Old Habits Die Occasionally

It's been a while and since I have had so many comments that I am looking slim, and also the question have I kept it off? plus a request from my gym instructor to blog about my latest initiative that I write today.
Being slimmer than I have been since my teenage years has given me a real boost in happiness. The fact that people notice and comment is very rewarding. So if you are a little bigger than you know you should be there is some incentive for you. I have also never been fitter, as is the case of accidentally going for a couple of 10km runs that were initially supposed to be 30 minute jogs. You tend to get over the pain and those negative feelings after about 5 to 8 minutes and then you just go.
To the next point, have I kept it off? I can proudly say yes I have and have done so for 8 weeks! Now in saying that I have registered in the sub 89's but not on an official weigh in day...and today I weighed in at 89.3. That has meant that I have had to set myself some new goals. Now I have one one...its a little vague but its something I have detested all my life, but am willing to try.
I am now mixing my cardio with weights. I hate doing weights...it hurts...it makes me feel sick...if I go hard I hurt the next day...it makes me grumpy...the list goes on. But enough winging and whining...lets make it happen and that is just what I am doing now.
I have been doing it for just over a week and thankfully it has got easier, but I am still not enjoying it as much as a good cardio workout where I sweat and feel like I have actually achieved something. Why should you do weights? Well I am no P.E dude but apparently it helps burns fat for longer after your exercise. It strengthens what is practically the nuts and bolts of your body. It of course tones you and for me one of the major things I think it will help is posture. To help get through my workout I have set about blasting through my weights session and then finish off with a good cardio session. By that time I am warmed up and I start to perspire almost immediately giving me the satisfaction that I am definitely doing something good.
So what are my goals. Well Andrea, my gym instructor has given me a little programme which I work at but also gave me a good once over. She took measurements, and also looked at the amount of fat I am carrying. The object is to better these stats.

Well that is enough for now...wish me luck as I try and change these statistics. It is going to be hard as my gym time now has become even more limited with my current family situation...but its not going to stop me. The only thing that will stop me is death, and with what I am doing is delaying that inevitable.
