I got 2 new workout DVD's. Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed and Shred, and JM's Killer Buns & Thighs. I did Shed & Shred tonight and it was great! Not as intense as Insanity, but more stick-with-it-able. I had to modify some moves (and, admittedly, sit a couple out after a few seconds) when the push up variation moves became excessive towards the end. So it's good to have something to work up to in the workout. I DID manage to complete 4 jumping jack push ups though! Whoo-hoo!!!

It seems my TOM may be starting a little early. I weigh in tomorrow, so it may not be a great indication of anything, really. I'm ready for that and won't let it effect my emotions too much. Unless, of course, I'm back to 145, in which case I'm going to Snoopy dance!

RFSC Goals this past week:

Weight loss: 1.4 lbs on Tues' weigh in, in 2 days. (146 lbs). And below 145 by next Tues' weigh in.

SUCCESS! Last Tuesday I'd lost exactly 1.4 lbs! I want to be down another lb tomorrow morning, even if it's TOM.

Fitness: keep the 14 push ups, and bring them lower to the ground.

????? Honestly, I can't tell if I'm going any lower, but I've kept the 14.

Add weighted butt crunches and lunges to 2 workouts this week.

NOPE! Only added to one workout this week.

Hike/climb and play tennis again this week.

SUCCESS! Tennis - yes! Hike got cancelled, but I did do the stair climb on the mountain trail.

Nutrition: figure out why I'm bloating and try to improve it.

NOPE! But I certainly saw what a large tub of popcorn at the movies did to help the matter. Egads!

NSV: Try 2 new recipes

SUCCESS! I tried FOUR! All were wonderful! One was a simple homemade pesto, which I'd never made from scratch before. SOOO easy and so worth it! The other 3:
