    I do the Shred 1-2x a week for strength training but need to get better about using free weights!

      I wish I was the type of person that could work out to videos!

    Since starting marathon training I have been SO BAD about strength training! There was a time when I did it 5+ days a week!!! I am really looking forward to getting back into it once the marathon is over.

    I *love* lifting! I lift full body 3 times a week and really credit me being in a smaller size for my weight to strength training.

    Like you, I am finding my way post weight loss and trying to redefine who I am. I don’t always necessarily want to be known as the woman who lost 100 pounds, and yet that is such a huge part of my life. Yet I hope to move on from that and maybe inspire in different ways.

    Resting is hard. I had to stop myself from going to the gym this morning. I figure I need a good rest day after my ride yesterday LOL!

      You definitely earned a rest day after your bike ride!

      When I was writing the post bemoaning my lost identity I actually thought of you. You are another blogger that has lost a significant amount of weight and I wondered how you dealt with those issues. But maybe as a wife and a mother you have an identity in that. I’m neither.

        Actually – I am not a mother, just a wife LOL!

    I love to lift! Minimum of 3 days per week makes me happiest. I would bet that if you traded in runs (especially steady state cardio) for a month or so, you would have even more great transformations in your body.

    I’ve seen so many people transform their bodies with 3 days a week of 20 minute cardio intervals combined with 3 days a week of RT that you would be astounded!

    I say “Hit the Weights!!”

      I am excited to see some changes with the weight lifting!

    oooh yum – I love that you added craisins to your salad!

    Great blog you have! I like all your progression pics, it’s so cool to see!! 🙂
    Am I ever too lazy to cook? Most days! I make very simple things, sandwiches, wraps, salads..I’m really a lazy cook.

    1. Lisa Eirene

      Thanks for finding my blog! I agree…sandwiches are the best lazy food.

    Thanks for the shout out. 🙂

    I am terrible at lifting weights because I just don’t like getting started. Once I do, I’m fine, and I love the delicious soreness afterward. I don’t know if you could take a class with your injury, but I just started (literally, have taken it three times) taking a class called 300 at my gym, based on the workouts that got the actors in shape for the movie “300.” It is INTENSE and a lot of weights. There’s also body pump/power pump/etc. Maybe it is all in my head but I swear I’ve seen results just from those three classes.

      Isn’t that the funniest? Hate doing weights but love the soreness afterwards!
