Body temps - rising and post workout (I always get the chills real bad after a satisfying workout. Now I know why.)

Sun - R 97.4
Mon - R 97.4
Tue - R 97.8 (Started thermogenics at lunch)
Wed - R not taken, post workout 97.8 (Thermo in am and at lunch)
Thur - R 98.8 post workout 97.8 (Thermo before pm workout)

Up until today I dreaded doing the upper body workout. Part of it was because I had so much trouble finding the right exercises, part of it was because I was so focused on trimming down my lower half, which is the problem area.

Today, things seem to have clicked for me. First off, thanks to some advice from Nat and Marlaine, the new adjustments were satisfying. Secondly, I'm starting to see some differences in the slope of my shoulders. When I compare the progress picture I posted just before starting BFL, and what I saw in the mirror today...well it appears that my shoulders are more square and less droppy. I like the new look.

Warmup to the first 4 songs of the aerobics tape...2 upper and lower stretch routines and 2 upper and lower mild aerobics. This is the first time I've done a longer warmup and it seems to have paid off. Will continue to do this for weight training and before running.

All done with dumb bells

Chest
Bench press 12/8 10/8 8/8 6/8 12/8
Flyes 7/8 ouwie that one was a killer HM10s

Shoulders
Press 12/8 10/5 8/5 6/5 12/5
Side raises 12/2 and it took every last ounce to get that 12th rep up parallel HM10s

Back
Rows 12/8 10/5 8/5 6/8 12/8
Bent over rows 10/8 another killer to get to the 10th HM10s

Triceps
Kickbacks 12/2 10/3.5 8/5 6/8 12/8
Extensions10/8 another killer to get to the 10th HM10s

Biceps
Curls 12/8 10/10 8/10 6/10 12/8
Hammer curls 8/8 Was really pushing the limit on these using the 10 pound weights. HM10s

I hit my 10s on everything. This hasn't happened before with the upper body workout. This was a surprisingly satisfying workout

ps If anyone is reading this, I posted a question under the thermogenics thread in the general exercise forum. I could really use an answer, and don't want my question to bet burried in the length of that thread. Thanks so much
