Totally excited

My shoulders have been my weakest muscle since starting this program. The heaviest dumbbell that I've been able to lift with one specific shoulder exercise has been 5 pounds...and it took me about 6 weeks to get there. Pathetically weak!!! Well, today, I bumped it up to EIGHT pounds! I can remember trying the 8 lb weight a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't able to do the movement. Progress!!!

One thing that I wish that I'd have done was measure my arms. I swear that they are bigger. I wasn't wanting "bigger", but instead tone and definition. Oh well, now I'm bigger, toned and defined. :)

Today I failed to eat every 2-3 hours. I made a trip to the zoo and it turned out that I went from a 7am breakfast to a 2:30 lunch. NOT a good thing for me. It took a Myoplex Lite bar, several glasses of water, meatloaf dinner and a handfull of cherries (in 3.5 hrs) to finally feel satisfied. My blood sugar and body were screaming for help. Long story short...my snack bar was in the locker that I rented and if I were to open the door to retrieve it, I'd have to pay another $2 to get the key to lock again. Stupid, I know.
