Intro and question

[Guest guest]

Since I have so many questions, I thought I should introduce myself. I’m

Lori, 45 y.o., mom of 2 ,ages 11 and 12, happily married for 20 years. I

have never really had a weight problem except for child bearing years. I

have tried every diet in the book, looking to lose those nasty 20 pounds

that I still carry around today. Seems like once I hit 40, my metabolism

has left the building…. I am 5’5” and currently weight 150 pounds.

So, 1 month ago, I hired a personal trainer and train with her 2 times a

week for an hour each time. We are using hand held weights, stability ball,

resistance bands and of course boxing gloves :-) Besides those 2 days, I am

trying to get at least (1) 4.5 mile walk in on the weekends and then a

circuit training video on the other weekend day. I know I should get

another walk or 2 in during the week but my sessions with my trainer require

me to rest the body the day after…. I am hoping to become stronger as time

goes on.

Could you look at what I had for breakfast this morning and let me know if I

need to adjust it??

½ large grapefruit

½ cup fat free cottage cheese sprinkled with splenda and cinnamon

8 pecan halves

I am trying to come up with some breakfasts that I like that I can use

during the week so I don’t waste a lot of time in the morning trying to

figure out what I should eat.

Thanks,

~Lori
