I meant to respond to the previous post about this. Mind if I join? Everything I eat is organic from the health food stores but I still eat A LOT things with salt and sugar. My biggest downfall is coffee with lots of cream and sugar. AND I haven't been to the gym sinse November
B: Coffee with milk only, FF plain yogurt with cin. & LF waffle
L: pinto beans, cut up carrots and celery, 2 small apples, baked corn chips
I am getting on this bandwagon with you guys again! Not soooo much for food tracking as for exercise - hopefully having to post it here will be a reminder and a kick in the pants! I found that my total lack of exercise has been contributing to the throat ulcers I've been getting (5 since October!), and that I can head them off at the pass and keep them from breaking if I exercise a bit. Thank all that is holy!
B: coffee, raisin bran w/ff milk
L: turkey/barley/kale soup, cheese stick
S: ff hot cocoa, apple
D: chicken breast w/brown rice, corn, salsa, and black beans
E: Stretching, light abs, lunges

For those who lift weights what do you do? Heavy short reps, circuit, everyday, once a week? I am one of those people who is scared to go in the weight area of the gym because I don't know what to do. I know how to do the exercises and use the machines but everything I read recommends something different. What have you all had success with?

I use both free weights and the machines. if you're inexperienced with weight lifting I would stick to the machines at first. Most of them have instructions posted on the machine. I usually work out to muscle groups a day plus cardio and abs...for example, I'll do legs and shoulders one day, chest and biceps one day, and back and triceps one day, and then start all over, usually lifting 2 days in a row, skipping a day, lift two days..
Also, usually the people who work at the gym are MORE than happy to help you learn how to use the weights and machines. I would ask someone for a tour...even if you've been there for a while.
