    Tuesday September 2 Day 2 of 5
    55 squats
    8 push-ups - modified wall push-ups
    8 dips (that may be the max amount I can do for a while on those because this exercise hurts my wrists-carpal tunnel. Yesterday's 5 dips were okay, but today's 8 dips pushed it.)
    15 bicep curls - 5 lbs weights (I was creative and used full 1/2 gallons of Almond Silk as weights-I weighed them on my food scale) :laugh:
    15 sec punches
    20 Sit ups - knees bent (Did 2 sets of 10 for a total of 20) I guess I'm feeling more determined and stronger today as I was able to do them!
    8 crunches - knees bent
    8 leg raises - laying on side - each leg
    12 sec plank - straight legs

    Felt a little better tonight. Neighbor was going for a short walk so the boys and I joined along. Only went for about 15 min but considering I wasn't able to keep any food down a day ago I was happy with it.

    My normal routine is a 6km walk each morning at an average pace of 6.5km per hour. I also do 3 exercise classes per week and try to do two sessions of strength exercises in the gym. It seems to be working as I've dropped 11lbs in 3 weeks.

    Maybe next week I can do this! I have been having back problems since I woke up Tuesday. Saw the dr. today and got meds for pain and muscle relaxers. Ugh.
