Louise, you're probably right, my pants actually feel tighter after the first few weight workouts.
Khris, no, I haven't *sheepish look*. I really should though, and I have no excuse not to.
Kim, you hit the nail on the head. All I did until last week was cardio and last week the weight workouts had me too sore to do anything on the off days. This week I will be fitting in both cardio and strength training. Let's see if that helps any.
Kendra, you're doing extremely well for someone who recently had major surgery! Focus on eating clean and please take care not to over strain because of your enthusiasm!
