Thank you
I have been fighting this weight thing for quite some time. I am kind of hoping that if I get my weight down, that I won't have to fight the blood sugar quite so hard, that it won't be so difficult to control. I have lost 21 or 22 pounds since March 1. It is coming off slowly, but atleast it is coming off. I go to the gym almost everyday. I think I am becoming a gym rat, but I guess there is worse things that I could do with my time.

Oh yeah, and when you are feeling bad about not losing weight fast enough, buy an orchid. Works to boost the spirit every time.  |

Leg Press to be delivered next Wednesday
And I am really excited about it. I have been wanting to add one of these to our gym equipment for a long time. I got plenty of weights to go with it, too. Man, those things are expensive!! Three hundred forty pounds of weights was about $450.  Makes you wonder where the dumb bell is in this picture.  |

Modified my treadmill workout today
Since I have no bike where I workout on Sunday, I have a mile warm-up on the treadmill. I changed it a little bit today to get my heart rate up somewhat.
5 minutes 0-2% incline
1 minute 4% incline
1 minute 5% incline
1 minute 10% incline
2 minutes 5% incline
1 minute 10% incline
1 minute 5% incline
1 minute 10% incline
2 minutes 5% incline
5 minutes 2-4% incline
Then, I was raring to go for a 45 minute session with the weights. |

I finally got my leg press/hack squat machine
And I really like it. The only problem is, I will have to buy some new weights soon. I can all ready lift all the weight I bought. My brother has some more, but I will probably have to buy about 150#. (limit of machine is 500#)  |

I am trying to wear the bike out
at the gym. I had 121 miles this week, in addition to three workouts and four miles on the treadmill. It has really helped me to lose a bunch of weight--14 or 15 pounds in 15 weeks.  |
