Just got back from dinner out and I'm off for a walk around a small lake with walking paths. Had a really strange day... had two separate men (strangers) compliment me on my looks today, which was pretty odd, but I'll take it. (Was flattering and creepy all at once... :eek:) Then, I saw a friend tonight that I hadn't seen since high school who told me how nice I looked...hmmm. Wish I knew what I did differently today so that I could bottle it for the next time I need it... LOL Hey...Am I on Candid Camera???


Goals for this week:


* 4 fruits and veggies a day. (Can't figure out why this has been hard for me this summer as I was, pretty much, a vegetarian for 4 years.) 2, 4, 3, 4, 3

*Eat clean. (Simple enough.) Y, meh, pretty clean, Y, ok

* Log foods and limit calories to 1200. 1326, 1149 (carb heavy), 1109, 1078 (carb heavy), 1050 and perfectly balanced :)

Mike,

Thanks for giving me the idea to do weights from a sitting or laying position to protect my back. It's been working out really well for me. I can't believe I never thought of that before. A lot of people don't know that when you have a lower back injury, you lose your upper body tone because you avoid lifting, (not weight lifting, just daily, routine lifting) especially after a few years. I'm excited to rebuild the tone in my arms. And the best part is, there's no pressure on my back.

My lower body is pretty well toned from all of the walking, hiking and climbing I do. So now, maybe I can get the two halves to match... lol.

No problem. I didn't want you to get your shake back.
