    Yes only one more day! There's an entire system not running and most of us are out of here by noon tomorrow! Not sure what they're going to do if they don't get it working...

    PS there's a stash of Costco chocolates in the room :D among other things like full size chocolate bars! I've been pretty good at staying away from them but they are calling my name!

    Oops! I didn't get any exercise today, so I'm with you. Went to a friend's tonight for pizza and beer. Totally worth it!

    They're still here today - have to stop myself from grabbing a cup and filling it up. Only 1/2 day today but TOM dropped by so I think resistance might be futile!

    Pizza and beer, yum! Blue - just give in. Peanut M&M's are just too good.

    Went to a lovely french dinner with the hubby last night. We're trying to get some date nights in before baby comes. I even had a glass of wine. It was lovely. Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and I am just pretty irritable and cranky. 21 days, but who's counting?

    I gave in. TOM was craving chocolate lol

    Do you think it was the wine that made you cranky? After not having any for so long it must have had some sort of effect, no?

    I will actually be glad to get some home cooked meals! While I like dinners out, three times a day is a little much! Especially when it's not vacation lol

    I feel that way, too, if I've eaten in restaurants too often. Today I had whole foods prepared food for lunch and chipotle for dinner as I forgot to thaw out the chicken overnight. Oops. And I just ate a Reese's pumpkin to put me just over today. Like yesterday, totally worth it.
    I did supercharged today, no intervals--I was feeling a little gross and nauseous so I called it a day. I did up my weight a bit, from 65 in set 1 split squats (I do 15 each leg) to 70 in set 2. Those damn plank and pull downs, though, are going to be the end of me, along with the jackknife push-ups.

    Keep up the good work Jen! Those are some pretty nice numbers! How much do you pull for the plank pull downs? The split squat? Is that basically the weighted stationary lunge? I liked those.

    Split squat is the weighted stationary lunge. I did 70 on those, 15 reps each leg. For the pull downs I only do 40. it's not hard to pull, but keeping stable is difficult.

    They sound effective! In level 3 of the shred there is a weighted plank row. Very tough!

    Yes Jen, that is Easton. He was born July 1. Technically not one of the grandkids, but close enough :) he's Aaron's sister' son. That wasn't even his costume - this is (sorry I don't know how to make it smaller)

    So cute! I can't wait to dress my kiddo up next year he he.

    I unfortunately caught a cold last week so I was down for the count all weekend. Still not feeling awesome, but much better than Fri/Saturday. Spent most of the weekend on the couch with the dog :smile: Got no trick-or-treaters so we're stuck with a bunch of candy, shoot ha ha.
