Exerise Strategies for Weight Loss -- Kate's New Resolve

Captain Smash Thrashing Stinkin' Thinkin'I'm over my puddle of pity and I've got some new energy for stepping up to a more intense exercise routine. I'm sticking with the Prevention 2 Week Turnaround and the combination of strength training, walking and healthy diet.
So, today I really squeezed the maximum benefit from an hour of exercise.
I did my strength routine today with 3 sets of 12 reps of exercises at highest level of difficulty. Then, I walked for 40 minutes and used Dennis' watch+heart rate monitor to make sure I walked long enough and at the target intensity/heart rate for me for at least 20-30 minutes.
Pushed myself and now I can barely sit here at the computer cuz my shoulders are burning (it's the 5 lb weights over my head with 36 reps, I think).
Also, I did more work in the kitchen than usual this weekend to make sure we had salad and veggies for meals and I did good snacks. Took Saturday as my Cheat Day and 1) had breakfast at Denny's and also 2) had some hot fudge sin. Saturday will probably turn out to be my cheat day for evermore.
