It builds very quickly, but it's not like an instant jolt when i get into the position. |

10-15 lbs - I had reached my goal weight (acutally a bit below!) but unfortunately gained a bunch back in the last 6 months. Time to buckle down again. |

Go me! :P In retrospect, I probably should have eased back into it a bit more instead of trying to start where I last left off. At least my quads have been saying so for the last 48 hours.... |

@kikt -- You can do it again indeed! Know what you mean on the sweets. I have a new BF (well not THAT new - almost 5 months) who keeps bringing me chocolates... dangerous indeed. It probably wasn't all muscle, thankfully. I definitely needed some to be Maggie the cat... lots of crawling about on furniture, etc. However, doing 15 pushups is a LOT harder now than it was, say, a month or two ago. Doing Sally Bowles in Cabaret next (we start rehearsals November 28th -- so I will once again be attempting to dance! Eep! Very excited to do this part, actually.)

Melkor, you'd be proud of me, I picked up (and generally moved about) lots of heavy things on Monday for this first time in a while. The plan is to do it again today. (Only different heavy things...in different ways...)

Hi kikt! Thankiez :) Good to be back. I did manage to keep mostly on track while away. Once again got entirely too busy with theatre.
Actually, I lost four pounds on the Tennessee Williams diet - haha! Unfortuantely, I think most of it was muscle. |

Haha! Hi Pavlov cat :) Honestly, I wasn't a huge socialite even when I was on CC all the time, so I don't suppose very many people noticed I was missing, LOL.

TTOM is giving me scary numbers... so I shall not weigh in. At least I went to BodyPump on Sunday. My show is ending after this week so I can get back to serious exercising. I'm thinking of starting NROLFW in earnest soon. |

Thanks AG! Yeah I realize I screwed up my cut and paste there. I havent really started yet, although I've mixed in workout A here and there. I might jump in to the program for real in july or august. writing everything out now to try to get my head around it. I enjoyed the book. It'd be really hard for me to give up BodyCombat, though! Not sure if I'd be able to do it in addition as the workout schedule looks very challenging and he sounds pretty insistent about the rest days. |

Kind of a tangent on this post, but I am trying to figure out how Stage 2 Workout B is set up because it has so many more exercises in it than the other workouts have had... do I have this right?

You're not really chubby - a bit 'soft' though. You should do more strength training :) Especially real heavy lifting. I like BodyPump, but also going at really heavy weights with less reps is a great thing to do, too. I tend to be the same. I am trying to "tighten up" as it were. Get stronger. Makes you look cut and really awesome. |

113 *facedesk* I'm really not trying that hard, though. I need to get back on the "victory train" as my brother likes to say. More and more I think around 110 is just my set point and there's nothing I can do about it unless I another radical change in my habits. Not sure I'm really willing to do that. |

You're right Shane, just frustrating not to be able to break the plateau. Also, I am totally sold on your story. Damn pizza and it's deliciousness! |

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
