It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
:lol: Nah... got too much going on as it is.. work deadlines... Satellite system going live this AUG... Contract issues to worry about... Bills, car.. house stuff, AND trying to get my love life going again.... ...I think the addition of trying to stay focused on a diet and work out routine would just throw me off at this point.
Maybe this fall... when things are a bit less hectic, and I can focus on something like this and myself, maybe then I will. :wave:

Or get enough sleep, or quit smoking, or quit drinking, or prevent mermaids (who have been God knows where) from humping your leg . . .
What do you consider "taking care of yourself", not bathing in acid?:lol:

How many times should you work out? I hear most people talk about a few days a week. So far, I'm finding myself doing it everyday. Is that ok? Or is it too much? I dunno, seems like whenever I'm bored now and have nothing to do, I pick up the weights. I try to go until I can't lift them anymore. I've learned that my right arm is much stronger than my left. My left arm gives out much sooner than my right.

If you're really doing it right, you should give your muscles 48 hours to recover, that's why Judd suggested you should do lower body one day and upper body the other.
If you really push hard and get to the point where you'll build muscle, your muscles get tiny little tears through them. It's rebuilding those tears that increases the size of your muscles. It takes most people about two days for that process - that's where the 48 hours comes from.
That sore, stiff feeling you get the next day after a good workout is the sign that you're doing it right and your muscles are re-building themselves and getting bigger.
You'll find the more you do, the harder it is to get that feeling even with heavier weights. Your muscles get used to the movements and it gets harder and harder to get results. A good thing to help this is to vary your movements. Don't use the same movements over and over again. Mix them up and try some variations.
That also keeps it from getting boring. Mixing things up and giving yourself 48 hours for recovery are good for building up, but they also help a psychological hurdle. If you did the same thing every day, day after day, you'd get bored and probably stop after awhile. You can't let it become a chore.
Good luck! Keep checking in to let us know how it's going.

Gary, as a veteran dieter I've got to say, weighing yourself everyday is going to get to you. Our weight fluctuates daily and there may be times when you lose inches, but not weight.
Once a week weigh ins might be the better way to go. That and judge by how your clothes feel/fit.
Its up to you...just my 2 cents worth. :wave:

Thanks! I know exactly what you mean, and that's why I wasn't jumping up and down when I lost two pounds from Thursday to Friday last week.
The thing is, because of those fluctuations, I want to make sure I have a good, running record to really see what's going on. For example, I'm afraid if I weigh myself every Thursday, it might look like I lost weight when I really didn't. Over enough time, that should even out, but I'm not patient enough to wait.
Also, since I'm not where I want to be, getting on that scale every morning burns it into my brain and gives me more discipline when lunch time comes around.

Bought my South Beach Diet Cookbook today ($15.99 in BJ's.) Got tired of waiting for it at the library. Somebody has forgotten to return it fork: ) and there is a waiting list. Got my stove working (still waiting on a sink & dishwasher) and I'm ready to start cooking. :sohappy:
I got the little South Beach Diet Handbook too ($5.99) to carry in my pocketbook for reference when I shop or eat out.
By the way I've tried the new Atkins Salads & wraps @ Subway...
:slurp: (I'm up to a free meal already. ) And they know my kids by name.
