I used to have a SERIOUS aversion to sweating. Then I decided that was just not helpful.

I now love working out and if I am not sweating quickly I wonder why I am not working hard!! I workout five days a week. Mon and thurs are Zumba. If you have never tried it, you may just like it. Fantastic cardio and oh my gosh do I sweat. Tuesday I circuit train for 45 minutes, I don't like the instructor, but I do like the workout; and he changes it up every week. I have no idea what I am in for today. Some Tuesdays and Thursdays, depending on whether I have patients, I will take a yoga class either at 6:30 or 8.

Wednesdays are my favorite. I take a weight lifting class for an hour and then have an hour off then do gay yoga for an hour and a half.

Fridays are yoga nights.

Saturdays are usually when I go hiking. I don't consider that exercise, more like mental/spiritual maintenace.

If I don't have patients on Sundays I go to the morning Zumba class by my house.

I am very fortunate to get off work at 4:45, walk three blocks and get to the gym in time for the 5 pm classes.

I have to do cardio. I think that is what has contributed the most to my weight loss. I have always loved lifting weights. I am not really strong, but I can really feel a difference in the last year. I have a Ganesha tattoo on my right arm, my goal is to have enough tricep and bicep mass to make him dance!!
