I learnt something else from the dvds! I try to rush through my workouts to get to watch my 7.30pm programmes (best programmes are at 7.30pm) so I look like Iam on fast forward while exercising.......................Iam not supposed to Iam supposed to lift and realease slowly!

Why am I doing so many things wrong? I either take this seriously or I might as well leave it........................and Iam NOT going to leave it Iam going to work my ass off even if it means sitting in the gym until midnight I will do it!!!!

Sweetie, you are not doing anything wrong. It's a learning curve - you will get there. I'm proud of your commitment to make some important physical fitness changes in your life. You're inspiring! Denise

Ok yesterday was upper body, oh boy did I do myself proud! I lifted and realeased as slowly as I could. It took 45 minutes like the book said, not 30 minutes like I was doing in the past. Yes Iam sore today but that is a good sign.

Me and my new bench.................... I was doing sit ups after the sit ups I couldnt get off the bench, I didnt know what to do and of course I got the giggles. So I used Mcguiver skills pulled the walker closer to me thank goodness it was in close range and easy to pull and lifted myself up like that. Holy smoke I was thinking of rolling off it and falling to the ground but the sissy in me just wouldnt fall for that one. Oh it was so funny, I atleast got a good laugh at myself.

Lower body last night pushed myself to the limit. The one guy on the dvd said ones body is more capable than you think it is. So I added extra weights, my knees are a bit sore this morning. I keep in mind what I will look like at the end of these 12 weeks.

Good going

On friday did my upper body, worked it hard. On saterday was supposed to cycle for 20 minutes but I didnt hid under the covers the whole day instead. Felt like I needed to be on my own and just rest.

Morning Beautiful Lady. Good for you listening to your body and resting this weekend. My fitness center reopens today (finally) I have lost all my muscle over the past 2 months. Wish I were more energetic (slept 4 hours last night). But I commit to going and reporting back to you! Denise
