Day 8

Day 8 folks! I actually made it through my first week. Now, as far as the workouts go, I will be following the same sequence of videos for the next 2 weeks. After that, the calendar changes a bit.
I just took my second swing at the Chest and Back workout. I'm now able to do more push-ups than ever before. It's really encouraging to know that each time I do these workouts, I do a little better....even if it is only by 1 or 2 more push-ups. Anyhoo....still practicing the pull-ups/ chin-ups. that's gonna take a while I'm afraid. Using a chair to assist for now, but I know, before it's all said and done, I will meet that goal as well. :o)
Well, it's been really hard to not weigh myself throughout this week, but I am going to try and only do it every Monday morning. This is humiliating to post my weight at this point, but I want to really be able to see my changes over time, so here we go. My starting weight, last Monday morning, January 18th, was 167 lbs. This morning, when I weighed, I was down to 160.5! YEAH!!! 6 1/2 pounds this week! Considering the fact that I know I've put on a little muscle this week, I'd say that's not so bad for the first week. The people on the video said that after the first month is when you really start to see some results. I can't wait!!! Anyway....good day! No crying at the scale!
