Gee, when I made up my schedule I didn’t realize I had put two lower body w/o’s two days running. SOOO I had to change it… now I have it right, there is a day between the lower body w/o’s. In doing this, I had to change the days I took off of the w/o. This isn’t the way I wanted it, but really it doesn’t matter. Also, thinking about it, I decided I should take off at least one day a week for the Aerobics. So on Wednesday I do no w/o or Aerobics. I will take Saturday and Wednesday off of my w/o. Aerobics for me, for now, is walking. So now that that is all cleared up… LOL

Ok, I did them, I’m done, I’m tired… good night!

Day 14 done! I went back over my log, because it does not FEEL like it has been 14 days! But it must be! Tomorrow I start my 3rd week! I can't hardly beleive it!!! I am doing this, really doing this! I AM proud of myself, I am!!!

The exercises are getting easier, but starting tomorrow, they will be hard again, and I am kinda glad, I have made it to the advanced level! WOW!!! Who would of though? I know also, if it wasn't for this forum, I still would be in the wishing stage, because I think I would of given out a couple of days ago... but here I am still trudging along!

Quote from Joyce Vedral Well it has been 2 weeks, and I know I can feel the muscles, in my biceps and I couldn't before. Also I can feel the muscles under that fat when I am exercising and that also I could not do before! Some of the exercises she says she like to hold her hand or fingers on the muscle that is being exercised so she can feel it being flexed.

I have taken a "before" [Aug 1st, 02] picture of myself and posted it in my journal and will post another one at 6 weeks into the w/o program, that will be in 4 more weeks, then one at 3 months, 6 months and then one at goal, in about a year....

That's terrific, Linda. Isn't it exciting when you first feel or see the muscle and can't stop looking at it and flexing it!!

Keep going, you are doing so well.

Judy

Thanks Judy!! It is really COOL!!!

Tonight is going to be a bit harder, not only because I start the 3rd set, but because tonight I will have my 3 year old little granddaughter climbing all over me, while I try to w/o... maybe she will go to sleep early enough for me to w/o after she is asleep, but knowing Randee, she probably won't! Randee is my 2nd daughter's 3 year old little girl. Cute kid, but a night owl!

Well I got most of them done. Didn’t do the middle body. It was late and I was tired. Some I did all three sets and some I didn’t. But I am not worried about it. Tomorrow is Saturday and my day off of w/o... Sunday I should have no problem with doing them... all of them... LOL

Yup, today is my day off from w/o... Tomorrow I hope to have a much better workout day! On fridays, I will have to do my w/o in the morning, because watching the munchkin is going to be a standard friday thing.

Done! Did them all! And in good form! Yaaaa! Feels good too! For the upper body I am now doing 3 sets for each twinset: chest and shoulders, biceps and triceps, and back and calf's. That means I do a total of 30 reps for each exercise! And there are a total of 18 exercises! And of course I pyramid them, 2 pounds, 3 pounds and 5 pounds for each twinset. That will be upped to 3, 5 and 8 very soon.

And for the lower and middle abdominals, I now do 3 sets of 15 reps each, alternating between each twinset for a total of 45 reps for each of 5 exercises! WOW no wonder I can see and feel the difference! That will be upped to 20 reps each soon.

I walked my three miles today and it took me just 1 hour... maybe I can get it to 55 minutes tomorrow!

P.S. The smoke is not normally very bad in the early mornings... so I feel it is safe to walk then.

Not DONE!!! I got home from work really late, I'm tired and all I really want to do is go to bed... SOOOOOOOOO I am going to do my Lower in the morning and my Upper tomorrow night... that should work. If not, well I will always think it should have The next day is Wendsday and is my day off w/o... so I won't have to work the same body parts two days in a row.

Oh, ya... didn't walk today either!

Ok, did my Lower body this morning, but.... My Mother insisted that I go with her somewhere AND she was in a hurry! So I only did one set of each exercise. This makes TWO lower body workouts in a row that I have not done proper! This is why I chose to do my workouts at night. Usually there is no demand on my time then! Tonight will be my upper and middle...

O.K. DONE!!!!!!!!!!! Now it is time for bed, now that I am very, very pleasantly fatigued! Boy these are just getting more intense, but then it has only been a couple of days at the higher level of sets... Now to just get that lower body in gear! the rate I am going on those I will have to hold all of it at this level untill my bottom catches up!

I think I maybe have my days mixed up! But I will figure it out! It says this is the 20th day... But I don't think so. I walked my 3 miles today... it took me 1 hour and 3 minutes.

No w/o!!!!!!! Seems things are starting to get in the way!!! I’m really not surprised, but I must bite this in the bud, BEFORE I get out of control again! I will just have to get aggressive! That is all!!!!!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRR

I did them, but only two sets of each exercise. I think I will be here for awhile, but that is ok too... it will give my muscles a chance to build up before I proceed further
