Saturday is a crazy busy day for me. But, I made myself get up at 8:00, get to the gym by 8:30, get 30 minutes of cardio done, hit BodyPump, and stayed for 30 more minutes. So I had gotten two hours of working out done by 10:30. And breaking up my cardio like that really made it more doable. Tuesday I increased my chest weight. Today I increased my back weight all while maintaining the increased tricep weight with which I have been struggling. By the way, none of you have commented why I would want a nice back or chest muscles. I increased them anyway. Next, I will work on my biceps -- the toughest weight of all!
My big accomplishment of the day was attending a birthday party and not wasting all my calories on cake. Now, those who know me, which you all do right? You know that I absolutely love cake. I love all cake, and I love frosting. I don't understand you people who scrape off the frosting. It's too sweet! you all claim. Sheesh -- that is the flavor of heaven! But here's what I did: I made Jennifer leave me two bites of her cake. I said: Take one big enough that you'll have two bites left. So then, I got to enjoy cake, but in moderation. And then I avoided the cake table, because I have no self-control.
Tonight I have another work party/birthday celebration. I'm pretty sure that there will be cake there too. And I won't have Jennifer there to leave me left-overs. I also don't have enough will power to take my own piece of cake and leave half of it. That's sacrilegious, to leave cake on a plate. So I am going to skip the cake altogether -- I already had cake today. My scale better appreciate this when Monday comes!

I am always beyond impressed by your will power!!! And I admire your creative ways of moderating your cake consumption.
You didn't mention how they played your favorite song at Body Pump! Also, I think the only way you will be completely buff is to work on all muscle groups, without neglecting the ones you don't think are as important. I figure, if you're there for an hour, you might as well be working hard on all muscle groups.
I made no comment about the back/chest muscles because they are important (and two of the stronger) muscle groups. You'd be all lopsided if you didn't work on those muscles. I am just biased because my back is one of my favorite muscle features. No cellulite to ruin the view and it is nicely toned. I don't care how strong my legs get, they still look like cottage cheese.
Oops, sorry, you can delete one of those comments, and this one when you read it!
The song Jennifer is refering to is: Make your body pump, pump! And the reason I love it is silly, but true. When Jennifer and I first started taking BP (when was that, like 2003) we would jump around our apartment singing: make your body pump pump. Make your body, make your body, make your body pump pump. And do these kicking and punching things. Bascially it reminds me of a simpler (funner?) time! You know, like when jennifer would use her robe to be a super-hero!!!
