From Cocoon to butterfly

Ok, Monday went really well for me. I got the treadmill going a little faster this time. I want to thank nancy for the blog she posted about the people who were doing the exercises wrong. I really learned from that and now applying the knowledge to what I am doing. But I made myself go and do my class last night and then while waiting for hubby to pick me up, did some more exercising and it felt good! Now, just to get into more of a routine in doing that. I have been doing a lot of thinking and I am tired of playing around the 138s to 145’s. I am ready to move on and downward. I am now ready to hit the 120’s so that is my goal that I am shooting for now. To get there.

Ok, questionf or all you that do exercises. The gym I go to is not knowledgable in helping you find the right equipment and all that so I am going to ask you guys. My body has slimmed down in most of my parts but the one part that is still out there is my thighs! When I wear the exercise pants, whew, do you see the thunder from them! yikes! I know they will go down as I get my weight down more but I want to know what is a good exercise for them. My ballet teacher says squats will help and also leg lifts. Ok, what about machinese? I looked over the machinese at the gym and hoenstly, I have no idea. I don’t want to make them bigger and such so what can help slim them down? Don’t just ell me the name, describe the machine because I have no idea about these kind of things.

My husband got me a great gift yesterday. It wasn’t a christmas gift per se but hey, I will take it as it is. He got me another mp3 player. THe reason was I was using his grandmother’s (she is tech. challanged and quit using it) but it was only good for maybe 2 hours and then no power. Constantly charging it all the time was a pain. PLus, I wanted to listen to music while on the airplane and that is a good 20 something hours in total of all three. Well, get home yesterday and he bought me another one that is good for at least 16 hours , at least that is what he says> We shall see. But I am tickled he did that for me and he knows I use it for exercising at hte school and gym also so I am pleased with it. So , great present.
