My brand new weights to go with the 10-minute upper body Popsugar workout I found on YouTube. They look purplish in this light, but in reality they're hot pink -- I suppose to remind me what a weak girly girl I am that I can only do 5 pound at this point. LOL ;) I've seen a few derisive comments in my life about women with their "little pink handweights." Still, it's a start and these are all I can do with this workout at the moment (and I still had to modify some of the exercises). I feel like I've won the battle of the kitchen to take off the weight. I could still stand to lose a few more, but I'm not at a bad spot and I think I may want to maintain for a while and focus on exercise. That said... I saw 129 on the scale this morning! First time I've broken 130! My weekly average (which I use as my official weight) is still hovering around 131, and yesterday I hiked and ate pretty lightly so "results not typical," but it was still fun to see :D The taped together things on the side were each a couple of one-pounders I scavenged from my leg weight set that I used the first time I tried the workout, but they were woefully inadequate. Happy Sunday, everyone!
