jiffer, I did read most of what they had to say on the site. I know
you can introduce carbs into your diet in small amounts after the
first two weeks. Just that it's not for me.
I'm hoping it's not a plateau. I do know that I haven't been keeping
up. The exercise is sporadic at best right now, and I haven't been
that careful about my diet. I am trying to get back on track, and I
think I overdid the elliptical at the gym yesterday - my legs are
sore :( I think I'll concentrate on upper-body today and give the legs
a rest.
I need to get in the habit of going in the mornings. It's easier to
skip the gym in the evenings, especially with the shorter days :(

72 hours is 3 days. I thought it was ok to work out muscle areas every
other day. Besides, my muscles are sore from the damn elliptical. I
think the resistance was a little higher than I'm used to.

Every other day is what I was told (by my personal trainer) as well.

Yeah, but pro weight trainers tend to use the 'roids, too.

What's the westside barbell method?
I'm guessing since my weight-training is MUCh lighter than a
professional trainer's, every other day should be ok for me?
I went to the gym this morning. 45 minutes on the elliptical (reduced
the resistance a little, since my muscles were a little too sore from
the last time)and upper body training. I figured out the reason I
couldnt' get up in time to get in a workout in the mornings was
because I was going to bed so late. Duh!

That's pretty interesting. And you say the club is in Columbus? Even
more interesting.

What I'd like to know is when is when is it better to exercise, before
or after eating, and how long before or after, especially in the
morning.

I've heard the best time to exercise is in the morning, before
breakfast. This increases metabolism and gets your body into fat-
burning mode at the beginning of the day, and is therefore the most
beneficial. If you can't exercise in the morning, the next best time
is about two hours before the evening meal.
Personally, I like the morning. For one, it wakes me up for the rest
of the day. I'm really raring to go. However, it doesn't seem to work
for my fiance, he says he's usually too tired for the rest of the day.
Also, I prefer to get it done with in the morning so that I don't have
to worry about it till next morning.

Morning Whores are so neglected.
Elliptical crosstrainers are my preferred aerobic workout, but I try to
occasionally switch with the treatmill or bike for variety. I also
like to work a part of the body on weights every session, so I make
sure to trade off between upper and lower body, except on really busy
days at the gym when all of the aerboic equipment is taken, in which
case I do the weight machines. I start up yoga again in the spring, so
the two days I'll have class (I'll be paying for two sessions a week
instead of one) will be days off from the gym, since the Iyengar
instructor is really intense.
Thankfully I've sharply reduced my fast food intake again. I prefer to
eat none at all, but currently I'm once or a week at lunch time.

I need to go back to the gym. I have sorely neglected it what with my
obsession with PS2 and CivIII. I haven't been able to wake up early
enough to go. CivIII keeps me awake late into the night.
Also, I've started eating a little more take-out. However, I still
haven't put any weight back on. Which is a good thing.

The only way I was able to break my CivIII addiction was to take
up an even more addicting game. :)
I'm subject to similar temptations/excuses with regard to my own
exercise program. But I find that regular exercise makes a huge
positive difference in my sense of well-being, both physical and
mental. So I hope Sapna sticks with it.

I hope to return to the gym tomorrow morning. Keeping fingers crossed.
CivIII - What praises should Ising. I've moved my empire up to rank
number 2, though I haven't won any wars. And I can't wait to go home
and play. But iwbg.
What game did you take up to break your CivIII addiction, remmers?

It's about killing monsters. KILL KILL KILL!
Well, there's also a plot that goes along with it, concerning
a quest to save the universe from this evil dude called the Dark
Savant who looks and acts uncannily like Darth Vader.
The Wizardry series goes back over 20 years to Wizardry I, an
Apple II "hi-res graphics" game that was very popular in the early
1980s. I was addicted to that one too. Wiz 8 has all the latest
whiz-bang technological features: 3D graphics, stereo sound,
ultra-smooth animation, but without losing the basic feel of
Wiz I and its numerous successors.

Hmmm.. I've never been into anything that is faintly "fantasy". But
wow - it survuved 20 years. That's got to say something for the game.
I'm also hooked to Need For Speed on PS2 and DDR (Don't laugh. Very
geeky arcade game, now on PC)
