Hi M.M Wow look at you. I didn't evern recognize you until I looked at your profile. You look awesome!!! Diana

Good for you MM! Keep up the good work!

Hi Lori, I walked three miles outside and did 2 miles on my gazelle. Diana

Great Diana! Any plans for movies this week? I might be seeing World Trade Center tomorrow night. I was invited to a sneak preview, just not sure yet if I'm going. I think that will be a sad one. Lori

Hi Lori, Oh you should go. I love sneak movie previews. There are a couple of movies coming out this Friday I want to see. We want to see Talladega Nights. I want to take my neice to see Barnyard. It looks cute. I am debating about The Night Listener with Robin Williams. Have you seen the preview? What do you think? Diana

I also want to see "The Night Listener". I did see the preview and it looks good!

I thought I'd switch it up and do my toning first then cardio. I like to keep the ol' body guessing! lower body toning and abs (I did the original "Buns of Steel" tape with Greg Smithy - it's really full body toning as it includes some upper body work, push ups and crunches - but the main focus is lower body. Let me tell you, he works you good and hard!!) Followed by an hour of cardio dance. My heart rate monitor is on the fritz, so I hope and pray that I stayed in my target heart zone. I can't always tell by my perceived exertion. I think I need a new battery in it.

My trainer wants me to only do 15 minutes of cardio, then my weight lifting/toning, then go back to cardio. She says I'll lift more and push myself harder if I haven't tired myself out so with cardio. I think she is right. So, I've been doing that lately. Your routine looks great though! I also wear a heart monitor. My trainer says I've been working out at too high a heart rate for fate burning. It is hard to slow down when you are used to it, but, I have been on such a stall as far as weight loss goes, I'm willing to try anything! Lori
