Now having typed all that you can get an idea of what I am doing and I won't type this stuff every day. Maybe just the leg routine and that's it all. Just know that I am tryin-hard!!
I am getting my eating under control for the most part. I have to admit that I ate too many WW wheat thins yesterday but my choices are healthy. But hey.....everything is good in the beginning.
I used to love to excerise, I loved it and I never thought I would ever get away from it. Never say never.
I had a zillion excuses, some that were real and huge, some not so much. I think I got tired of struggling, adding the hard work of excerise to my burgeoning list was too much to do.
Anyway here I go. Once I lace up my shoes I'm ready . I wonder how long till I'm back and if I can come back. I'll be 56 thursday. I'm tying Aaron for myself with your help.
Whu-who I feel sore.....

Nice looking workouts! Just think where you will be this time next year...
How are you doing with water? Staying hydrated?
Keep it up!
Great job! Can you move? I find that eating right is easier when I've been exercising. I don't want to waste my hard work on a cookie. Or 10 cookies.
Great start! (How do you remember all that weight stuff you're doing?)
Jeff when I first started excerising my son was in 4th grade and he will be 24 in January. I was trained by a bodybuilder who owned the gym where I had just started taking aerobics. I was HUGE fat. He asked me if I was interested in lifting weights and I said OK. He trained me for free for about 2 years. He preached form form form and remembering what you did and why you did it.
I guess it is like riding a bike you never forget. Now, having said that I haven't excerised consistantly in about 6 1/2 years and I can recite you tons of excerises BUT I still have to excecute them and I'm fat and out of shape.
