Well, I am not happy today on a couple of counts...my stats are bad but in all fairness TOM is any minute and I usually gain 3 to 5 lbs so no progress this week - chin up ---- I will be good all week with no cheat and hopefully something good will come of it!!

My workout for today will not happen unless it happens tonight which is doubtful. Little one is sick AGAIN or he never was all the way well....he has been throwing up all night *sigh* He and his PawPaw are in the middle of my workout floor finally asleep....I am tired and still have to go to work.

Goal Review
Today - I just need to look straight ahead, do not fret about how big I feel....I am a size 6 but today I feel like a 2 that is a 12......
This Week - Concentrate on my eating - never forget that I REALLY want to transform - why did I forget this over the holiday and throw things to the wind?
This Month - Lose 4 lbs - didn't make this last month but I came really close -- it is now a new month!
This Year - incorporate some outdoor running - this is on schedule for this weekend
Ultimate Summer Shape Up Goals - comfortable size 4, increased cardio capacity, leg definition
Yes, my little one is sick again....I think it must be just one big virus since he was fussy the night before. Poor thing and I have to go to work - DH says he will stay home with him (lol) He is a wonderful PawPaw.....he just calls me every second!!!
I don't know if you got to see my personals last night so I am copying them over -
Wendy - I wonder what the deal is with your shoulder area? I have Ripped -- it is a good workout - light on abs and, it is her easiest - I would say it is moderate but I use much heavier weights than she does and it makes it pretty tough - the next two are awesome to me!
Heather - I was late today too -- hope you catch - I never did, late to work, late leaving, late to class, late home, late putting little one to bed....hate late days! You are sounding pretty chipper!
Karen - I am so sorry you are sick -- you and everyone else that is...hope you guys are better soon! OK....did I see for real 45 on the toe pushups????? That is my absolute worst exercise - I think it is mainly because I have trouble with my wrists but once I quit doing P90X my pushups got a bit lazy!
Jean - I signed up for 12 weeks with Karen Session. I am afraid that I was bad 4 days this week mostly due to the holiday and traveling I am afraid that I probably lost some of the ground I gained - I hate it when I do that, I could just cry.....
Gloria - I have been looking at the Barry's Boot camp longingly....they say have cardio options for non runners but I wish I knew what they were. I wish like heck I had a treadmill but I am not sure where I could put one????
Sunny - Your workout looks great! I have two rotations I want to do but can't until my workouts from Ms. Sessions change - I want to do fitnessfreaks Summer rotation and the new June rotation from CAthe but I guess I will save them for a later time. I think that all of Jari's workouts are good - as far as advanced let me see - for me it is. I am used to lifting with Cathe regularly, almost exclusively. I can do her toughest workouts and lift heavier than her sometimes and Jaris Ripped to the Core fried me in 3 places - the shoulder work is killer at least it was today. I have been having trouble exhausting my chest, I have been trying to go heavier but the heavier weight hurts my hands a LOT but my chest was fried today with only 10 lb dumbells?????? She does some step offs from the step to the side like a squat lunge while doing delt lifts - I thought I was going to throw up - I went too heavy and had to drop to 5s....I rarely use 5s and did not think I would need them today...I had to stop and go find them! I love the leg work and I have DOMS everywhere and never picked up anything heavier that a 15 lb dumbell once for triceps using both hands over the head. Since I find it challenging I would say it is advanced....I find Slim Series pretty easy. Sorry so wordy but I don't want to mislead anyone - I truly like her workouts - I will buy anything she puts out, the only other instructor I do that with is Cathe. I don't know if it is because it is a different style of workout that made it hard for me or how long it will take it to get easy but right now it kicked my bootie.
Where IS Gayle????? and have we heard any more from Lori?
Have a great day ladies!
