Hiyah Pink. Saw your note in my gym log and decided to stop by. Seems you're doing great :thup: You sound motivated and very determined :) I'm amazed you're managing all this on just Induction level carbs - you're very fortunate.

More or less cardio is a matter of choice. I've done months of fat loss w/o any cardio and other months with more than average. I firmly believe that change is what works - if you keep doing the same thing over and over you can get into a rut. Alternating high intensity and moderate intensity cardio is also a good idea - they both burn calories but effect metabolism and fat burning differently. Again, variety and the spice of life and all that :) And then again, some days all I can do is cardio - the muscles are still too sore to do anything else :rolleyes:

Keep up the good work!
Nat

hey Pink
 

I just thought I would also stop by after your kind note in the Fitness log.
My inspiration to stay motivated and consistent with my workout is my sister Tanya, also TigerSue on the board.
She has PCOS and. over the course of a 6 month period, using consistent exercise at home lost 12 pounds.
Now that doesn't seem like alot..but for someone with PCOS that is the world.
She is still consistent.. so its a great example of what exercise can do :-)
Stop by anytime!

Thank you for your kind words. I kinda keep this log to motivate myself and forget others read it!!! I had some work done on my uterus, but I expect all is well. I am taking penicillen and antibiotics which could be responsible for the stall....only 5 days left. I am doing great tho....just want to see the scale move!! Take Care and thanks again.

Feel good...sometimes a little dizzy...will resume regular exercise tomorrow. Ate a couple of bad things today...a rice krispie square (tiny one) and some nuts and crackers....blame it on the superbowl. Out of my system...I am fine now. I won't give up.

Forgot to mention...the last two days I have added 3 cups of green tea to my diet...I heard it will help my metabolism.
