Saturday 7 January 2012

Another pleasant surprise this morning! Weight down again from yesterday to 132.4 pounds. I must admit I am a compulsive weight checker.

Again I could not face doing Meltdown when I decided to get up, so I stuck to ICP. Improvement again, I am pleased to say:

2m 19.4    2m 55.3          2m 50.5s
2m  15.4   2m  39.5         2m 50.8s
2m 5.9      2m  34.4         2m 48s
 


Once again I am irritated at how hard it is to use this blogger program. It is touch and go as to whether I can open the blog to get to making a draft - sometimes I can get the dashboard and sometimes it does not appear. Then to move between the published pages and the draft is so difficult - there are no links from one to the other. I have resorted to having both the published page and the draft open at the same time, as I like to be able to copy from one to another without re-typing.


And I have taken my before pictures - well to be accurate - my son took them on his i-phone and then could not email them to me. That i-phone of his is a problem that way. So I connected his phone to the computer and got them off that way. Of course, they were far too large to publish here. So racking my brains about how to reduce them, I settled on using Picassa. 








Let's hope I can get rid of quite a lot of those love handles by the end of this program. Nothing much I can do about standing straight - a great shame - genetics and osteoporosis.


Breakfast today was Greek yoghurt, with muesli and banana.


Lunch was a salad of potato, spinach leaves, cabbage, dressed with coconut oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic.


After my warmup, I completed Meldown. Amazing, times have improved again.


Pushups / squats:               65/63      59/54      48/42  (Pushups on knees)
Shoulder press/sbl:             47/45      43/40      46/39  (3 kg dumbell)
Spidey/stl:                         39/19       37/17     27/18
Curl and press/ sq             26/58       25/48     23/43



Towards late afternoon, I brought out the Wii again and did about 14 minutes cardio - some fast jogging and some rather simple step that I am not very good at.


Dinner was much the same as last night - chicken, potato, sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, broccoli.


Later, after putting my husband to bed, I completed Power Circuit with 35 reps and 10 walkouts. Now I am tired and looking forward to doing a bit of reading then sleep.
