Day 18 of 90

Amazing...Today was the same workout #3 that I dreaded on Monday, but it actually wasn't too bad today. I kind of enjoyed it. I still can't do all the plank moves - especially the last one where I have to push up to one leg and back but it's getting better. I wasn't able to finish the last set of planks where you go down on one arm then the other, and then push yourself back up. I love that feeling that I am getting stronger - when some of the exercises are getting easier. I seem to be able to do the squats with no problem - and I'm getting real low. One thing different today is that I switched back to my lower weights - the 3lb instead of the 5lb. I want to make sure I'm building my shoulder muscles safely since I know they are in bad shape to start with.

Funny pic of the day...See that little bump - it's my bicep muscle!!!

I'm working really hard on my posture - keeping my head above my shoulders and my shoulders back, however, I still have the burning between my shoulder blades. Nothing to do with the exercises, it's just something I've had for a long time. I'll blame it my office days as a computer programmer and bad posture. Really hoping these exercises will build up my shoulder and upper back muscles and eliminate that pain.

I made my delicious banana protein shake after my workout which really made me feel good after I ate it. For my food, I ate really well, and actually went over my daily limit which I think is okay because based on the fat2fit site and my stats, I should be consuming about 1600 calories a day - which is about what I'm doing. The bad foods today was 2 chocolates and 2 glasses of red wine. Oops!

Looking forward to workout #4 tomorrow.
