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.
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!

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.

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.
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!).
Here's where I ended up for my planned refeed yesterday. Scale up this morning, but that was totally expected. Will return to deficit today and judge success by what I weigh in a week.
Wow, Jane, those are some major workouts you're getting in. How long does the whole thing take? Congrats on the new low. It is so exciting to reach milestones.

Hi Pauline...the workout takes me about an hour each time, give or take. They are very enjoyable and I feel like I am in a groove with the workout plan. I especially like that I can change up the exercises and swap them out when I want. I find myself trying to change up some of them every 3 weeks. So, this past 3-week period I was doing Split Squats for my unilateral knee-dominant exercise and for the next 3 weeks I am switching to Front Squats. And for my bi-lateral knee-dominant exercise, I did lunges for the past 3 weeks and I will be switching to BSS's for the next 3 weeks.
Jane, just wanted to pop in and add to the cacophony of voices--FANTASTIC job, lady.
You go, girl.
Tina
Thanks, Tina! Seems like progress is a little slower lately, but I'll take it!

SO, I got it in my head that I wanted to rearrange my bedroom. I have a huge bedroom with cathedral ceilings and lots of heavy furniture. I decided that the king-size bed needed to be on the wall under the peak of the cathedral as the focal point. So, I put those moving men thingies under all of my furniture -- took 4 sets of them. I have no idea how I managed to lift it all to get those damn things slid under, but I did it. I moved it all and rearranged like FIVE times. I was exhausted. And, then I HATED it. Had to move it all back. THREE hours later, it was all back. I am counting that as a damn good workout. I am SORE today!! And bruised all over.
Lessons learned:
1. Graph out room and furniture to scale on paper before moving stuff
2. Don't attempt by yourself
Did I mention I am SORE! And, nothing to show for it.
Those push ups are looking great, Jane. Hey where do you find Coach Dos stuff? I am trying to get all my stuff figured out since i will be moving out on my own for workouts. I will probably do NROFW first but really just looking around as I figure it all out.
