And I am totally with you on the see what happens with current efforts. Everyone keeps asking me what my goal is for weight loss. I am down over 50 pounds and don't have a goal. I am making healthier choices in my life style and we will see what my body wants to be! I don't know if I ever what to get back down to a barely 34 inch waist. At 6'3" I think I would look goofy. Hugs Congrats to you Jeri for figuring out your pattern and making healthier choices instead of heading towards an injury.

On Monday I jumped from 40 lb to 50 lb freeweights and tore a tendon in my wrist. Now I can do nothing but cardio and leg workouts. Getting older sucks :( I know what you mean about overdoing it on escalation. On Monday I jumped from 40 lb to 50 lb freeweights and tore a tendon in my wrist.

Just use light weights and do more reps. And push for faster times. The trainers I work out with seem to think that the elevated metabolic rates from sprinting or pushing for faster times on longer distances cause you to burn more calories even when resting for hours after the workout is done.
