So haven't posted for a few days. Stressful weekend (oldest dd in hospital - thankfully all fine now) so didn't get to do Saturday's makeup for Tuesday workout or yesterday's start of week 7 workout. All back to normal today thankfully. Did Max Interval Pylo this morning - 432 cals. Will try and double up a couple of days this week and get back on schedule. Phew - I'm knackered!!

Fair play for sticking to what seems a very tough programme! Have you seen changes in the 7 weeks?

All will be revealed at the end of week 9.... :-) To be honest not a huge drop in weight so far although that is really supposed to kick in this month (dum de dum waiting patiently!) Inch loss yes and my legs are only fab!! Big difference in appearance of upper arms and shoulders too - all those pushups are doing the biz. I absolutely love the programme and am reaping the mental benefits too (if I can do something this hard I can do anything etc etc). Tons of energy and lots of positive vibes flying around inside. Now I just have to repeat to myself a million times - 'its all about fat loss not weight loss'!!

P.s. thanks for sending it to me :-)

Yeah fook the scales
Have I linked you to this article before?
http://everydaypaleo.com/attention-scale-addicts-part-2/

will there be before & after pics for us?

You'll be rocking the halter tops/swimsuits/bikinis this Summer!

Methven

Ha ha hope so!!

Yes its definitely a big change in mind set to ignore the scales. I think I'm gradually getting there. The amount of effort I've put in over the last year or two has not been reflected in weight loss but I do believe I look way hotter

Here's to us all looking strong and fit in our swimsuits this year

Great job! Fitness test showing fantastic results! Shaun T is great isn't he!

I'm on week 3 myself. Is month 2 really that scary?

Thanks! I'm delighted with fitness level progression. Yes I love Shaun T. I'm planning on doing a hybrid next with P90x so I'm looking forward to seeing what that does to me! Also want to do Insanity Asylum - lots of plans!

Month 2 isn't really scary - its just longer. Most are 55-60 mins long so you'll be absolutely knackered . You'll know most of the moves by then though so will be well able to do them. Its actually good to move onto month 2 - week 5 (recovery week) is a bit boring! Anyway best of luck with it!

Week 8 Insanity
Tuesday - took it as my rest day. Was absolutely knackered for some reason. I normally feel like I'm in my 20s but yesterday I definitely felt like I was in my 40s!! :mad::mad: Anyway all back to normal today so will update later when I've done Wednesday's workout.
