If you don't hear from me you know I've fallen and I can't get up..so send help! Probably do that tomorrow as I did my last HITT yesterday. Thanks for the good luck wishes!!! :)

Switch it up with some standard duration/lower intensity cardio. With doing the weights on opposite days, it can get pretty trying. -------------- Strength and Honor!

I have also been using my stationary bike, walking and going to an exercise class once a week for an hour. I rotate the days I do it and I am taking Wednesday's as my free day. I did up the FT Fitness program on here so I'm doing that also for 5 days a week. There isn't a gym where I live or within a reasonable driving distance so I have to do all my exercise from home. I'm slowly picking up things as I go. I guess my next purchase should be a bench and some weights. I read in one of the threads that I should be able to get a set for about $100. I can all ready feel that I'm working my abs, my upper leg muscles and my shoulders. You guys are the best and I appreciate all the advice all of you guys/gals have given me so far. I've been logging my food in the nutritional tracker and I'm finding that is helping me a lot! Only thing I have to get in my head is that it's ok to eat 6g of flax/fish oil a day for the Diet plan that you did up. I've been doing 4g's but I'll get the other 2 in today.
