An Uneventful Week

All in all, this has been a pretty good week.  I went through my first workouts without the muscle relaxants.  My back felt much better, though I did have a little bit of discomfort.   I couldn't do the dead lifts at the weight I’d done last week.  Other than that, every other exercise was fine.

We had one last (Hopefully!) snowstorm last week.  That was the only day that I didn't get out to exercise.  I also managed to keep up with the yoga stretches.  My Zumba instructors were on fire last week.  They definitely put us through our paces.

I cut way back on the treats, but still put away quite a bit of food.  I'm talking offensive lineman level eating.  I just couldn't seem to get full.  When the dust finally settled, I’d picked up 2 lbs.

I'm pretty satisfied with my progress to date.  The belly fat is stubborn, but its steadily shrinking.  I'm getting decent muscle development and my clothes are fitting pretty well.  I feel strong and my endurance is up.  I got a lot of encouragement and positive comments over the week, especially at the gym.  I was complimented on my work ethic and the progress that I've made.

All things considered, I think that I'm on a good pace.  I just need to keep it up.

Weight loss to date: 46.8 lbs.
