I don't know if my legs have ever been this sore! I haven't done leg weights since the first week in January so I knew I was going to be sore...but man didn't expect it to be to this degree!! But it's great because I know its working and hopefully I'll start seeing the results...would love these thunder thighs to be skinny, muscular thighs!! :) Before I was only doing weights 2 days/week and I think I am going to increase that to 4 days, 2 of legs & 2 of arms. I really think it will help with my weight loss and who doesn't want to tone?!?! So this will be week 1 of 4 lift days. I'll try not to complain too much about my soreness! </div><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">I had such a great start to my day, I was energized and just really happy! And now tonight I just feel completely drained. I really think I need to start getting to be sooner than 10:30-11ish. I know that sounds crazy to be in bed before 10pm, but to make it up at 5:30am for my workout I really have to! I think I am going to set that as a goal next month, get x hours of sleep each night. </div><br /><div align="left">I made this HUGE list when I was at work today. Whenever I thought of something I wanted to do tonight I jotted it down and wow that list got really long, really fast! So I am working on getting things knocked off it right now!</div><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">I hope everyone had a great Thursday. I am excited...tomorrow's Friday and that means the weekend is SUPER close!!</div></div>

Just curious!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">POINTS = 28<br />WATER = 82 oz<br />EXERCISE = 20 min weights & 20 min run/walk<br /><br />Day 100...hard to believe! Nov 4th doesn't seem that long ago! I really didn't do anything specific Wednesday for my 100th day, I had better intentions...maybe I shoot for the next milestone!<br /><br />I went out for lunch with my friend/co-worker <a href="http://kimcreates.blogspot.com/">Kim</a>. She is now 15 weeks pregnant so it was fun to catch up and hear all about her latest news and cravings!! :) Thanks again for lunch Kim...always good to talk to you!<br /><br />My sister called me around 4pm and invited me & DH to go out with her and one of her good friends (along with their guys) to Third Base Sports Bar for $0.50 tacos & $1.50 margaritas! And of course we said yes!! I love Mexican food and margaritas! Oh and they had free chips & salsa too! We had a great time and was fun to meet my sister's friend...this is one she talks about quite a bit so it will be nice to know her now! I think we'll have more Wednesday nights at Third Base! Wasn't quite within my points range, but I am ok with how I did, only used 5 of my weekly 35 flex points!<br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I am behind on my goals since I was sick last week, but I still wanted to give a quick recap of January's goals.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">1. Attend WW meetings...don't just WI - missed two meetings (sick & had to work)</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">2. Try 4 new WW friendly recipes - didn't try any :( I need to cook more</span><br />3. Eat less in the evenings - definitely getting better, but I think I can improve<br />4. Workout 6 days/week - I averaged 5.6 days/week - need to do better<br />5. 169lbs by 1/31/09 -Achieved 1/31/09 169lbs!!!<br /><br />And here are my February Goals:<br /><br />1. Try 2 new WW friendly recipes - I am just going to for two since I didn't even make 4 last month!<br />2. Eat less in the evenings<br />3. Workout 6 days/week<br />4. 161 lbs by 2/28/09<br /><br />I hope everyone had a great Wednesday! I know I sure did! It's Thursday now, the sun is shining, tomorrow's FRIDAY, DH has the weekend off, and it's Valentines Day on Saturday...what a great day to be alive & kicking!!<br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">I got this in an e-mail from the Biggest Loser and thought it was great because I know women are usually nervous about lifting weights 'cause they don't walk to "bulk up". And to be honest a woman's body isn't built to do that like a man'</span>s body is. So here are some great reasons to "pump some iron"!!<br /></div></div><br /><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: rgb(40, 69, 154);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:180%;" >All the Ladies in the Club...</span></b><br /><b><span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;" >Building muscle is not just for the fellas</span></b> </div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;" >For a long time, gym exercise was divided by gender: women went the aerobic route and men lifted weights. We know now that everyone needs a healthy combination of the two. Just as important for women to get their heart rate up several times a week is the need for them to strengthen their muscles with weights. </span></p><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"></div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;" >Ladies, the next time you think lifting weights is not for you, consider these facts: </span></p><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"></div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;" >Strong muscles mean strong bones. Six months of strength training can increase spine bone mineral density by up to 13 percent. That means you stand taller, feel better, and look slimmer no matter what your age. </span></p><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"></div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;" >Strength training makes you healthy...and happy. Lifting weights helps lower blood pressure, fights diabetes, and even helps prevent depression. </span></p><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"></div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;" >Weight training works fast. Most women start seeing results in as little as three to four weeks. Nothing like visible proof that a plan is working! </span></p><div style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"></div><p style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;"><span style=";font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:130%;" >Lifting weights boosts your energy, too.
