She is my Dr. and she is amazing. You can not go wrong with her and the whole staff at Suncoast.

Havent been here on LBT in months, but just started my C25K this morning. I did a 5k on Halloween morning and really paid for it for the next day, so I am restarting the plan. I have big hopes of a half marathon in July, but time will tell

I have to second the Trikke. Its awesome exercise and fun too. Sue, Glad to see you still like your Trikke....Dave

Been away for a while, but i'm back and back on track. Got a little side-tracked for a while and the weight stayed the same, so now its time to step it up again and go all out. Hope everyone is still doing good....Dave

2 more days of exercise and Trikking done, but the scale is still stuck. On the good side, I am down another 2 inches on my waist, so I must be doing something right...... We now have a 9:30 pm walking /running group, well 4 of us, in the neighborhood, so that makes it nice to have someone else to exercise with. Keep it up everyone. It looks like everyone is doing great. I am still determined to make my goal weight by my bandiversary, but it will be close.:biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2:

Salsa, You are awesome. Way to go. I am slowly working up to jogging, but it still isnt a favorite thing for me to do. Maybe i'll keep Trikking for a while and playing on the Quadracer. I did get all of my days in this week and weekend, so I managed to stay on track. Today is weight training and riding tonight, when its a little cooler outside. I'm such a wimp...LOL

Jaymie, Congrats on the new Trikke. Once you get somewhat use to it, you can vary your workout a lot. To work the upper body, use only your arms, carve more and dont lean too much. Its murder on the biceps and chest muscles. Same for the legs if you push harder and dont use the arms much. Core training is good when you make wider sweeping movements, like slalom skiing and it really works the abs and obliques. Your heart rate will stay up pretty good, even with easier riding and making some small sprints at speed. Keep us posted on your progress.....Dave

I have a lot of faith that you will make your goal tonight, but if by some chance you dont, get ready........ Wow, a 4 mile run in itself would do me in, since I'm not a runner at all. Good luck tonight....Dave

LadyBug, I know how you feel. My weight is stuck, or maybe my scale is broken...LOL I got in a good amount of walking this morning, then some Trikking, which was hard because of the wind today. One way was real easy, but then I had to make it back to the car. Boy did a taxi ride sound good, but I got determined and survived. I think I totalled about 6 miles walking and 11 on the Trikke. Gotta save some for the night workout program.......Dave

OOPS, dumb thumb typo. Should have been 6 weeks.....

Mine said to wait 6 months too. After that I started the Body for Life workout by Bill Phillips. It really got me motivated and now I am into alking, weights and Trikking daily, except for my Sundays off to recouperate. Check out Bodyforlife.com

I chose to stay on the cautious side and gave up all carbonated drinks. Heck, I gave up everything to drink except water and Crystal Light, ot counting my 4 ozs of skim milk daily for my protein shakes. Maybe one day i will try a Coke Zero, but after the initial withdrawl from stopping them, who knows. My dr has a strict rule, which is no carbonated bev's at all.

Got in some extra Trikke riding tonight and hit the weights for 45 min. I will be feeling it tomorrow though. Cable crunches, butterflies, lat pulldowns and tricep presses all done. Time for another night ride around the neighborhood. Its become a nightly routine at 930, when its nice and cool out.

WOW, hope it heals real quick. I like the no impact part of the trikke. I did have a few muscle cramps when I started, but after the 2nd week, they went away and now I am able to ride up to 15 miles without stopping. By then I am worn out..LOL My latest mistake was riding 4-wheelers and now I have a quad pull that wont go away. Good luck and heal quick. The Trikke is calling you....Dave

Took part of the day off yesterday from exercising and went quad riding for about 6 hours. Wow am I sore, everywhere. Back at it again tomorrow. It was a nice change, even though i did get a 1/2 hour trikke ride in last night.
