Wahoo..I (was) back on track!!  

*gained the weight back I lost from when I was sick two weeks ago.

*incorporated new exercises into my routine and I've been hitting the legs.  BTW..I hate working my legs.

*8/10 days I've been to the gym.  [thumbsup]

Of course, I may have f'ed it up though earlier today as I jacked up my foot kicking field goals!  [roll]  

I have a feeling I won't be walking much the next couple of days.   >:(

I heard that!  That's why I ride a bike.

I am still losing weight.  I do not wish to lose weight.  My body fat does not appear to be changing, so that has... unfortunate implications.

Mild threadjack (sorry) but does anyone have opinions about home workout equipment? For instance are those Bowflex Revolution things any good? They're sure as hell expensive!
Also, any ellipticals that ya'll like?

My only thoughts on Bowflex type stuff is check craigslist.  There are ALWAYS a few going cheap around here.  As for ellipticals, I don't much like em in general.

I have a Total Gym at home, I like it and have used it for years.

If I were to have some cardio at home (which I wouldn't, don't need to, between the biking and the running), I would go for a rowing machine.

I think they're only as good as you make them. Most people buy them and don't use them. I suspect they're too convenient. "I'll do it later...I'll do it later...." etc. If you have to make time to go to the gym, it helps create good habits.



Also it's terribly motivational to be surrounded by hot broads in spandex.

Motivation and proper workout attire are extremely important.  You got to get in the right mindset in order to get fit:

Do you really think I would work out anywhere else wearing those shoes and socks?
