Took measurements and not at all encouraged by where I am after 30 days effort.� Difference between chest and waist measurement is a mere 2".� Since I didn't take any measurements at the start I can't speak to whether there has been a noticeable improvement or not but will definitely know when 60 days hits.
Continuing pain in right shoulder ... took day off.
Persistent pain in right shoulder so decided to take a day off the sculpt routine to give it a rest.� Am thinking of switching from the bands to dumbells as in the past cable type devices were at the root of such injuries/pains.
Annette in bed with the flu today.
Weight back up 2 pounds this a.m.� Beginning to wonder if it is not the quality of the food I'm eating but rather the quantity.� May have to devote some time this weekend to doing some research on what further changes to diet I can make to further tweak for success.
Think the south beach is kicking in.� Weight 210.8 this morning.
Some shoulder pain in right side so taking it easy on sweat days.
First day of South Beach Phase I was fine until evening.� Didn't realize how hungry I'd get in the absence of carbs.� Had to pick up the book to see what I could snack on and stay within the plan.� It indicates that 8-12 pounds weight loss is possible in the two weeks of that phase.� Will play it by ear about doing a 3rd week of it before going to the more flexible phase 2.� Weight 212.8 this a.m.
Sweat routine this a.m.
Didn't have the broccoli or celery for snack times today so am using a cup of dry roasted edamame in its place.
Am still thinking a serious tweak to my diet will be the key to greater weight loss.
Diet changes:
Pics this Sunday.
Weight this a.m. 214.
Strength workout.
Rested, relaxed and in light of getting more serious about diet aspect of the program beginning tomorrow I indulged in some chocolate.
Slept in.� Chores and other things to do so as usual weekend eating will not be consistent time wise.� Will probably not get to the exercise until sometime in the afternoon.� As weight loss is still very minimal since the start of this I need to reread the Michael Thurmond diet as well as look to the stage 1 eating for the South Beach diet for the next couple weeks in hopes that will allow me to shed at least a few pounds before my 30 day picture next Sunday.
Ended up getting so busy that I never did get around to doing my exercise today.� As I've had some aching in my shoulders due to the program using them daily I figure the extra day of rest could not hurt.
in class ... managed to maintain exercise but diet varied
