A little bummed that my wrist is acting up again. It's been SOOOO long with the wrist problems!
Well, swimming lessons start on September 8. I'm so excited!
One more workout with 6 reps sets and then I move on to weeks 7-9, which go back up to 8 rep sets, then weeks 10-12 are 4 rep sets. After 12 weeks I will be done with the Total Fitness module and will move on to Hypertrophy (I think -- depends on my fat loss).
I was sooooo hungry after working out today that I ate 237 grams of tilapia for dinner! WHOA! I certainly made my protein quota for the day (and then some!). Still, sitting at 1442 calories is OK with me and all good.
New low on the scale today -- 136.

I love shopping at thrift stores, it is the best and I can't believe you got those jeans at that price!
Congrats on the new low, Jane. That just rocks. I hope the wrist settles down.

Jane that 100 push up program is ultra cool. I can't wait to see if it actually works. The most I ever did in a row was 60. That was years ago though!!
GoodWill rocks!

Great job on the workout and the loss!
About the wrist, do you think the pushups might be aggravating it? Are you doing standard pushups or are you using dumbbells or something to support your wrist? I'm just wondering because it seems like the two things might be connected. Something to think about.

Even when my wrist was newly injured (back in March, I think), pushups never bothered it. I *think* I injured it on the "T" portion of YWTL's. The things that DO hurt are Lat Pulldowns and because of the weight, I don't trust it on DB snatches when it's hurting. And, it hurts to throw around the OLY bar if I have to lift it from the floor to rack it high or something. It's much better, but still just not 100% there.

Bummer about the wrist, hope it gets better and doesn't hold you back at all. My knee is holding me back some, which reminds me I need to do my stretches and exercises again today.

Last workout of 6-rep sets. Moving on to 8-rep sets for the next 3 weeks.
Did a planned re-feed today. I thought my body needed a shake-up after such a long time in deficit. So far, I am here:
| | grams | cals | %total |
|---|
| Total: | | 1935 | | | Fat: | 63 | 564 | 30% | | Sat: | 25 | 222 | 12% | | Poly: | 1 | 10 | 1% | | Mono: | 5 | 47 | 2% | | Carbs: | 187 | 681 | 36% | | Fiber: | 17 | 0 | 0% | | Protein: | 163 | 653 | 34% | | Alcohol: | 0 | 0 | 0% |
I have to go back into work at 10:30 tonight for several hours, so I may take a Zone bar or something else and get over 2,000. We'll see what it does to my body doing a re-feed like this, if anything.

Definitely keep us updated on the refeed. I'm quite curious. Why do you have to go back in to work?

I've got to test out some code that's elevating tonight.  The call centers are open on Saturday, so I need to make sure there are no problems b4 7:30 am when they start.
I'm just sitting here watching the opening ceremonies and I'll have to watch the end tomorrow. Thank goodness for DVR's!
I'll let you know on the refeed. I feel like a stuffed pig -- not used to all this food
(and carbs!).
