despise it. I've tried different things, I'm even going through the Exercise on Demand I have on cable. Nothing can get me pumped about exercise. We even have a bowflex and I just keep saying "tomorrow" but tomorrow never comes. What can I do? Any suggestions?
I'm getting rid of the fat, now I want to get rid of the flab!

Congrats! I added your 14 lbs to our tally!

Now . . . I don't know much about bowflex, but that is mostly strength training, right? resistance to build muscle? If you want to lose more, you probably need to incorporate some cardio. Do you do any cardio? Walk or anything?

Do you do any cardio? Walk or anything?

Yes I do but I'm not great at it. I walk take both the girls for a 2 mile bike ride each then I take Bon for a one mile walk. It takes me around an hour. Biking is cardio right?

I haven't been posting because I haven't been losing any weight. It seems like this summer I just keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. It's so frustrating but I know it is due to some health issues that I'm hopefully going to get straightend out soon.

As for my weight loss - I lost all my weight from April 2005 to May 2006 so I don't know if it should be included in the grand total but if it can put me down for 78 pounds. I still have more to go but it's just not coming off right now.

I am still going to the gym on a fairly regular basis (when I feel up to it) so at least I'm maintaining my exercise.
