It takes a commitment to health, and heavy-duty prioritizing that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>One thing that helped me a lot was having a workout partner - one of those big guys you're referring to, and my friend from work; however, his work schedule has changed, and of course I've lost my job so I'm on my own again - it's so much better to have someone to partner with - it helps with the commitment, encouragement and sometimes they remember something you don't. I really saw amazing results in working this way.<BR/><BR/>At my gym, we can get re-assessed every 8 weeks - I usually do this about once every three months or so, and have progressed each time, which is also very motivating. I do some cardio, but feel that with all of the Ballroom dancing I do, this is the cardio bit for me.<BR/><BR/>Maybe by the time school starts again, you'll have your routine/schedule in place enough to keep going - as I said, especially if you start to see results - that helps a lot.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!<BR/><BR/>Aunt LaurieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9316590.post-73303980261421288702007-07-17T16:27:00.000-07:002007-07-17T16:27:00.000-07:00I'm so proud of you.
