Well, what a nice surprise! I wasn't so sure that EP would be able to recover our old posts and still maintain the new ones, but then again, what do I know about computers? :-) So, yay EP!
Hey, I don't know if any of you subscribe to the "Hungry Girl" newsletter (if not, I highly recommend it. It's good and fun reading. Visit the site to sign up: http://www.hungry-girl.com/), but today's newsletter had an interesting tidbit:
"A recently published study shows that the rate at which your body burns fat could be elevated if you break up your long cardio sessions. The researchers found that breaking up a 60-minute treadmill workout into two 30-minute ones (with a 20-minute break in between) caused study participants to burn more fat than they did during one super-long session. If this really works, THAT ROCKS! Wanna read more? Click here!"
Granted that I haven't been exercising regularly (YET), but it's definitely something to keep in mind for when I do.
Hope all is well with you and yours.

I Agree!
I should pay more attention, but I think I lose more weight when I break up my workouts. Like tonight, I did 30 minutes on the crosstrainer, took a 15 minute break and then did an hour of an interval training class on the treadmill.
I like Hungry Girl too...I need to visit it more regularly though.
She's got some great info! Hopefully you'll find some workouts that you enjoy doing. I find that my day just isn't "right" if I don't work out. I crave it now! Weird? Probably! ha ha I just noticed your before & after pics. How clever! Did you create those yourself?
