Thanks, Tom! Well, my Mom brought over dinner and a cake last night. It was hard, because to be honest, I wasn't feeling the cheat but I ate some and just limited my portions. I got some cool presents and that is always nice. I think I was most excited about my new sweat towels for the gym, LOL.
I think my Hubby and I may go out this weekend sans kids and I am looking forward to that. Not sure what we will do.
We did purchase a new weight bench with a squat rack last weekend, so that was pretty exciting.

Wendy,
I totally agree and it is so nice to not be obsessed with the scale, anymore. I am still at the same weight, but my favorite jeans are starting to be pretty big around the waist.
Last night was special workout B. It was a good workout and I definitely have some DOMS going on.
Special Workout B, Stage 1 NROL4W - AMRAP
Deadlifts: 40lbsX38 reps (Ended with 90 - gain of 50 lbs)
Dumbbell Shoulder Press: 12.5lbsX28 reps (ended with 22.5 - gain 10 lbs)
Wide Grip Lat Pull Down: 27.5X56 reps (ended with 85 lbs - gain of 55)
Lunges: 20lbsX25 each leg (ended with 50 lbs - gain of 30 lbs)
SB Crunch:BWx68 (ended with 10lb plate)
So, if I breakdown my gains on Workout A
Squats - AMRAP
Start: 65lbs End: 105 (40 lb gain)
Pushups
I started out barely being able to do one real one and can now do 18!!!
Seated Row
Start: 55lbs End:85 (30 lb gain)
Step-ups
Start: 10lbs End: 17.5 (7.5 lb gain)
Prone Jackknives
BWx18
I am heading off to the gym in a few for some cardio intervals and I want to speak with one of the trainers about maybe working with him once a week, for a while.
I also picked up the TNT Diet book yesterday and would like to get it read this weekend. I'm thinking I may give it a try.
I hope everyone has a great weekend.

I think you will like TNT. You are doing great by the way.
I am sure you mentioned it earlier but, how many kids do you have?
I have a 3 year old girl, she keeps me busy!

Hi Rebecca,
I have a 12 year old son and a 5 (almost 6) year old daughter. They keep me on my toes, for sure! Thanks for kind remarks. I really think if I can tweak my diet somehow, I can see even better results.

Have you already started, Diane?
I need to get the book read and go the grocery store.

I "officially" started yesterday since I just happened to have TNT-friendly stuff all day. LOL Then I went grocery shopping yesterday afternoon and bought TNT-friendly foods for the week. So, yeah, I guess I've started.
I'm only about halfway through the book right now but will finish it up in the next couple of days (or maybe today if things go right).
