Your body progressively changes outside the gym. While your resting and sleeping. keep in mind what the ravens told you and you will see a great change. Keep up the good hard work and remember, give your body that rest day, and give yourself a cheat day in the diet. -------------- Nothing is too small to know, and nothing is too big to attempt!

I also follow a very strict diet now and do a good mix of weight and cardio. You also need to remember that, if you are out of shape how long did you let your body go? It takes time to repair what you might have dine in the past. But keep with it and you will have nowhere to go but looking and feeling better.

Slow, steady results are better than anything you can acheive overnight. I've even gotten to the point that it really tees me off when I have dinner with the in-laws and I pass on the dessert or make sure most of what I eat is good for me. (They like lots of FAT FOODS!) One of them will say, oh, you're on a "diet" or something? And I'll say, no, I'm on a "lifestyle." It shuts them right up! Just keep it up, don't backslide, and you'll get there!! Kelly

They like pasta, so I thought fine, have not had this in a while, I will have a plate, plus have not had pasta in a week or two. Then out come the cake. Grandparents enjoy feeding my wife and I. But passed up on their deserts last few times I have been there. Even thou some of them are so good, but the dinners are enuf in them selfs. :)
