Ok BM I read that thread you posted for me. I will say that I KNOW I don't get much fat in. I think I have been scared of it. That and the fact that I am not real sure what all are healthy fats to eat besides peanut butter? I may need help in that area. Can you give me a list of items that I should be eating? I can eat 5 times a day if I want. I just need to come up with more things to eat I guess.
You said have a cheat DAY. Ok this is what I have always done so that is good, but I have heard others say don't cheat a whole day only cheat 1 meal a week.

hi hun and welcome!
Legs, my fav thing............................
You don't need a huge amount of time in the gym to get your butt and legs all lovely again if you train with enough intensity.
You will also burn a HUGE amount of calories.
Just to give you an example, I have a heart rate monitor that is programmed for me......
one hour of cardio on the x-trainer, usually about 500 kcals
45 min of my leg workout- 600 kcals
Also with doing weights, you keep burning calories a lot longer after the workout, and building muscle gives your body the great shape.
Muscle is also more metabollically active, so more muscle will use more calories.
I am a firm believer in women training just like men, you won't 'bulk up' unless you take anabolic steroids.
So back to basics, dead lifts, squats, leg press, and lunges.
Leg extensions are the only thing that will isolate the quads, so also fantastic, and leg curls are great for your hamstrings and I SWEAR they also work my glutes and a bit of calves as well.
I wouldn't worry too much about chest, although I would still train it a wee bit, going light, higher reps.
Keep us posted, and keep on asking if you have any questions

Thanks ladies!! I do take fish oil pills with my other vitamins so that is good I do want to train the chest at least a little, but need to find something that isn't too hard on them. I tried benching once and wow it felt too weird and I left with my boobs actually feeling sore. Maybe I need to try doing some machines with low weights maybe that could help?
I have not been able to train all weekend. I came down with a fever and was in bed all day yesterday. I only have a low grade fever today, but still feeling a lot better. Hopefully I will feel good as new and able to get back into it by Tuesday. I hate being sick!

Have you tried using DBs instead of the bar for benching? Also, have you tried incline and decline benches maybe those are better? Did your PS give you the okay for lifting heavy? Pec fly machine or cables work your chest too.
Hope you feel better!

Claire, my ps actually doesn't recommend any lifting with the chest especially with going under the muscle. I know every ps is different though and some say it is perfectly fine. I would like to do something, but don't feel the need to list real heavy. I just wish I could get over the weird feeling and pain in the breast. It has been 13 months now since I had it done and they still bother me when my chest muscles get worked out.

When you are sick, THE BEST THING TO DO IS: REST. You will heal more quickly so you can get back to training sooner.
