Lekde: One of my friends is a personal trainer, and she trained me for a few months and I still work out with her sometimes,...so if you want to lift weights and not look bulky, then make sure you do a lower weight, and more reps. The guys that get huge, put on a ton of weight, and only lift the bar or weight like 5 times. So if you do a much lower weight, and do 15-20 reps or something like that...and three sets of it, it will help tone you up and define your muscles rather than making you look like a body builderDate: 6/18/2009 11:09:26 AM

So, last night was a good night!! I walked 2.5 miles at work (lunch time) and then after dinner, which was a grilled pork chop and salad with a tbsp of greek dressing, we took the dog for a 2 mile walk. When we got home, FF and the dog went in, I continued on up the hill - jogging! Man, it felt great!
I want to make an appt with a trainer at the gym we just joined so I can un-flab myself. I need to focus on my hips, thighs, and arms - they are my WORST areas. But, I am afraid that if I weight lift too much, I will look like a football player (like I did in high school and college - for swimming).
For bfast this AM I had a toasted english muffin and 2 cups of coffee (no sugar). I had a few frosted mini wheats and have a peach and a 1/2 tbsp PB on an english muffin. If it EVER STOPS RAINING I will go for another 2.5mile walk. Dinner is still in the air.
ETA: and I have been drinking a lot of water, but I think I need to drink more. How much is a really good happy medium? Right now each day I''m doing about 5-7 big glasses...maybe 16oz''ers. Should I be drinking more?
Also, as far as the water goes, I think the recommended water intake is around 64 oz a day. So thats like 2 nalgene bottle''s worth, if you have the big nalgene bottle. Otherwise, about 4 of the 16.9 oz water bottles. So if you are drinking more, then way to go!!
