  • Picture of the Week:
The vein that appeared on my stomach after a couple of weeks of H&C started to fade last week when I slacked off. But just 3 days back on and here it is, even when I'm not flexed. Hooray!

  • Notes: 
    • It seems strange that I’m having a downturn in stats but am spending plenty of time exercising… I blame it all on food and exhaustion.  Not excuses, but reasons
    • I didn’t weigh in because we had a date night the night before Wednesday
    • Overall, I’m happy with my progress and the program, but I will say that lifting weights 6 days a week is really hard to do – I’m ready for a break!
  • Before and After Photos:
9 Weeks of weight lifting and it's obvious my abs were the big winner!

Not exactly the same angle, but there are some changes

I'll take it!  Definite progress in arms and abs

Honestly, I don't notice much of a change here other than my shoulder muscle looking larger
