Howdy all. I'm a 29 year old mother who became pregnant in highschool. I'll never really know what my body was supposed to look like. Today I'm a 5'8", muscular type weighing in at 170. I do 30 minutes of cardio three days a week (uphill/4.0) and am trying to break into jogging. I feel like a lead weight when I try to run, whether on TM or outside. I lift dumbells and do floor leg and ab exercises for 30 along with the cardio. Two days a week I am in Aerobics. I've had this routine for over three months. My diet is mostly veges, then fruit and whole grain cereal products/nuts, beans daily, three a day of nonfat dairy, no sugar at all and minimal meat but very lean when I do. No diet pop or other crap.
I'm not losing anything but breasts and determination and I'm gaining muscle everywhere. But it's under fat that I can't lose, so I'm getting bigger. I'm going to be Hulk Heather soon. Any ideas on how a dense gal can succeed at aerobic workouts, and have that slender, fatlessness of a runner? Or should I forefit to genetics? (I'm willing to suffer at this point)
Thanks in advance!
T.
