I did STS Meso 1, Week 1 Chest, Shoulders, Biceps on Tuesday and the FitTV version of Kick, Punch, Crunch yesterday. I skipped the last 10 minutes or so of the latter, including the ab work (I really, really, really need to start doing ab work one of these days) but according to my Go Wear Fit I burned over 200 calories, averaging about 7 calories a minute. Which is good for me. My feet were kind of sore, and I got this weird ache in my instep that shows up every so often, and I hated the feeling of my fat shaking around everytime I jumped, but otherwise I did OK. My knees were surprisingly mellow about the impact. And I enjoyed it more than I did the kickboxing I tried in 4DS. I wish the music was better, though.

As for my starting up STS again, I just decided to go back for now as I was having trouble commiting to a different plan. I just couldn't get my head into Pyramids again, so I figured I'd fool around with STS some more. My weights were about the same as they were the first time through, and doing 15 reps of everything seemed interminable. But overall it was OK. I didn't blow up the stability ball so I had to modify some stuff (the stability ball comes up A LOT in this workout) and I didn't worry much about getting the heaviest weight I could on everything. I was still pleasantly sore the next day.

I am planning on doing M1, W1 Legs today. Unfortunately the baby woke up at 5AM so I'm dragging ass already, and really hope I can motivate to work out during her nap.

I was seriously bummed a couple days ago when I weighed myself and the scale said 154.4, a full 2 pounds over where I was. But yesterday it said 152. So, whatever. I ate some cake and a gigantic bowl of cereal to celebrate.
