Hi Rebecca,
Thanks for stopping by and for the Birthday wishes. I will take your word about the big 3-6! You have a good weekend, too!

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.

Tracey, Kate, Paula, Lori, Rilos and Kara~
Thanks for the birthday wishes! You guys are so sweet.

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).

(Typed as I sit here eating sausage. LOL)
