So, I did cardio today which included some abs, and leg lifts. 60 minutes. I could be doing better on the snack intake (a small dessert last night, too), but I'm looking forward to stepping on the scales next week since I'm otherwise watching what I eat and really stepping back into the exercise routine. ...Wow, am I sore today after two days of weights and stepping. No way I could do the full body sculpt today.

I stepped on the scales this morning. Not sure what to think. I knew after our Fredericksburg vacation I'd put 2-3 pounds on. I've put another 2 pounds on and am almost where I was when I started exercising back in January. I know I overdid the junk food at MIL's, and I'm sure that contributed, and I have to remember that two days of watching my intake no longer means I can lose two pounds. Initially I thought "yikes"... but I don't look like I did in January. I don't have the "overhang", my tummy is still tighter than it was and I'm not bulging out of my clothes. So I guess I could be worse off. I'm about a week away from AF, too, so that's probably playing with the numbers a bit.

Hey there Cussette,

After a horrible night last night I did not feel like doing the Curves workout but then thought heck I HAVE to do this for me. So after dropping Katie off at the bus stop I went anyhow. Did my stretching and workout. Sweated my butt off too. Did some light house work and then went to work at hubby's shop for a few hours. I feel tons better then last night and my flow is minimal. Go figure! From one extreme to another.

About your clothes well its similar here too. I can not get into my stuff and its starting to stress me out. I have school coming in 3 weeks and I need to wear my things. What can I do. I can not fit anymore exercise into my day. I am trying really hard to watch what I eat. I journal my things, make healthier choices. But nothing seems to be working. I understand how you feel.

Ended up having a fantastic workout on the treadmill.Got alot of work done in CL and even did the June Cleaver deal in the house.Looks like the rain is ending and we may be looking at 5 straight days of sunshine coming up.

I did cardio, UB, and some LB, but no abs - felt my neck pulling again, so I quit. Workout was about 75 minutes. Ate pretty well today - grilled bluefish with red bliss potatoes and green beans/carrots at lunch, Foreman-grilled swordfish and asparagus at dinner. And a really great homebaked anise-flavored biscotti - not the twice-toasted kind, but the cakey soft kind. Yummy!
