But I realized I don't have your email addy. How did that happen? <br />Anywho, I've been working out pretty solid since Feb. 09. Workouts usually consist of 45 minutes of hard cardio and then I'll hit some weights. Problem is that, though I've noticed a huge increase in my cardio abilities (run longer, etc. - though I'm not running anymore), I haven't noticed any real weight/fat loss. I know that my diet could be part of the problem, but even when I'm being SUPER good in the diet arena and working hard at the gym the best I can pull off is a couple pounds. I'm flummoxed. <br />So, in my current mommyness state I know that I can't be hitting the "diet" hard but I'd really like to figure out the fat loss query. Am I simply working too hard in my cardio? I started wearing my heart rate monitor (I usually try to wear one when I'm preggers) and realized that my cardio workouts are all in the upper 85% of my heart rate - sometimes more. On my eliptical machine at the gym that seems to be "over" the "fat loss" heart rate zone of %65. So hwat's the deal? Should I be spending more time in the %65 HR zone to lose actual fat?<br />Thanks!
