Four weeks in, I can’t believe it has been a month. Overall I’m doing wonderful, though I’m a little frustrated with my weight. I’m following the program, I know what I’m eating and burning thanks to the Bodybugg I wrote about yesterday, yet I’m on a plateau.

Missed yesterday due to an event at my daughter’s school. Today I kicked it up a notch on the weights. I skipped the shoulder presses though since my right shoulder joint is bothering me.

Three weeks in, 49 more to go. I’m doing awesome! I think the weekly accountability is helpful, so I’m considering continuing with the weekly updates. I’d mentioned dropping back to monthly after kicking it off, but I think I’ve changed my mind on that point. This week is another success!
