Well I have reached the 40 lb mark for weight loss, and I have returned and met with Terrina (the YMCA trainer), and received my new workout routine. It is BRUTAL, I was so sore last night.
Any way I went there this morning for my cardio workout (on the days in between the cardio-weights), and she gave me the figures on what I have attained. She measures you everywhere, and uses a thing that pinches you to measure body fat, and then gives you the results. According to her figures I have accomplished this in 6 weeks:
Of course I had lost almost 20 pounds when I started the working out, so it all adds up to where I am at. Terrina was ecstatic as I am now officially her most successful client over the first 6 weeks.
A visit to the doctor last week indicated a HDL cholesterol of 2.5 with an over all of 3.4 which is about the same as before but my HA1C (diabetes check) is the best it's been in 5 years at 6.4.
So I am getting somewhere but still have 60 + lbs to go....

Posted by: Arcterex at May 22, 2004 10:55 PMThanks guys, I need all the encouragement I can get. Fact is that I gained a lot of weight the last few years, and what I have lost only takes me down to about where I was when i was hired at Merilus.
So, I have a long way to go until I am little, but I am heading there, only about 65lbs more to go. I will celebrate when I am past teh 60 pound mark.
Hehe, I was so sore today again, after going through a full workout. A few hours after I came home I got up to go out and my legs were jello.
