Week 2

Today I weighed 141.5lbs, which is a loss of 1/2 lb from last week.  I was somewhat discouraged that there wasn't a bigger change, but Joe's encouraging words were very helpful to me.  He said that progression is progression.....which is totally true.  Looking at the steps in front of me, not at the top of the mountain are very important now.  I also took my measurements today, and didn't last week so I don't know if there were any changes in that.

Weight: 141.5lbs (lost 1/2 lb)
Waist: 32 inches
Hips: 40 inches

Legs:
Leg extensions 2x10 50lbs
Front squats 4x6-8 35,35,45,45lbs
Sumo Db squat 3x10 25,30,30lbs
Db step ups 3x10-12 7.5,7.5,10lbs
Calf singles 5x10-12 50lbs

Moderate cardio 30 minutes on elliptical L6 incline L7-8 resistance

 Although I was a little discouraged after I weighed myself this morning, I made sure to keep in mind that I did make a change, even though it was small....it was still a step forward.  My favorite frame of my workout today was that I did 30lbs for my sumo squat and didn't feel like death.....last week they were really hard for me, and I was using less weight.  It made me feel good about getting my strength going again and that things are going to be ok.  I also really kicked my ass on the cardio today and watched fun music videos.  I am very grateful that Joe reads these blogs and responds so quickly - it shows that he really cares.  Thanks:)
