Thanks for the posting Linda Love. You are probably right about the changes in the Atkin's plan. I keep my carb levels very low and have upped the frquency of my workouts. I also wear a heart monitor during my spin classes, so I can make sure to stay at an aerobic rate. This fine tunes the rate of fat burn.

I have lost 10 pounds, and am getting firmer. The muscle tone is helping a lot. I do spin classes every day that I can. In otherwords if I am going to go somewhere where I will pass by the gym, I make time to stop in and go to a class. Some weeks I can go more frequently than others but the minimum is five times a week. This week I have been feeling extra brave and energetic. I have done a one hour spin class once a day, everyday since Saturday. My goal is to continue into the weekend. Wish me luck!!
