As a newbie - I see alot of posts of frustration and questions - I wanted to post something incredible that happened today! I went to the gym and only did weights. It felt amazing to let go of feeling that cardio is the only way - I feel stronger and leaner than when I do cardio - and I know I worked up a sweat - but then after, I went home and leisurely walked my dog. Today is the first day of a real beginning of working my muscles.
