Caution!...My1stPosting

[Guest guest]

This is my first posting. I've been sort of sitting back seeing how this all works, not really wanting to bother anybody. But I like that I'm sort of reporting to someone, and being held accountable, because besides you all, nobody knows whether I work out or not. So, I'm in my 3rd week "ever", and I'm amazed at the differences I see in my body. Anybody that's ever been overweight can understand the weird forms of measurement I use. Like, when I look down the side of my body I can't see my fat roll sticking out without leaning over now. Or maybe that's just me. Or when I bend forward the gap just above the fat between my thighs is bigger. And when I pinch my fat roll it doesn't fill the space between my Index finger and my thumb anymore. Or maybe you relate with a more normal one, which is that I actually have triceps and biceps now. I would really like to stop this thing that I do, that sort of disappoints me, and sometimes excites me: Am I the only one, or does everybody look at themselves in the mirror front and back with an extra hand mirror after every workout? I know that it's ridiculous, and I want to stop, but I can't. I don't expect a dramatic difference everyday, but I hope for one. I really did not want to write this much, especially after I saw all of the short postings. Forgive me, but my husband is in Iraq, and I have a 16 month old son, so anytime I come into contact with someone over 13 I have to have as much adult conversation as possible. So, today I did the Cardio Live in the Bootcamp series, I have never followed the calendar that came with it, but I'm doing pretty well. I've done one tape at least 5 days a week, I'm shooting for 6. Is that overdoing it? I read that you should rest to let muscle build? Thank you all for reading. Kee-Kee
