Weight Training

So, as I said in another blog, I am back at the gym.  I had a weight trainer set me up with a new routine along with 30 mins of cardio.  Oh, man......  I am now doing everything I was doing before, added 3 weight machines, increased my reps to 15, and reduced the weight, just a little.  And sllllooooowww....up, 1, 2, hold, down, 1, 2.  Eek!  That was a tuff workout, but I feel great!  And, I have already lost 2 lbs.  Yeh, I know, guys can take it off in a few days with little effort.  But, we women have to try harder!  It's just a fact of life.  Now, the question is, do I really just want to lose 5 (now 3) lbs? or maybe just a little more?  The jeans are already starting to fit a tiny bit looser........  I still have to get into that new pair.
