Thanks, SeacrestKristi. I'll check out these videos. Right now, my training with the trainer twice a week and then walking and doing some weights on my own one more time during the week is working well for me. I think the thing that matters is committing to a plan and sticking to it. I've stuck to this system since January with very good results (Ok, they've been excellent results). I plan to stick to this plan until at least next summer, and perhaps longer. I suppose at some point I may change this plan (for variety).
I find that it works when I travel as well for the most part. We're in Maine now and I've stuck to the workout schedule for 2 days. I'm a fidgeter so I have to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the workout, especially when on vacation because I'm not distracted by work. I took that idea of focusing on the workout and not let the mind wander to other things-to-do from one of SJ's comments I think earlier on this thread (I'm a multi-tasker so I need to be reminded to focus on the here-and-now).
