Notes:  Okay, the results of this past week were pretty good and the best I've had in awhile.  Sugar is the culprit, as well as starches.  So, it's not even the workouts, rather the diet.  When I reduce sugars and starches, keeping them super low or out of my diet, the fat DOES come off my mid-section.  There are 5 measurements I take in my torso area and all 5 of them had reductions.  I do think the workouts helped really kick the metabolism and helped it to be a bigger reduction, but it all starts with the diet.

I did more work this week on my calves with the exercises, and my calves don't often change, so this was a surprise that both my calves went down.  Woohoo!  My arms do feel leaner, but there was no change in my measurements at all.  Hopefully my chest will stay the same as all the other torso measurements go down.

Did not take pictures today as I have too many things going on this morning.  However, next Monday, I will take pictures as that will be the end of 4 weeks.  Hopefully I will stay on track this week and get my bodyfat to 23% or less.  Right now I'm in the middle of my menstrual cycle, so that makes me heavier.  Would love to be 2-3 lbs lighter next Monday, as well as 1 whole mm down in bodyfat.
