sorry i havent replied here in a while.

shai, I think u were right about my heart rate. the machine said it should be 150 and I was taking it up to 160 thinking that I would lose faster if I worked harder. I will stay at my 150 now.

Jon and susanna I think you are also correct in that I wasnt eating enough. I thought it was better than nthing being as Body for Life tells you not to eat before a workout and your results are 300%.

I am now eating 2 eggs and 2 sausage links plus 2-4 glasses of water before the gym. For vitamins I take one a day carbwise, omega-3 and a calcium supliment.I wait atleast an hour after eating before my workout.

after the cruise I am having a hard time getting 30 minutes of cardio. I think its from the altitude though. Friday I managed 26 minutes but I could go no longer. I almost feel asthmatic. Usually I get in 30 and then do my circuit training. I will get back to where I was. I also think maybe I am losing my motivation due to my workout partner having surgery. she should be back in about 3 weeks hopefully. But I need that extra umph sometime.

I will get back into the swing of things.

Thanks so much for all of your support.
