What Weight Lifting Has Done For Me

First of all, seeing all these responses first thing this morning has made my day!

Anyway, to answer your question

Your story is really inspiring and you look awesome. Just one question - how many times do you do strength training and how many times cardio? Do you follow any specific program?

For the first month, I did a standard 3 x a week Cycle of

A: Squats, Bench press, Cable rows
B: Deadlift, Military Press, Pull ups (Wide grip lat pull down for me, since I can't pull my own body weight yet)

But after throwing a hissy fit at the squat rack, because I wasn't losing weight.. My husband decided to change it up

Now we follow the Kris Gethin 12 week Transformation on Bodybuilding. com .. Just the weight training schedule, though. Not the cardio or eating program. I still eat whatever I want in moderation.. and I have seen CRAZY results in just the first 2 weeks of it. Some of the exercises are like "What the heck is he smokin?" but it's obvious it works. He does a 2 day on, 1 day off routine.

For my cardio, I don't do hardly any.. Just about 10 minute warm up on weight training days, and maybe one or two 45 minute cardio sessions, depending on how my week looks.
