    I am so sorry but I leave in a few hours to fly out for my high school reunion. I am not going to be able to figure out a weekly winner before I go.

    I will post an optional weekly challenge tonight on my phone.

    I'm so pleased. I think I'll up my target next month!

    My challenge for this week involves the following three exercises:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtUYhMaqhIQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    My problem area is my stomach so 100 repetitions of each for the week should do the trick

    Hope you enjoy!

    Well, didn't hit 5" down this month, but I'll take 2.5" in a heartbeat. The first couple inches come off so easily in September, it's hard to stay motivated when they come off so much slower after your body has adapted. But that's why I have you guys! And guess it's time to shock my body a bit and change up my routine.
