I know I'm a couple days ahead most of you, but in the interest of keeping discussion going, I thought I'd chime in.

I just finished Day 9 this morning, and I'm feeling great! The exercises are definitely getting easier over all, but I'm really noticing where I'm still feeling it (the outsides of my thighs, my lower abs, and my arms)! I feel like my 3 lb weights have really gotten too light on the chest flies and bicep curls. I experimented with using 2 liter bottles until I can buy some heavier weights, but couldn't get a decent grip on them. Instead, I am focusing on form and resistance when doing those moves, so I don't feel like I'm throwing them away completely. I need to get out to the sporting goods store this weekend, though! I'm thrilled, because my upper body has been so weak for such a long time.

I slipped into a pair of pants I haven't worn in a couple weeks this morning, and they fit noticeably better. They were a little snug last time I wore them! I also walked past a mirror yesterday and noticed how much my butt has lifted. Woo hoo! I can't wait to measure and take some more photos tomorrow.

Edit: I also wanted to note that I have been weighing every day, and today I weigh exactly the same as the day that I started. I've been bouncing up and down within about a 4 pound range since day 1, but now that I'm back to where I started, I'm hoping it will start going down. I just wanted to remind folks to focus on you strength and inches, and not pounds. I completely trust that I will lose by the end of the program!
