Didn’t do my workout as planned over the weekend, as I really didn’t feel well enough to. I did, however, manage several 3-4 mile walks with my dog, with the fresh air helping to take the edge off my nausea (think that I may have had a touch of food poisoning).
Anyway, back to it today … have just done my first WT workout of the week (see my gym log for full details).
One thing, I did try out the bench press ups that I mentioned here on Saturday. I manage to do 15, in increments of 5 with a small rest in between, but had to do the other 15 on my knees, as my shoulder was starting to complain.
After my workout, I spent about 15 minutes chatting to the gym instructor, as she had complimented me on my changing shape and weight loss.
She had me do some flexing, and it was so cool to see the definition in my calves, for instance, and although I’m nowhere near having a six-pack, there is the hint of an outline there.
The only thing that doesn’t look too good is my triceps … they feel great, but they’re currently being hidden by some flabby ‘bingo wings’. I really hope that I will see this area firm up and become more sculpted as I drop body fat, but I do wonder if it might be a bit late to stop the rot at my age.
Talking of weight loss, I was rather disappointed to find that the scales stayed the same this week for my official weekly weigh-in. However, the tape measure told a different story … in the past two weeks (I measure fortnightly) I’ve lost an inch off both my waist and abs, half an inch off my hips and another inch off my thighs.

So I overdid it with LC stuff. Anyhow, today I went to the gym after most of our guests left (two are still here) and I did my workout. I felt weaker, but I'm so proud to have done it! I'm hoping it will help me until Tuesday when I see my trainer.

Hey Lisa ... well done on passing up those HC goodies, and even better, on going to the gym and getting your workout done with all that you've gone through this weekend ... I feel proud of you too
