Day 7 and Day 8 - X Stretch and Chest & Back + Ab Ripper

We made it through our first week! Happiness! Yesterday I got up and had to do some cleaning around the house. I popped in X Stretch and intermittently did some stretches in between cleaning. I had to scrub our dirty shower/tub which I am pretty sure counts as an extra cardio workout.

We went to our Halloween party and I did have a few fistfulls of sugary and chocolatey goodness, but I only had one beer which I thought was pretty good will power. Ryan on the other hand fell completely off the wagon. He had about 5 beers and some liquor drinks and the candy too. Oh well, I don't think one night of debauchery will ruin our results.

Today we did chest and back again and I had forgotten how much this one kicks your ass...err..arms. I still had to do most of the push ups on my knees, and I started out on the bars but switched to bands half way through. I just don't think I'm quite strong enough for the bar yet and I need to build some more upper body strength first. Ab ripper was a bitch as usual. I hate hate hate it!

We have both started seeing some small improvements in our bodies. The fat is shrinking and some muscle definition is popping up all over the place. We keep saying 'If this is only after one week, imagine what we will look like 12 weeks from now!'. We are both super excited!

Having some steak and steamed veggies tonight for dinner to celebrate our 1 week accomplishments!

We snapped a couple of pictures after getting all sweaty after our workout for your enjoyment! :)
