You look amazing! Most of the blogs I read are from women so this is very refreshing.<br /><br />I wanted to tell you also, I do the fast food run occasionally to. We live in a very "convenience" minded society and it's almost impossible not to do this once in awhile. But your approach is right on! Don't freak out about it, just make the right choices. My mom used to tell me it's not the burger that makes you fat, its the mayo, catsup, bacon and other crap you put on it that makes you fat. See, we can enjoy "Bad" things in a good way. :)Mistyhttp://www.fatassmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-39980870939841823772009-11-03T14:58:22.582-06:002009-11-03T14:58:22.582-06:00Hmm...Marlin Mansion has some killer stairs on the...Hmm...Marlin Mansion has some killer stairs on the inside.

Plus our free gym is only open until 4:30 pm. Not good. When I still lived in America I had one at home. A Nordic Track--it was awesome! Good job on everything. Sounds as if you are finding some balance.

Long time reader first time commenter.
...Hi Sean. Long time reader first time commenter.<br /><br />I just wanted to chime in about the elliptical. I call it "The Machine" (cue ominous music). It totally owned me the first time (9 minutes lowest incline and lowest resistance), but I'm up to 17 minutes now and it is SO much easier on the joints. I love to jog/run but my 332 lb body doesn't agree. The elliptical gives me a little bit of what I like about running.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for "giving back" with this blog. You have no way of seeing my sincerity, but please believe it when I say that it has meant a lot to me and is having a huge impact on my life.Daytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12902316408705587692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-25233977135944177102009-11-03T10:46:22.556-06:002009-11-03T10:46:22.556-06:00You know that is just wild-- that they associated ...You know that is just wild-- that they associated your outer skin with "you," as if by losing fat you somehow literally turned into a different person. I know it's a common response but it's still just odd when you think about it.<br /><br />You look great, by the way.Larkspurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979771406792393848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-86231491624019965792009-11-03T10:09:53.200-06:002009-11-03T10:09:53.200-06:00ellipticals are good..try it with no hands for par...ellipticals are good..try it with no hands for part of the time and it will work your core and balance more. Does the YMCA have a stairmaster??Same thing with those...dont lean on the machine or do with no hands for a better workout. Courthouses usually have stairs out front. I like high schools the best though. The highschool gymnasium inside is also a thought. good luck. Happy climbing...melt those pounds off!! I agree that you have to be READY or the weight loss doesnt happen. It's so funny...everyone is asking me. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO LOSE WEIGHT...like it's some big secret. NOPE...just exercise and eat right. Calories in VS calories out. Not rocket science, but it took me a long time to get to the right place and DO IT. 70 pounds down and 15 to go !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-8813584061724700382009-11-03T09:43:36.263-06:002009-11-03T09:43:36.263-06:00I am becoming very fond of the elliptical, myself!...I am becoming very fond of the elliptical, myself! It was kind of an accident that I even tried it in the first place, but that machine helped me lose 3 lbs this week so I'm grateful for the slight injury that led to me giving it a shot ;).<br /><br />Regarding stair running: have you considered indoor stairs? Most tallish buildings have indoor stairwells in case the elevators go out. Those stairs can be a killer workout!Hilaryhttp://tinyglow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-5052140584026809482009-11-03T08:37:10.059-06:002009-11-03T08:37:10.059-06:00Hey Sean, that 304 lb picture is gettin' old! ...Hey Sean, that 304 lb picture is gettin' old! How about a new, low 280's picture? In the new jeans?? I love your blog btw and read it daily. Oh, and I love elliptical trainers, it seems less likely to get injured using those than running like many people do and they're a great workout. I have one in my house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-78554906456716474302009-11-03T08:23:23.875-06:002009-11-03T08:23:23.875-06:00Strange, isn't it...

And just maybe they equate lots of fattening food to fun and seeing you makes them think there will be no more fattening food so no more fun. Just a thought.<br /><br />I'm also impressed that you are making the most of a workout using simple things like stairs. So many bloggers belong to gyms and while that's great, there are so many other ways to get a good workout in without going to the gym. Then there is the pressure of finding time to go to the gym when exercise should be a natural part of daily life. Take a walk/run around the neighborhood/park, play basketball/whatever at the neighborhood school or run up and down some stairs! Kudos to you for pointing that out.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344086795897680409noreply@blogger.com
