Those aren't mine in the avi, but that's about how I'm built, my measurement are 36/31/42. I actually enjoy my shape. Like I said, proportioned. ;-)

 

[tryin2tone]

I've accepted they arent going anywhere, so what I want to do is just tone up around them, but not so much that I look weird.

For now this is fine. But what are your goals overall? What do you want to accomplish thru your workouts and diet?
When you get that worked out we can better tailor your workout for you as needed. Your meal plan looks pretty good.
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you too.
You should put up a couple of pics so we can judge your hippiness...LOL
Best regards,

My goal is to just tone up, gain some muscle/strength. I used to be strong, or at least I thought I was, when I was fat, but losing weight made me weak. I'm still strong, just not as strong as I want to be.

 

[zedhed]

That workout should do very well for you then.

 

[cindylou]

drop your portion sizes in half 8oz of chicken/potatoes/fish is too much for each meal imo

So you think 4 oz of everything would be more helpful? Even tho I only eat 4 times a day.
Thanks...;-)
