Subject: No cheat and workout

Ok today I'm back on track. No cheating for three (or should I make it four?) days. Saturday is the last weigh in for the month, so if I don't cheat for four days maybe just maybe I will hit my new goal by Saturday...

Anyway worked out again this morning, 2 sets each of 70 pounds on the pull down, one at 20 reps, one at 15. The underhand in front of my head one is easier for some reason, so I do 20 reps on it.

2 sets of leg lifts at 50 pounds, 15 reps. 1 set of bench press at 40 pounds, one at 50, and one using the free weights lying on my back at 45 pounds set of 10.

I didn't do the dead lift today, for some reason it seems to me that I have been doing that one wrong all this time, and that is probably why it doesn't get any easier. I'm thinking it is supposed to be done from a squatting start, and then pushing up above your head, doing it from a sitting position just doesn't feel right.

Did my ab work out, and did some sets for lower ab before I got up this am.

My husband says I'm losing a lot of weight, he pointed out today that I actually have RIBS! I guess they are coming out of hiding from under all that fat that used to be there.

Wow! I didn't know I had ribs. LOL

I figured out a disadvantage to losing weight though. I don't have as much padding under my underwire bras anymore, and sometime they dig in. Hmmm, what is the solution to that?

It feels really good to feel my body changing. I'm not counting on the scale as much to tell me what is happening. It is still nice to see a new low, but I don't think it shows as true of a picture of things as I would like.

The weekly weight averaging thing is helping me stay encouraged too. I've been recording it for several weeks now and even though my weight fluxuates from day to day, the overall average is consistently going downward.

So who is joining us for a LAST DITCH push to take off some extra pounds before June ends? We have four more days to weigh in. Who wants to see a NEW low? Join us in this last no cheat challenge for June.

At the beauty supply, you can get cotton that is made into long, long strips. Break off the size "rope" you need, and tuck this under your underwire. It helps. I don't have a lot of suggestions for this. I finally had to switch over to the ones without the underwire. (NT) -- Katie, 09:13:19 06/26/02 Wed
