" It was a challenge. But I&amp;#039;m happy to report that I&amp;#039;ve been able to get back into the exercise routine. I &amp;quot;bursted&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;weight trained&amp;quot; three times this past week. This meant that I sometimes trained late at night after the kids went to bed and the school lunches for the next day were packed, and that I tapped into precious sleep time---which definitely goes against the core of this program. When training with weights I noticed that my muscles haven&amp;#039;t gone mushy all the way. in fact after having had a break they actually felt stronger! For most of the exercises 8 pound weights now feel too light and I can use the 15 pounders for all moves for longer periods of time. In terms of bursting, I took to the stairs at home again. While my husband worries that I can slip and fall, I love the convenience of exercising right at home and think that I have pretty good traction since I go barefoot on carpeted stairs. This week was all about trying to get back to the challenge. For this coming week, I am setting the bar a bit higher. I&amp;#039;m committing to exercising four times a week, getting more sleep somehow, and as my weight loss seems to have stalled for sometime, staying within my Weight Watchers points. While I highly doubt that my arms will look like Michele Obama&amp;#039;s any time soon, I feel I have made some progress and look forward to seeing more definition in my arms and sharing the results with you in the next two weeks.
