Since my nephew's visit which began in early July my weight loss had been on hold ... up a few kilos during those 4 weeks and now just about back where I was before his arrival. So it's like 2 months of wasted time really ... time I feel I've made no progress, really, in my weight loss. BUT I continued working out while he was here, and for the last 3 weeks I've increased my workouts to 6 days a week. I feel amazing! People keep coming up to me the last few weeks and saying how much weight I've lost, and I'm thinking ... no I haven't! Not since the first week in July! BUT so many people keep saying it ... maybe all the extra working out has toned me up and built muscle so that while it doesn't show on the scale, I could be losing fat! I get a weigh and measure this Wednesday, so it will be interesting to see how many centimeters I'm down. My local Curves where I work out has even hung up my progress photos in the center! I feel like a celebrity. LOL Now the new challenge has nothing to do with fitness ... my hubby bought me a guitar! I've always wanted to learn but never felt I could do it. Well now I have no excuse! Ha! It's hard on the fingers, I didn't think it would actually HURT to play guitar. But you gotta start somewhere and I'm told you get used to it. So right now I'm doing really beginner level stuff. I'll let you know how I progress. It's frustrating because I'm using to picking things up very quickly, especially where computers are concerned ... but this is actually going to take some time! Ah well ... I may never be playing for crowds, it's really just for myself that I wanted to do this, so I can take things at my own pace. Anna
