    HI everyone,

    I am on Pacific Time Zone so I am just getting ready to head to Derby Practice. intense 2 hr workout... but I have already done 50 squat kicks and 50 pushups, for this week I am going to stick with the PYGMY SERIES then I will decide next week if I want to go advanced.

    I was able to do the 4 min tabata first and that was great! except two things, first of all I am not able to bring my arm up with a dumbell unless I went to my knees, and second I couldnt do the twists while holding the dumbell with my feet off the ground. I tried ;) maybe tomorrow, I wont give up.

    I am already at more than 64oz of water... water is my friend. I will probably drink another 64 before the night is over due to derby practice. I am sure i will stay under my calorie goal as I have been for more than 6 weeks straight.

    Today I weighed in at 214.4 that is my official starting weight for the month
    I would love to lose 10-12lbs this month!!!! YAY let's do this!

    Whenever they don't have something, I just pick something that looks even remotely like it might have a similar effect...even though you're under in cals anyway, I know *I* get so motivated knowing everything I did!! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done!

    Fantastic, Crystal!! That's awesome that you are getting our required exercises in too....as far as having a hard time with certain things, just modify them as you need to. I can't do globe jumps...they destroy my knees, so I modify them into just squats without the jumps! Whatever you can do counts!! Great job!

    Thanks this is VERY helpful!!! OMG:noway: Is that what we're going to be doing for week 2??? Killer!!! I see why this is a success if you follow it and push yourself.

    I also noticed with the globe jumps he says that (each jump for us counts as one) Well yesterday I thought 4 jumps =1... boy did I struggle with those...LOL so this is good news!!!
