Ok today is day 6 and I have made it through the first week of torture, I mean exercise!!  Did I mention I hate this particular program ! LOL  I worked out every day this week and did fairly well with my water and food!  I am less sore now and am able to sit on the toilet unassisted! : )  So, I would say that is progress!  LOL  I was unable to resist the temptation of stepping on the scale this morning and have not lost or gained a thing.  I am not at all surprised by this because I am aware of the whole fat to muscle heavier thing.  I actually hopped off the scale more excited than ever!  I know that I will not realistically see any results until about the end of the third week because I know how my body works! I will find the patience somewhere deep within to wait (at that point however if there is not some indication that the prior three weeks of torture, I mean exercise were productive I will run over that dvd with my van several times before melting it! : )  Big grin!  Tomorrow will be a stretching workout which my body is begging for and then Monday starts the second pahse of the workout.  Everything increases from the reps to the intensity.  I also plan on increasing the weights I have been using.  This phase will last two weeks and then I will move up to the last phase for the last three weeks.  So, here’s to the first week down!  Clank!  Despite the whining I have thouroughly enjoyed the feeling of working my muscles again.  I can feel the very slightest beginnings of things tightening and waking up!  I am looking forward to next week!  Have a happy day!
