(Remember the old show "The Electric Company" on PBS???)
Whew! Just got back from the gym. I printed out the "Ab Boot Camp" article from
www.musclemedia.com (thanks AGAIN susanje!!!) and gave it a go after my cardio workout. I know I'm supposed to wait until the last four weeks but what the heck, my abs can use it!
Liz - Saw your website finally (should've just clicked on your homepage link on top of your post...duhhhh...). All I can say is - you can't POSSIBLY be a grandma - you look way too youthful! And you're doing great at BFL as well!
I've just "gotta crow" here (quoting Peter Pan). Life seems to be going really well for Jim and myself...we both love our jobs (we work at the same company), I'm feeling fit, we finally have some cool neighbors we can hang out with (we usually BBQ with them on the weekends) and best of all I can SEE and FEEL BFL working...even though I've only lost four or five pounds as of last Sunday, the strength training sessions have made a HUGE difference in my appearance in just a matter of six weeks. I'm totally amazed!
I'm planning on updating my website fairly soon - and will likely include my 'before' and 'after' BFL pix as well. I got Jim a digital camera for his birthday last week with the ulterior motive of being able to get those photos...I just need to borrow the scanner from our neighbor so I can scan the 'before' pix.
Susan - I bought a box of Myoplex Lite Bars (the toffee crunch flavor) for my weekday meal #4. As far as meal #5, every week I buy a bag of those Safeway frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts ($10.99 for 4 pounds) and toss one on the Foreman grill (I'll probably break down and get one of the big ones pretty soon). Near East Foods makes a terrific brown rice pilaf mix and something called "Creative Grains" which is brown rice, barley and bulgar wheat mixed with a bit of seasoning. I also like to get broccoli, sliced mushrooms, bell pepper, crushed garlic, etc and stir-fry them in a non-stick pan sprayed with Pam, and make a sauce with water/soy sauce/cornstarch and just a drop or two of sesame oil for flavor. Tres Yum!
Okay, I'm hungry now, time to wake up hubby so's I can make me a Myoplex Lite...
