Default Darn!! Up TWO pounds???

I'm going to follow your advice. It's almost like you "know me". I DO burn
out easily and I don't want to this time. Thank you for the good advice.

I'm going by memory here, from posts I've seen from you throughout the

week.
Haven't you just begun exercising recently? If so, your muscles are more

than
likely hanging onto water while repairing the stress on them from the new
activity. This happened to me also, still does on occassion when I try to

push
too hard, too fast. It takes awhile for the body to let go of the water,

took me
a good two weeks in the beginning.

Just a suggestion from the non-exercise guru in the bunch ...

I read elsewhere that you were walking a mile a day, at a pace of 2MPH.

This is a
great start, won't totally burn you out from overdoing in the beginning.

Then I
read that you added the incline into the routine already. Myself, I would

work on
the distance and speed first ... start gradually increasing the incline

when you
can get your speed up to a cardio level maybe? I think I read somewhere

recently
that a walking cardio level should be between 3MPH and 3.5 MPH - not too

sure of
that though. The incline is a great workout, I love it myself - but I

also didn't
add it until I was consistently up in speed and duration, as I felt it was

tougher
on the legs (which may be why your body is hanging on to fluids???), thus

causing
me to tire out faster. I've been working on the treadmill for many months

now,
walk at 4MPH and a varying incline level of 4-8 ... and I tell ya, I start

feeling
it at 20 minutes when on the higher incline - start declining the incline

and
immediately notice the difference. Maybe you could work a few days at

your 2MPH
level for 30 minutes (1 mile), then increase the speed by .1 or .2 MPH

(I'm making
the assumption your treadmill is similar to mine ... fan and all) - go for

another
few days and up the speed again. If you keep the length of time the same,

you
will notice you are walking a bit further each day. You will still get

the same
benefits of the flat workout, without overtiring yourself in the early

stages -
which often leads to early burnout. Save that tough stuff for later!

Just my 2 cents worth, anyway. G

You have to look at the big picture. Sometimes when you start
exercising your body plays havoc with water levels. You know you
didn't gain 2 pounds of fat - try to be patient and it'll be gone
soon. It's discouraging, but the scale isn't your only measure of
success. Hang in there!

have you measured yourself? I find that when there is a gain that I can't
account for it is either hidden salt or my body collecting fat to dump in
the next week or so, hang in there, Lee

Seems to be a common theme around these days. Don't worry, keep at it,
it will all work itself out.

hehehe - I don't know you, but I do know ME ... I am the burnout queen. g I
even splurged and bought myself a 13" television with a dvd player built in, to
give me something to keep my mind off of the boredom that can set in. Then
splurged on some movies and television series dvd's ... making the treadmill time,
MY time and something to look forward to (a bit). I still overdid things a bit
yesterday, wanted to check out the even higher inclines and see how much different
they were. OY! They are tough, I think I at least now know exactly what a high
intensity workout is supposed to make you feel. LOL

Yesterday was the first time I used the fan, not much need to when your basement
is sitting at about 30 degrees. I was in my sweats, had to throw my bathrobe on
in addition ... and after 15 minutes I had to turn the fan on. Oh, it is
wonderful! Does your treadmill also have the ability to be hooked into the
manufacturers internet website for additional programming and tracking? I haven't
done it with mine, don't want to string any more cables through the house, but it
did sound really interesting and fun. Can hook it up, and get programming on the
computer monitor to walk through different scenery settings. And through the
website it will also automatically control/increase/decrease the incline and speed
to coincide with the terrain. Cool, huh? I didn't even realize this until I read
the manual.

Are you drinking all of your water? Elaine K once suggested not exercising
the day before WI as your muscles can swell and hold water. Try it next
week, it works if you're OP.

I can do that for my stationary bike! But as it has 6 built-in programmes, I
'm waiting to get tired of those before hooking it up to the internet
thingie. Cool huh?

Programming trails I'd love Yosemite.

See if they have the Mt Si trail. 4 miles up with a gain of approx
3,400 feet.

I just used the treadmill at work today for the 1st time. 15 minutes
on hill work. But only about 2mph but I kept upping the slope to 10
whatever and it kept dropping it back down (G)

We must have the same kind of treadmill! ProForm CS9e. I LOVE mine. I turn
on the cable rock-n-roll channel and visualize myself slim and fit while I
walk. I'm still "falling down" a bit on my evening points, but I'm GOING to
do it this time, NO MATTER how long it takes me.

Bummer, WannaB... it's probably a gain because you've been exercising...
have no fear! I heard something this week that really makes me think...
"It's not really a gain unless it repeats itself next week". SO hang tight
and as long as the numbers on the scale aren't the same or higher next
weigh-in, you didn't really have a gain!
