OK, so...I did read all the wonderful posts on the thread. Thanks all!
My wife is also doing the yoga-pilates thing with her friends. She's been on the South Beach diet for a couple of years and has lost around thirty pounds in that period of time just cutting out the carbs and doing her exercise tapes. Some of her girlfriends come over Tuesday and Thursday nights and they all work it together. I'm not allowed to watch. Tuesday of this week my wife's friend Shannon brought over a Latin dance workout DVD. It looks fun, and potentially painful!
I've been rowing five nights a week, doing two reps of 5k plus a 500 meter warm down. I've been doing push ups, and I bought a stand up rack thingy you can do dips, chin-ups, and suspended leg raises on. I'm trying to educate myself about nutrition. I was raised lacto vegetarian, so I've never really had a horrible diet, but I've started taking a multi-vitamin and salmon oil capsules for omega whatchamacallits.
