thank you Michael83,

Good information and I will use it. Just got a ton of brown rice for the household, lots of vegies, and good meat. Need to get some plain oatmeal for mornings. Love oatmeal.

IMO, most trainers are like that. They're like car salesman, if you take a test drive and don't buy they act like whiny children. Forget them.

You can learn everything you need to know about eating and weight training online for free. Bodybuilding.com has tons of videos on lifts and proper form.

Try the food planner on Diet Zone section and see if that helps. I created it based on colour coded options and a few bits of common sense stuff listed at the bottom. It might provide something for you to think about :).

One of the things I did after I joined gym was to write down the make and model of their exercise machines. I then went to the manufacturers website and downloaded the manuals for the machines. As a bonus the website had videos on how to use the machines.

Oh gosh, your food planner is SUPER COLORFUL boss man. Its crazy. I forgot about your website. Took me a minute to remember password. I am however reading through the pages of Lasting weight loss . com, SO MUCH READING.

I'm fed up with being so god dam over weight. I feel like im trapped in Fat and i'm struggling to crawl out of the fat suit. I sweat really good today though. I did not go to the gym, I instead took a water taxi out to the city and hiked the steps and all around seattle. Was sweating beads like crazy. Making sure I had small meals every 3 to 4 hours and had lots of water.

Thighs Hurt!!!!

Tomorrow is officially day off, though I will be doing all major chores here at the house which means I will not be just sitting on butt. I think I look a little better in the face. skin seems a lot healthier. I am sweating a lot more than I used to when I am getting exercise. I want to be hot again. motivation is to be sexy. I am SO not sexy right now. But I do feel "sexier" than I did a few weeks ago.

Working on a program now. will post it when I am done. Feeling pretty emotional at the moment. And I'm not Sorry!

Went to the gym Today. i was dropped off by Anthony. Did 8 minutes of warm up on the stairs and bike. some glut machine workout, calves work, arms, back, triceps (which i've never worked really (that was tough) and 15 mintues of Cardio on the elliptical.

Feel good about it. I'm really tired and hungry. Had a salad when I got home.

Feeling really depressed today. all I want to do is eat a bucket of ice cream and watch sad movies. Mother is such a thorn in side. She makes me so angry. I had to cut things off with her. I told her not to show up to wedding and to never call me again.

Here is what happen in short.

I offered to fly sister out for her summer break. mother said no because I would corrupt her and make her hate mother. She's a psycho by the way. I moved out when I was 15 to get away and become a better woman than she could ever be. anyway. I come to find out that sister doesn't even want to come out here because she is afraid it will cause problems with Edanna ( mother) it is difficult to explain all on a message.

Pushed to wits end with this awful Evil woman, I just ended it. I have 22 years of validation to end relationship with her. though all at the expense of not being close with sister. hope is that when she gets older she will see that her big sister is here for her and always has been. What a slap in the face!

I'm going to the gym tonight to do Cardio. Makes me feel better. Can I cry at the gym?

That's a great way to focus your anger - much more productive than eating a bucket of ice cream! Sorry to hear about your mom, that's tough.
