Time for a change

Okay, this is it:  I've been using the elliptical for two months now, and have lost some fat and can actually wear shorts w/o being embarrassed by dimply cellulite running rampant.  (it's still there, but just not running rampant!) -- and now that I am getting into the habit of a daily workout (even if short) I need to start building muscle.  

Hence, here come the weights.  I mostly want to perk up my bosom (hate having a bony sternum, yuck) and firm up the rear view -- I'm afraid if I don't do something else all the elliptical workouts will melt away my booty into a flat nothingness.  The only thing worse than a big blubbery booty is a flat boney one -- who wants that?!?!

So . . . . here is my new plan:

*continue w/ the elliptical workouts daily (10-40 mins each)
*start daily crunches (60 to start)
*start EOD pushups (10 to start)
*start EOD leg workouts (alternating squats and lunges, 1 giant set of 45 each day)

After I get used to this, in about a month or two, i'll start mixing in free weights  . . . better to start small and gradually build up rather than go all crazy and jump right into things only to wear myself out and get discouraged.
