Thank you so much! This forum has provided so much support and encouragement. I love it. BTW, I got my tea on Friday after ordering Wednesday and paying only $5 for shipping. It is so delicious! When I smelled the Azteca Fire I could barely keep from sticking my fingers in and eating a piece. And the tea maker is so convenient. Great recommendation!

Today's workout:
Fat Loss I A5 - Down to 10 reps, yeah!!!
I am very proud of myself for getting this in. I didn't get out of work until an hour later than I was expecting and I started making all sorts of excuses to myself. But I looked at my planner and said, if you don't do this now, when are you going to? I told myself I have to drive by the gym anyway to get home, so I might as well go in.
Squats supersetted w/cable seated row, 45 sec rests
155/10 110/10
155/10 110/10
155/10 110/10
The squats felt easier and I felt loser in the second set, which I take to mean I should have warmed up better.

Overall not a bad weekend. I couldn't believe how I could not stop eating that cereal. Its scary how when you stop eating sugary stuff for the most part, something like that can taste so incredibly sweet.
So far I've done Break-In, Fat Loss II, Fat Loss III, Hyp I, and then Strength I, II, and III in that order. I was thinking of picking up the ones I have not done yet to finish the book. But I like what you are saying about the programs building on each other. Maybe I will re-think the plan.
