I lost 2 pounds this week doing this program with my mom. I was happy with 2 pounds because I wasn’t great about eating or exercising. I’ve been having the worst brain zaps that I can hardly function some days so exercise has been hard. And today I drank some pop because the zaps were making me nauseous. But the nice weather is here so I’m more ready to get moving and I really want to lose weight before my next trip in October so I’m happy with how I look in pictures.

I woke up at 6 this morning and felt rested. So I got up and had some breakfast and tea. Then I did some yoga and strength training. And then some cleaning. I might take the dog for a nice walk later too since it’s nice out. It feels good. Hopefully I lose more weight this week!

I'm sore from the bit of physical work I did yesterday and days before. I have also been doing too much cleaning on my hands and knees without ample cushioning. Years back I injured my knees. They have not 100% recovered.
I got on the scale this morning for the first time in a while. I'm exactly the same as I was last time. At least I didn't gain. |

I just finished a morning of vacuuming and mopping. I followed that up with a rigorous workout video. It has been a long time since I worked out that hard and my muscles are shaky. What a great feeling!
I had fruit for breakfast and a I'm having a salad with grilled chicken for lunch. I'm not sure yet whats for dinner, but I'm determined to keep it light and healthy so I don't waste all the good work I put in. I'm glad to see everyone checking in again. Let's make this a healthy week together! |

I stuck with my video and did it yesterday and today. I am so sore. Going down stairs is so painful now. It is a good hurt though. It shows me how out of shape I was. The video is a 30 day program. I did it once before and it got me in the best shape of my life. I hope to return to the same level as before. I liked feeling strong.
I've been eating well this week. Lots of fruits and veggies and limited sugar. I hope I can keep it up. I tried on all of my shorts last week and several pairs were uncomfortably tight. I hate I'll fitting clothes, so I need to tone up before I wear them. Hugs and well wishes to all. |

My husband and I spent at least two hours staining our deck (he's home today). I am beat and know I will suffer the consequences tomorrow. I did the most laborious part of the job. I overheat so easily. I know my medications contribute to that.
I just took a full shower, then for some unknown reason our neighbors' and our electricity went out. I can't blow dry my hair, but think it will look sufficiently dry by the time I leave for my psychiatrist appointment. I looked in the mirror and more than any other time I felt I looked very chunky. Normally I see myself as thinner than reality. I'm not sure what happened. Maybe the labor and heat made me swell up a bit. |

I've completed 5 days of my video and I plan to put in a 6th today. I woke up with a sore throat, so I hope that doesn't keep me from my workout. I haven't lost any more weight, but I can tell I'm toning up and I'm happy with that.
BirdDancer, my husband and I took on the project of staining our deck this weekend. We completed the prep and pressure washing yesterday. It was a lot of work and I'm sore. We begin staining today. I feel your pain! It will look nice when it is done though. We are expecting 95 degree weather today. That should make the job extra fun... |

@fern46, I hope your deck turned out nice and the heat wasn't too intolerable. Did you end up sore or have your video workouts prepared you for the labor? It took more than two days for me to recover. Yesterday we finally enjoyed our deck, since the weather became milder. It's looking very nice, yet we still plan to add six flower boxes (begonias) to the railing. We're still waiting for a new umbrella to arrive. It's rough without one.
Hubby and I went to the swim hole yesterday. I got some sunburn. It was my fault for not putting sunscreen on. I didn't swim. I hate wearing bathing suits. I do feel a bit too chunky wearing one, yet many of the women (even younger women) were even chunkier than me. They were even wearing bikinis, while I wear a one piece with a little skirt. I think my hesitation has a bit to do with comparing myself to my old ballet/dancer self. |

Hey BirdDancer, the heat was awful but the deck turned out great. We are putting the furniture, grill and flowers back today. I'm glad it is done. We had some boards replaced a while ago and had to wait for them to settle before we could stain. Everything is finally the same color now. Yay!
I was sore after staining because I was bending my back in an awkward position for a long time. I recovered the next day though, so I think my workouts helped with that. I pushed myself yesterday and did level 2 on my video. It was a serious jump in intensity, but I am glad I went ahead and went for it. I'm a bit sore today, but nothing major. I got a bit sunburned while out swimming this weekend too. The sun was unforgiving and there were no clouds. I can understand not wanting to wear a bathing suit, but I think we just have to forget about it and try to enjoy ourselves. I have a nice figure, but I'm 38 and I am all about keeping my butt and my above the waist assets covered. I wear a skirt or shorts too! It makes it easier to be carefree when I'm playing with my kids. Your deck sounds amazing. I am sure the umbrella will make a huge difference. We just bought a huge offset one for our patio. A neighbor cut down a tree that had been providing out yard with shade, so we needed something to provide us with cover now that it is gone. I love begonias too. They will look beautiful and tolerate the heat well. Enjoy your projects! I'm about to do my video. I'm on day 8. My brother has been encouraging me each day. He has cancer and is in treatment and doesn't have the energy to work out. I'm physically well, so I'm taking advantage for the both of us. I feel like I have a gift he doesn't have right now and I'd be a fool to squander it. |

I weighed myself at home this morning before food or coffee. I am 12 pounds less than my pdoc's and primary's scales say. Why do I suddenly gain 10 pounds there? I see pdoc Friday morning. Figure I'll still be the same as last time. I guess I need to step up my game. However, my clothes are a BIT looser. Still wish the 50 pounds in my belly area would go away faster!

I always go by the fit of my clothes. Muscle weighs more than fat amd my scale isn't really moving but my clothes are starting to feel better. I always keep a pair of too tight jeans around. If I can zip them up I know I'm doing great. |
