Lulu's Journey on The Shadow Project

[Ilk]

Hi Ilk and Florencia! I hope you gals are enjoying the weekend, as well . Your posts are great motivators!!!


I started The Shadow Project this morning by doing 45 minutes on the treadmill. I will post my diet tonight after I get it logged in on FitDay.

I live in the mountains, so access to a gym is prohibitive. I do have my TotalGym and a barbell with weights. Right now I'm going down the list of leg exercises (for Monday) to see what Total Gym exercises would be comparable. I'm not sure what a 'hack' is but I'll get on the search for it.

I am posting three pics (back, side, legs). I couldn't bring myself to post my abs as they are a mess and I think it's too early in our relationship to have the forum crying for deliverance from the image. I will save it for the future and post it alongside my progress pic.

So far, so good...I can hardly wait to see if there is any difference at the end of week one.

You guys are great company!

HAPPY MONDAY LULU!!!

As long as you're doing the day to day plan with the project.. You're already on your way to success.. Don't be embarrassed to send pics.. We can give you feedback on what to work on and give you workout ideas for specific areas..

Have a happy, positive attitude with every workout.. Happy people plan actions, They don't plan results..

Mountains?? Where, if I may ask?

Good hiking thru mountains....good workout

The Black Hills of South Dakota. We have loads of trails out here, infact, I just did my HIIT on one of the trails this morning.

Good job girl

Thank you, sir.

Thanks ILK! I'll try to post them again, I tried to load them yesterday and my pc crashed. I posted later and the same thing. It's great to get advice on improvement...and that's a praise-worthy motto!
