You make It all sound great!
There are some online forums as well which are quite good..
When I get a chance I may stick some up on my page..
I want to get into weights when I am back from hols, a lady at my work talks about TRX which I think is an elastic thing you attach and do all the moves against your own body weight? it looks good as it is not a lot of kit but it does a lot of different things..
I am all for not cluttering up the house with exercise kit!
I have no upper body strength at all, so I will start light on weights..

BB - Those TRX things look brutal, trainer at the gym uses them..they are mega pricey..and hugee.. sure they do more compact ones for home mind!!
I have some rubbishey resistance bands which I use at home to do lat pull downs (over the door) and bicep curls
I dont think I could go back to doing all that cardio now.. I used to go in and go on the tredmill or cross trainer for the whole session...gah! Much rather be getting sweaty lifting now!!
Upper body strength will increase hun, I could just about curl 2 x7kg dumbells when I started, now I warm up with 20kg, do my working sets. I need to work on my shoulders big time, the back/shoulders are really important when it comes to judging for comps
With legs its more about stripping all the fat off, which is mostly diet and a lot of slow slow cardio... Legs not too bad, but my upper will need a lot of work! Am looking forward to it big time, comp diet & training ...cannot wait
On a side note...
Chilling out with a cuppa tea
Made kids their dinner, just veg out...watch olympics...phew
Things slowed down a bit on the TOM front, back to every 1hr-1.5 hour change. So thats a bit better.
Eeeek... feel a bit pressuree atm, need to get reading done and crack on, ready for my lectures at Cambridge. Feel a bit fuzzy headed, need to get focused!!
