I was going to go to the local college and get my body fat measurement taken in a bod pod, but then I found out that I'd have to do it in a bathing suit, and I don't own one. The kid on the phone said I could do it in my underwear if I wanted to, that it wouldn't bother him I decided to just stick with the scale.

About 3 weeks ago I started working on my health. I've dropped 10 lbs and am starting to get my muscle tone back. Man I miss the shape I was in back at college.

Every morning after I drop the older kids off at school I go to the local Y and work out. Everyday I do cardio on the bike machine for 30 minutes, and every other day I do weight lifting (upper body).

I throw in some pilates/yoga for my core every so often. Thinking of upping that to an every day thing though for about 30-40 minutes.

Schedule is all off today (my wife had an appointment this morning), so only did upper body weight lifting today.

Will make up the lack of cardio with pilates at lunch for 30-40 minutes.

Edit: Did my pilates at lunch, really felt great.

only 50 lengths today (just under a mile) - apparently after 7pm the pool turns into a teenage mating ground

Going to go on a 7 mile walk pretty soon today. Goal: to lose 20 pounds by the end of summer. Once my gravel roads are less soggy I will start riding my bike those 7 miles. Rotate walking then biking 3 to 4 days a week.

OK so Browncoat suggested I come on here for a lil motivation, so here I am. For the first time in my life, I am considered OVERWEIGHT!

So, I am 42, have never ever HAD to lose weight before, but I do now.

I read one of TGs earliest posts in this thread that said now that she said it, she felt she had to do it. I had been considering publisizing my own regime/committment on FB, because then I'd be held accountable. I lost the gumption to do that, however, because I have a b!tchy cousin, and I don't need her 'starting'. But I still might, complete with before and after (or progressive) photos.

Here we go!
