Thank-you...

Thank-you so much for the compliment!! It made my day

. You already look great, so everything you do now will just be "icing on the cake." O.K. we have to forget about cake now

.... You know I think my son was about 9 months old when I first started lifting weights-- he's 19 years old now. There were a lot of years in there where I wasn't lifting, that's when all the trouble started. I'm glad to be back at it-- Now if I could just control my eating!!

130.5lbs

Bonjour mon amis!

I'm still holding at 130.5lbs - and very excited about that. But I'm even more excited about the HIIT training I started yesterday

. Some of you may have already heard of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and it's ability to burn fat more effectively than low-intensity cardio, such as aerobics or jogging. Significant fat-burning effects can be achieved by applying the HIIT program three or four (4min-15min) sessions a week. I've committed myself to eight weeks of serious bodybuilding (heavier weights, less reps) and 4-8mins of HIIT (sprinting 30secs/jogging 30secs) 3 times a week (building up to 15mins of HIIT by week eight). At the end of 8 weeks I plan to see some muscles baby!

I've joined a bodybuilding forum so I may not be posting here as often. But I'll be sure to stop by everyone's journal from time to time to see how you guys are doing

.

I want to thank a new friend, Steve

, for educating me on the best way of shedding unwanted pounds while building muscle mass thru resistance training. Thanks mon ami, you're the bomb!

I got up early this morning to do personals and now I'm about to work back/bi (my favorite muscles to work) before Master Caleb awakes.

Yesterday's HIIT training went very well. I'm up to 9mins (I should be doing 6mins). Bill said my form is great - that I'm a controlled runner and I look like a professional sprinter

. Him don't know. . . he just wuvs me

Today I plan to purchase more weights. I was not thrilled with last nights tricep workout. I just wasn't getting the burn in that muscle because I don't have the weights to do it. I know Bill is planning to buy me some equipment for my birthday, but I just can't wait until then (I know, I'm impatient). I don't plan to buy much. Just a couple of free weights and maybe a barbell.

Well, I'm off! Hope everyone is having a great start to the day!

128lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised when I got on the scale this morning and it read 128lbs! Okay . . . who am I kidding . . . I was freakin' beside myself when I saw 128lbs . . . not once, but 10 times! Yes, I weighed myself 10 times to be sure!

Actually, I hit goal on Friday, but didn't have time to post because we were running late for a weekend getaway.

I'm just so siked that I reached goal before my Vegas trip to celebrate turning 36 again (Did everyone catch that

).

Okay . . . so hubby has made a request - that I not lose anymore because I've lost too much from his most celebrated part of my body - my butt! The lunges, squats and sprints I'm doing will take care of that, in time.

My workouts are going well. I feel myself getting stronger. Especially my legs. They are hard as rocks. And I'm beginning to see more definition in my arms. But I'm most proud of the progress of my back. I've always felt that was one area of my body that stood out the most.

Anyway . . . I'm really doing my thing this time . . . with the help of my cyber-trainer

. By Sept I hope to post some photos that show a significant amount of change.
