I did have a pleasant surprise this morning - weight was 133.5 pounds. It does not seem possible to have already lost 2.5 pounds, but I'll see tomorrow.


Waking up this morning and facing the prospect of Meltdown was too much. So I opted for the lesser arduous ICP. I am usually stiff in the mornings and need a shower to feel good. However, it was cool here this morning, so I did the ICP first and then had my shower. I managed, with improved readings.


Results are: (Yesterday's readings are in red.)


2m 55.3          2m 50.5s
2m  39.5         2m 50.8s
2m  34.4         2m 48s


Breakfast was Greek yoghurt and raisins.


Later in the day, I psyched myself up to Meltdown.  I started without warm up, but quickly realised this was not a goer. I did the short mobility matrix. Results are that most of my densities have improved.


My densities were: (Yesterday's readings are in red.)

Pushups / squats:               59/54      48/42  (Pushups on knees)
Shoulder press/sbl:             43/40      46/39 (3 kg dumbell)
Spidey/stl:                          37/17     27/18
Curl and press/ sq              25/48     23/43


Snack was left-over lettuce, tomato, red capsicum and spring onion salad with a bit of cooked white rice (cooked for my son, but now needs to be used up).


Lunch was lightly cooked cabbage, carrot, onion, potato and egg. Watermelon for dessert.


I did not have time to walk up to the shops for my cardio, as I had someone coming to inspect the concrete that is falling out of the lintel over the garage. Great so far that it looks as though he can fix things.


After taking my husband to his gym and then doing the shopping, I returned to get him ready for the night. I decided to do a cardio Wii exercise - jogging for 10 minutes. It is a while since I used the Wii and I enjoyed it again. I think I will make this my cardio for a few days.


Dinner was terriaki chicken, potato, pumpkin, sweet potato and broccoli. Rockmelon for dessert.


I am feeling a bit tired, but I forced myself to do Power Circuit. Yesterday, I was really only up for the 20 reps and 10 walkouts. Today I did 25 reps and 10 walkouts. Yea! Another day with all four workouts done.
