    I got in my 10k steps before I left work, did my 30 Day shred and then we went and had mexican food for cinco de mayo ( my fave!) I had a no-ritto bowl , the healthiest thing on the menu....then the whole family went on just over a mile walk afterward because it was so beautiful out!

    Hi all :) I've been pretty much MIA this week. Both my kids have been sick and now I think I may be getting sick too. **sigh** I'm thinking of changing things up and starting a new program by Kayla Itsines called Bikini Body Guide (BBG). It's a mix of LISS and circuit training. This is similar to what I used to do, but it looks lighter on the plyos. I may do this for the summer then switch back to heavier lifting in the Fall...we'll see....I seem to change things up frequently so not sure how long I'll stick with BBG. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

    Hell yes! That's the best way to treat yourself on Mother's Day! Today was a rest day for weights for me and I did my JM BodyShred too! YAY US!

    Monday weigh in day: I wasn't sure where else to post this but this is a catchall thread I guess. So I'm posting my inches lost over the last 2 weeks. My weight hasn't budged at 148 but I'm lifting weights and doing JM shred on my rest days. Definitely losing inches! I'm learning that the scale isn't everything :smile:

    4/25 - 5/9
    Waist: 1.5" lost
    Hips: 1.5" lost
    Chest: 0.5" lost
    Thigh: 1.75" lost
    Calf: 0.25" lost
    Bicep: 0.25" lost

    Thanks!! I was surprised..because I'm not losing weight.. but I'm good with inches. :)
    Hey..they all had to start at the beginning too! The machines are good, I just wanted to get past that intimidation..so I'm doing a mix of free weights and machines for stabilizing muscles (mostly shoulders, core and glutes/hips). I started with just the bar..and felt like a whimp but I can't get better unless I start where I am! I've done a lot of reading here on lifting and watched tons of videos. Got a free consult with a trainer to get me started on barbell squats & bench press. Found a better/cheaper trainer that I'm going to consult with about 1xmonth for form checks and for reevaluating my plan. That's $25/ month which is totally doable for me. Just keep learning and know if you want to do free weights you can!
