  • Great topic! I've just begun my strength training journey, but I am so inspired by each of you! I hate running but want to be strong and in great shape. I want my daughters to see their mom as healthy and strong. Not a mom who goes on crazy diets and obsesses over the scale.

  • Thanks for the advice, especially about hydrating beforehand. Hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Hopefully I can also make time to get in a good workout Friday morning before we leave.

  • Awesome post and encouragement. I'm getting back into shape and have stuck with running, biking, swimming, yoga and zumba, but I am a post 2 kids, flabby-skinny. I hope to get toned rather than lose much weight (5'7" and 140 lbs). Just ordered Starting Strength and look forward to my first visit to the "other side."
