6:20 a.m.: Whole wheat English muffin - one side with little bit of butter, one side w/melted American cheese, small glass juice12:15 p.m.: Fat Fish Blue w/Susan: Grilled chicken sandwich w/ pepperjack cheese, lettuce, little bit of mayo, and BBQ sauce; sweet potato chips; diet coke (GREAT MEAL!)
7:30 p.m.: 1/2 sandwich - ham, cheese, and mustard on sourdough bread, 4 honey wheat pretzel sticks, 1 Nature's Way "Oreo"-style cookie, water
WORKOUT: Tonight I did The FIRM High Def Sculpt with Annie, which is the workout that is suggested for your first use with the TransFIRMation System. I can see why. It's an extremely easy workout, even for somebody who's pretty out-of-shape. I literally did not break a sweat the entire time, and I'm sure my heart rate never got raised. At the beginning the instructor tells you to have two sets of weights available: a light pair and a medium pair. The light ones that they are using are 3 pounds, and the mediums are 5 pounds. We never used the three pounders (thank God), but 5 pounds for the majority of these exercises was really a joke.
That said, I don't think it's a bad workout. What was really nice was that it moved slowly enough that you could easily change your weights and heavy up. I did that on some of the exercises that I knew I'd need a heavier weight for. The problem is when you do a workout for the first time, you have no idea what's coming so you have to err on the side of caution. But believe me, you can go heavier on most everything. This wasn't the most creative workout, which was fine by me. I wasn't in the mood to learn a ton of moves, and this was fairly straightforward. However, once you get more advanced, even with heavy weights this workout may be a little too easy as they don't have a ton of reps for each exercise.

Good job today! Hopefully you won't grow out of that new Firm system too quickly. I hope the other workouts are a bit more challenging for you.
