Sometimes your body gets used to the same old routine. I would switch the cardio and resistance training. Resistance for 20 and cardio for the 10, that makes your body think different. I would switch it up every week so your body doesn t get in a habit.I personally do weights for 1.5 hours 4 days a week and finish up with 15-30 cardio on those days. Serious, the men have it down, I am not buff at all and I notice my posture is soooo much better doing the upper body workouts.

I am having touble with my Diet. Please tell me what I am doing wrong? -
I am 124 and I am 5 1 and I want to lose 9 more lbsI eat 1212 calories Monday - friday netNet means I burn say 300 daily working out M-F 30 mins a day and I eat back my calories so the total calories consumed minus what I burned is 1212 ishMy work out consists of 20 mins (215 calories) of Eliptical weight loss program level six and eight alternating. Then 10 Minutes of resistance training. I mix it up daily but try to always get some ab work in there as well as the rest of me. I also do a 500 calorie Salsa Aerobics class once a week. I do not eat back those calories because that is to make up for not going to the gym on the weekend. I keep my sodium aroun 1500 -1700 mg per dayI am drinking nothing but waterMy meals are consitant of Fiber One 9am , salad with chicken feta and light dressing 12pm, one protein smoothie from Robecks 2pm, a snack of fruit with cottage cheese or peanutbutter before leaving work around 4:30 pm, Chicken, Fish, or lean meat with loads of veggies for dinner, and fruit or something small around 9pm. On weekends I am less strict but I do not go overboard at all. I have cut out alcohol.I get 100+ g of protein a dayI get 20-25 g of fiber a dayI lost 6 lbs in the first week which was probably mostly water weight. But now it is 3 and 1/2 weeks total and I have not lost anything other then that first 6 lbs... I have measured and I haven t gone down any inches either!!!Please tell me what I am doing wrong
