Friday was the last day of the 4 week program I’ve been following. The scale, as always, frustrated me. I lost 6.4lbs. But, I felt a bit better after final measurements. I lost about 2 inches from each area: chest, waist, hips. Moving in the right direction and just going to try and keep rolling with it.
Not sure what program I want to try next. Going to go back to “Best Damn for Natural Lifters” (push/pull) for now.
And I gotta give props to my hubby who changed his whole routine to do the workouts with me. (getting to the gym 4 hours earlier than he’s used to and getting out of his comfort zone with BB Hip Thrusts, Duck Walks, Cable Kickbacks, etc.)
