Hi All!!
I am so excited to be on MFP!!! I am TWO weeks out Yesterday and I am now down a total of 11 pounds!!! Woot!!! Woot!!!
I have to say I was soooo worried about the fitness part of it. Lets face it ... treadmill for an hour is soooooo boring its insane!! I had to find a way I can get in my fitness but it not be boring. I found a great partner (my sister in law) who wants to get in shape too!! so that is a HUGE help!! We decided to mix it up!! We go Monday 1 hour bike rides (we meet at beautiful trails along the grand river); Tues & thursdays we do aqua fit at the local rec centre and its soooo much fun!! Wednesday we power walk along the trails and friday its bking back to the trails!! I just love it!!! its a great mix, great company, we have fun and i truly look forward to it and best of all its a great burn. If you dont have a buddy dont worry about it!! I would do it with my ipod and if she cant go due to our schedules I do go alone.
Just wanted to share a great way to LOVE excercising!! what a rush!!!

Wow, that is really a great workout program for you, and it is a plus that you got an exercise buddy to go with you, I don't have any such luck here, and I wont go it alone because I get to spooked and there isn't any place around me that does water stuff, so it is the Treadmill, & Wii for me although I try to change it up a bit by going for walks with my boyfriend sometimes, but at least I am moving and not sitting around ...keep Up the great work!!!!!
