I did do weights quite a lot last time I lost weight so I should do it again.Sharynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756996252789950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12590114.post-30397318889450179102008-09-09T13:01:00.000+12:002008-09-09T13:01:00.000+12:00First post FAIL!It looks like I will have to get u...First post FAIL!<BR/>It looks like I will have to get up earlier next time.<BR/><BR/>I don't think you're starting again, think about where you are now versus where you were. You're at a midpoint in the journey and if you just keep muddling on bit by bit then you'll get to whatever goal weight you have in your mind.<BR/><BR/>Besides, it seems like we all need each other. I've found it harder to be motivated lately at going to the gym so why don't we all use our common difficulties to team up? You, Sumo and I all go to the same gym, so why don't we coordinate more times doing weights together? That's where I agree with Andrew: building muscle amplifies the weight-loss benefit of how much your body burns at rest, in activities, as well as the fact that strength-training increases your metabolism for around 12 hours afterward.<BR/><BR/>You're doing well tho. As U2 sing, "Of science and the human heart there is no limit. / There is no failure here sweet-heart, just when you quit."<BR/><BR/>As YOU told me, when you can't run you jog, and when you can't jog you walk. But the old saying goes further, when you can no longer walk then you get somebody else to carry you. I can think of a few relational beings who would approve.Iainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098216305649347619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12590114.post-18771409638680596142008-09-07T13:12:00.000+12:002008-09-07T13:12:00.000+12:00It's interesting you think of a scary aspect to be...It's interesting you think of a scary aspect to being happy. I guess happiness manifests itself in different ways for different people. :)<BR/><BR/>For me, happiness is more explicit in when I experience it, I'm happy when I'm in nature and can clear my mind and pay attention to how amazing life is, it's not something I can lose as such. I don't really go through happy phases of life and less-happy phases..<BR/><BR/><BR/>And I hope this isn't patronising, but <A HREF="http://stumptuous.com/cms/index.php" REL="nofollow">here</A> is a link to an encouraging site about weights for women. it's not about getting muscley, but it might be something to think about, the benefits of more muscle mass on your body are pretty big, including increasing the amount of energy you burn on a daily basis just by existing. It's pretty awesome, all women should do weights, it's insane that they don't :)<BR/>It's just very easy to add muscle mass compared to exercising all the time (not that it replaces it of course, but it's better than nothing), and if you buy cheap warehouse weights you can do them at home in the lounge!Andrew and Alice Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198386556825874005noreply@blogger.com
