Well, I'm surprised that I lost weight this week, since I've been gaining weight (muscle) from working out. I worked out 4 days this week - all walking. 2 of the days I power-walked at a pace of a 15 min mile. I really enjoyed those walks. They are a great way to relieve mental stress from my desk job. My hamstrings have been sore the last 3 days, which is why I took yesterday off. Due to the weight loss, I may have lost some fat, along with the muscle gain! I'm going to keep up the power-walking. I don't feel motivated to do weightlifting DVDs at home. I just feel like walking, probably because the weather is so nice. I'm going to go with it and do what I feel like doing, as long as I do a workout every weekday. Besides working out every weekday, my goal for this week is to stay under my RDI. I did fairly well with that last week, but not every day. It seems that 2000 calories is good for me for maintenance. I'm just really ecstatic about not gaining this week! I hope you have a great weekend :)

Do you find that if you are constantly changing up your exercise it keeps you motivated? I get bored doing the same thing all the time.

You want to arm wrestle?! :)
Keep it going. The more muscle we have, the more efficient our bodies become.

Skwhite, I go through phases of what exercise I like to do, so yes, I change it up. But it has to be something I'm "into" at the time or else it's a chore, lol. But right now, I'm just interested in walking.

Awesome! I'm loving this. Especially since I just started working out and am solidly trying to find that curve back down with work outs and gaining muscle weight.
Plus, it's awesome to read about someone reaching the maintenance level. Kudos.

Thanks, Diea! Once you reach your goal weight, or get as low as you can if not, it's great to work on your workouts, which also provides a good focus during maintenance to keep me motivated :) Kudos to you too!
