Happy Birthday Ashley!!

I hope you have a great birthday! Have a little cake. Really! But just a little! I managed to do 3 workouts this week. Only they were on the elliptical thing and for 40 minutes each. My heart rate was in the range it was susposed to be in. Ashley, I have some ty boe dvds if you want them. I used them once and I HATE them. I don't like doing exercises like that.

Going to that L3 has been better for me. I can put on my headphones and watch tv and forget about how much longer I have left on the timer and just go. I just have to remember to keep breating really well. That's my battle.

Jennifer, you were right about the legs being the biggest muscle group and they do burn more calories when you work them and when they're in shape. They will work for you. Jorge and I read a book called From Fat To Fit this summer and that's what it said too. His dr told him to read it and we did. The dr that wrote the book said to do a minimum of 12 minutes with your heart rate in the proper zone. And that going much over 40 minutes doesn't do really any good until you're really in shape. His book suggested to do whatever activity that you want that works your legs well and can be aerobic for you . . . that you can do for around 30 minutes. So I keep getting my fat ole self on the elliptical and hauling. I try to beat my distance time and I have each time. Not by much, but by a little each time. We'll see how next week goes. Keep up that sweatin'! Ya'll inspire me!
