It appears there is less muffin-top love these days. I managed to squeeze into my size 6 ON jeans yesterday…it was still tight and it looks like the battle of the bulge–but I’m winning.

That .5 inch gain on my upper arms have me thinking that the frequent cardio and strength training is finally making a difference. Now if I could focus some of that exercise on my glutes and thighs. I’m still noticeably weak in those areas, but today’s strength training had me on the next color bands: GREEN!

While I am disappointed that it took me three months to get here, I must say that it’s good validation to finally see some progress. This will be my first week attempt to run/jog a mile every morning. Hope to be able to keep it up! 

One thing I need to remember to do is take my BP meds in the evenings. It has given me better energy for the morning workout.
