Your regimen is close to mine....three times a week with the trainer....the one who has no sympathy, no empathy, does not back down and actually INSISTS I do things HIS way....

I only do cardio five days a week because I am told to rest one day a week.

I do start kickboxing on Thursday....just to see if I like it. Not as if I'm going into competition, but I really do feel the need to hit something, rather than some one.....

My calories are a little less than yours, but then again, I am less than you, both in height and weight. Plus, damn you, men lose weight more easily than women....my trainer allows my honey, Tev, to lose two pounds a week, which he does. Easily.

And, may I add, in all seriousness....that I am very proud of your efforts. Having been there, actually still there...it's tough, it's hard.....and really requires a level of commitment bordering on insanity.

I really believe I am somewhat insane for doing it this way, for I have come to love it and thrive on being sore six days a week...

Mad props to you!
