I thought I'd take the time to introduce myself -- hope you don't mind ;). I've been posting at PP for a while now over on the cross stitch board. My name is Tammy, 34 y.o. but officially closer to 35, wife of 14 years to Rob and mother to 2 daughters, 13 y.o. and 10.5 y.o.
My DH & I have been going to the gym for about the last 2-3 months. We weight train 2 body parts each session with a 10-15 minute Elliptical warm up. Our schedules are rather wonky, which only enables us to weight train each body part approx. every 7-10 days. I only weight train with DH, so on the days that he works, I go to the gym for a 30-45 minute cardio session. I try to do cardio 5 out of the 7 days including the cardio sessions used at the beginning of my weight train. I started tracking my calorie burn for the month of May and I burned over 6000 calories. I'm so excited to have hit what seems to be a high number, so next month I'm shooting for an even higher count.
I'm finding the working out is such fun and so rewarding. My only real problem is getting the eating under control. I'm far from a 'clean' eater, but I try every day to make healthier choices rather than the type of foods I was eating before.
I'm hoping to find some inspiration on both fronts, working out and eating and in the process get to know you better.

Hi, Tammy!
A very warm welcome to you, Tammy! I'm so glad you found us (partly because it sounds like you will be an awesome butt-kicker...er, supporter, when it comes to the exercise end of this thing)! LOL It is amazing how great the extra effort makes you feel? I, too, love to exercise (am slowly trying to get back at it after an injury).
I hope you plan on sticking around and becoming a buddy. I look forward to getting to know you better!
I am 35 (ok, closer to 36), married 12 years, with a 10.5 year old daughter. I have another 15 or so pounds to lose of a total 40.
