BWTG Cowinkie!
Lilac, I hope you are feeling better. I've btdt with recurrent uti when younger. Are you getting enough water?
Indiana, DH is using the same type bar as you. 2.5 lbs lifting with sore arm is good. DH has to use the lightest hammer now.
Nancy, I'll just bet you get a lot of steps in with your grandkids. How old are they?
MT, weight loss / diets are very much a yo-yo process, don't you think?
I'm having some discomfort off and on, from doing those k. exercises, the ones you can't see...
I guess that means they're working. Sort of like isometrics, having to isolate one set of muscles while keeping 2 other sets relaxed, very difficult.
About the twinkie diet, I do agree that lower calories composed of whatever will assist one to lose weight. However, and here is my present dilema, with my weight loss and then my flurry of very hard work, I put on some pounds probably due to some muscle. So the twinkie guy, will he put pounds back on more quickly when he eats more normally and starts to gain muscle back?
I need to figure out a low calorie diet, one that works to take off the fat and not the muscle. Even though I've put some back on, I'm not noticing a difference in inches (a little, not much) so I know muscle is some component of this. I wonder if there is any research out there about this?
To Nancy: I came to grips having to take a medicine by just not focusing on it, doing it by routine rather than dwelling on the sickness. That helped me.
