Thanks friend! Nope, I don't get in all those calories. But I am noticing that when I do a "super push" workout once a week, I lose the most weight the following week. I did have one of my favorite Chili's meal split with my husband and a little left over for him to take to work the next day. I also had an extra glass of milk, yogurt ice cream that night, an extra banana early in the morning, and I nibbled 1/4 piece of chocolate. YUM!

I managed to eat some of them, but I ran out of tummy room well before calories. YUM!

Do you normally eat your exercise calories?

- I look like a Saint Bernard when I run since I am new at running, hardly any rhythm at all.

I laughed SO hard after reading that. I'm glad I'm not the only person in the world that is challenged when it comes to running in a correct or even NORMAL LOOKING way!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This is me, too! I work out at a gym where there is a guy who runs triathlons. When I told him I am starting to be able to run a little better, he looked at me and said, "Of course you can run. We are all runners." I replied, "No, no. You know when you see someone on the side of the road jogging and they look like they are in a whole lot of pain and probably shouldn't be doing that? That is what I look like when I run." :laugh: So glad to know there are others in the same boat as me!!! (By the way, I now try to mostly stick to spinning classes. Not quite so hard on my joints!)

YOu exercised that long in ONE DAY? sheesh, I can barely manage an hour a day! You are admired!

Don't worry about what your scale says to you, and certainly change the self-talk, babe (and you are a babe, make no mistake). Me, at 168 lbs, I talk to myself all the time -- "I may look goofy with two three pound weights walking 3mph down the ghetto streets, but I'm gonna look fine as f in two months while all these other cows are still sitting on their porches with 200lbs stuffed into 5lbs worth of spandex..."

It really does work.
