so it's time to get back into the game.  i have no idea if anyone reads this blog anymore, but i'm keeping up with things for me.  it's time for me to get going again after my surgery.  i feel healthy enough (and have my doctor's okay) to get back into the swing of weight loss things.  i am just supposed to be careful exercising and stop immediately if i get tired, dizzy, etc.  actually, that's probably good advice for anyone.

so i have a question for you healthy, active people out there.  i was reading the other day and the article said you really should do no more than 30 minutes of cardio a day.  but then combine that with strength training to acheive maximum weight loss.  i know strength training is important, but i though cardio was the best thing especially when you are trying to lose body fat.  anyone want to weigh in here?

so now, let's get down to business:
