I'm with y'all! I haven't gained any weight, but I have lost a bit of muscle and replaced it with - *gasp* fat. I want my 6-pack back in time for Mr. LI84's sister's wedding in July, so I will be trying to get my workout shedule re-started!

Plans:
1. Exercise 3 days/week at LEAST. 2 days MINIMUM of weights (upper/lower body split) followed by 30-40 minutes of cardio and one day of just cardio

2. Watching what I eat. My diet is not bad at all, I eat a lot of veggies and fruits, whole grains, etc. Unfortunately I also eat a lot of chocolate and cookies, lol. I just have to start drinking less juice, cutting back with the sweets (VERY difficult when you go into Whole Foods and they are waving those cookies under your nose) and puttig the protein back! Dating a vegetarian has had a HUGe effect on my protein intake and i am trying to get back into the habit of having protein shakes for breakfast and regular portions of lean protein during the day.

3. Upping my activity level. This is easy, since the weather is nice. Instead of going to the bookstore after work, I'll go for a walk. I can go to the train station that is a bit farther away from work in the afternoons, and take the stairs instead of the elevator. Mr. LI84 lives 15 minutes away from the beach, perfect for walking, biking or any outdoor activities. He is REALLY active, so he is always up for a walk or a hike (although he is laboring under the delusion that I will go ROCK CLIMBING with him- I seriousl doubt this will ever happen)

I am not planning on any drastic changes, just going to cut back and be active.

What happened to all the folks on the Weight Watchers plan, and the folks who were starting out at Bally's?

Hellooooooooooooooooo! Are you out there!
