Good Day Mates,

The back fat is steadily melting away and I'm liking it! (the melting away part, of course).

Today will be my 5th consecutive day working out. Yesterday I did 30 minutes on the eliptical and I did 84 walking lunges. Of course, my glutes, hams & quads are pretty sore today, but not as sore as they are going to be tomorrow! I used to do 160 walking lunges twice a week, in the not so distant past.

This morning I did 35 min on the stairmaster; 30 minutes on the recumbant bike and 20 minutes of arms (strength training).

I'm feeling stronger and more determined, each day. Again, I am especially encouraged by your comments. I find that telling you what I am planning to do, keeps me compliant, therefore:

Tomorrow I plan to walk for 45 min on the treadmill at 11% & 3.5 mph & do chest & back.

I'm hanging in there with the 5-6 small meals/day. I've been spending too much money on my meals though. I will find time this weekend to develop a menu for the week, go grocery shopping and therefore, prepare meals several days in advance.

Be encouraged Lynn. You can do it!

Holla!
