This afternoon I did:
Caroline Girvan - 5 Min Full Body Warm Up with Caroline Girvan
Followed by her:
20 Minute Full Body Complexes and Sets Workout | Dumbbells

What a great workout and I loved that Staple Complex. Got my heart pumping right from the first move and kicked my butt at the end (in a good way). I needed far more time than she did to do 5 reps of each at the end, but got it done and felt really good. I upped my weights to 5kg when I saw that RDLs were involved and I do love my RDLs. Interested to see what DOMS there are after this one because Monday's workout only gave me some twinges in the stomach muscle area yesterday - so I think I was ready for that extra kilogram.

It's our 22nd wedding anniversary today and I always pride myself on weighing less than I did at 24 when we got married, which was 68kg. For the last couple of years I've hovered above that, but this morning the new Renpho scale reading was 68.10kg so I'll take that as a win. Hubby, on the other hand is currently around 130kg and I think he weighed give or take 110kg when we got married. And he was around 95kg when we first met and he looked so cool in his wet suit for the few months he took up surfing.:) He is 2m tall so carries it well, but I still think he could do with losing 20kg for his own health. I hope that he'll flip the switch in his mind sometime and want that for himself as well. I hope the new scale and some small subtle changes will have him at a much lower weight in a year's time, but we shall see.

Hope you're all having a great week! Happy Wednesday! xxx
