I noticed the arm toning and sit-ups, but no specifics on the lower body. When I work with my trainer, he has me combine lower body and upper body exercises to speed things up. (i.e. a squat combined with a bicep curl.) I like anything that can kill two birds with one stone.karen@fitnessjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161983893717225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-35514069492138616152010-01-10T06:08:16.455-07:002010-01-10T06:08:16.455-07:00I love this post!

You are amazing, and I am so jealous! I remember clearly the day I got rid of all my baggy clothes, and it was weird, not planned, it just happened. I realised in a moment "Why am I keeping these? "In case I get fat again"?!?!! SERIOUSLY?!?! WT..." I knew immediately they had to go. I gave mine to charity, which I is, of course, a good thing, but to actually BURN THEM! What a feeling that would have been. <br /><br />Congrats on the new you - and your water, and sit ups, and exercise, and eating, and - CONGRATS! You are kicking serious booty!

I have been seriously thinking about your comment on my blog the other day...letting go of the image of the old me, and embracing the new me.<br /><br />I realized that when I looked at old photos, I would look to see the weight gains... and skimmed over those few times I was briefly down a bit. So, I am going to use those few "thinner" photos to help me form a new future image.<br />Thank you for that, Chris. It's very meaningful to me.<br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-59980800766576853352010-01-08T22:36:04.077-07:002010-01-08T22:36:04.077-07:00Great job girl!!

It's part of what's brought you here today, but that doesn't mean you can't look back and wish you'd made better choices. However, wasting a wish on what can never be doesn't make sense when you ARE making better (the best) choices for yourself now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-69495338980759977432010-01-08T22:13:58.487-07:002010-01-08T22:13:58.487-07:00I see it kind of like God's forgiveness toward...I see it kind of like God's forgiveness toward us.
