Since it's been a few days, and I know I've rearranged my intended schedule a bit, I'm having trouble remembering exactly what I did, and when.

So I'll work backwards.

I just finished Kenpo X. I think I'm getting the hang of the routine, all except the star blocks at the very end where Tony goes super fast and I don't have the coordination to keep up with him. But I only miss a couple of moves, so it's not too bad.

I'm pretty sure this morning I did an Ab Ripper X routine. At least I've got an Ab Ripper recorded for the 2nd of November with 376 moves in it.

Saturday I did legs and back. For the legs stuff, since I don't have a place to write any of it down, I'm just kind of remembering that stuff as best I can. And I'm pretty sure I'm doing more reps, and using weight on more of the moves. For the back stuff (pull ups and chin ups) I am keeping track of those - and this time around I feel pretty good about my results - 50 pull ups and 30 chin ups. That's 80 pull ups and chin ups moves!

Friday was Halloween, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything.

Thursday, it looks like I did the shoulders and arms routine. Or I did those so late on Wednesday that the date was marked as Thursday. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Which means I didn't do anything Thursday or Friday of last week - not even Yoga. So shame on me.

Next week is my first recovery week; at the end of which I get to take all new measurements ad pictures. I've been weighing myself off and on throughout the last 3 weeks, and my weight has been trending downwards, but isn't consistently lower - if you look at the graph of my weight, it looks like I've taken two steps forward, one step back. But that's OK - at least the trend is in the right direction. And at the lowest, I've lost about 5 pounds from my highest point - at least the highest point I was willing to graph. (Near the beginning of my push ups and pull ups in July I was actually a few pounds heavier, but I didn't have the heart to admit to that weight. And I still don't, so don't ask. I'll just leave it at "a few".)

So to recap for the week - I did all the resistance-centric routines, as well as the plyometrics, Kenpo, two Ab Rippers - I skipped the Yoga and an Ab Ripper. All in all, an OK week.

But I can do better.
