Hi Loretta

Your workouts seem to be going so well. I bet you don't miss the cardio!

I too can't believe I'm on my sixth week. I am going to do 7 weeks in this cycle because my first week wasn't good as I was finding it hard getting to grips with the whole plan.

I'm away for the weekend so I'll look in again next week. Keep going, you are doing so well.

Judy

I didn't get up in time this morning to make it to they gym. This going to bed early thing is the hardest part! Especially since hubby is a late-nighter too.

So I'll go this evening. And in lieu of this morning, I went ahead and too my 3week measurements. Good news! Check it out in my journal. And tonight you'll see my DAY 4 of week 3 posted here.

I did get this workout in Friday evening. I lost the page that had what I did, but I think I can remember...

I woke up at 6am (with only about 6.5 hours sleep) and had a headache. So I laid back down. Luckily the headache kept me from falling back asleep, so I figured I might as well get up...take Advil... and head to the gym 'cause I'd kick myself if I didn't.

So I made it, and the headache was gone by the time I was out at the first exercise.
