July 30, 2011 at 12:21 pmLOVE that do what works for you because that is how I feel – find what your own bod likes & learn from that.
I am different in that doing a bit more works for me. I need more cardio than a lot of people that eat clean like me & also lift weights as seriously as me. I was like this when I was younger & age makes it even more so. IT is what it is so I go with it. I guess I could eat 1200-1400 calories but I don’t want to. I eat pretty dang clean but I do want to eat more & enjoy my healthy breads & treats so I do a bit more. Heck, I love the weights so that is fine with me – the cardio is not my fave but I do it.
I always listen to the bod though! Yes to doing what is right for you!

July 30, 2011 at 3:11 pmI wish I told myself to be patient. Getting fit (and losing weight) takes time to do it right and keep it right.

July 30, 2011 at 7:35 pmKinda needed to hear that today *shame* It’s funny how I have to keep learning the same lessons over and over… yeah, overtaining. Sigh.
Karla says
July 30, 2011 at 8:01 pmUh oh, I am just going to start lifting. Will I be saying this in a few years???
Nettie says
July 31, 2011 at 4:07 amI train too hard and quit too.
Can you share how you don’t do that any more?
My waistline needs you!!!
Kimberley says
July 31, 2011 at 9:56 amWhen I am setting my goals for next week (later today), I will keep this in mind. I “may” have been overdoing it.

July 31, 2011 at 5:31 pmDo you want to succeed or do you want to be laid-up and in pain for months? Huh, which one do you think I chose those few years ago.

August 3, 2011 at 4:53 pmI really really wish I had started weight training at the beginning. I waited too long (and only because I was injured and couldn’t run) and the benefits are sooo important!
