Happy Birthday Deb!! hope you have a fantastic day.
regarding your thighs: your brain IS probably screwing with you. especially if the measurements are the same. i will mention that when i started DLing (i pull sumo) my pants were tighter in the ass and thighs but they were not fatter or worse looking.
yay for 50+1 and being hawt!
Happy Birthday!!!
May it be THE BEST year yet…

Thanks Mel. I have a big slice of homemade coconut cream pie waiting back at my place. No cake this year cuz I didn’t know a good local place to get a slice.
Happy Birthday Deb. Really cute new avi.
Thanks ksnap! That was at my son’s graduation in June.
Happy belated Birthday!
Sounds like you’re having fun on Tony’s program! Keep us updated!
Thanks Greeny!
Alright people, here’s my 145 rack pull. I did 150’s after that. They were doable.
lookin good Deb 
Thanks nlmain!
Time for an update. I’m in my third week of working with Tony and it’s been 6 weeks since I last measured myself. Here’s my progress:
7/29/10
Weight 148 (-2.0)
Chest 36.5 (-.5)
Waist 32 (-1.5)
Hip 36.5 (-1.0)
Thigh 21 (-0.5)
Arm 12 (0)
Forearm 10 (0)
Calf 14 (-1.0)
I’m pretty happy with the inches lost, especially the waist and hip changes. Onward!
That’s awesome progress Deb! He’s a keeper
great progress, less inches + more strength is fantastic stuff.
Good job! Like seeing those types of negatives!
Okay ladies I just got my new program from Tony. I get to take the hex trap bar over to the gym next week! Yay! Very excited! He really seems to have stepped up the program compared to the first month. I’m doing front squats, trap bar deadlifts, pulldowns, something called the “death circuit” (great name, yeah?), push ups, rows, planks, presses, lunges…and that’s just on Day 1. I kid, I jest! There are lots of other smaller moves too mixed and mingled in. He asked me to video my DB step ups and when I did, my friend Patti and I decided to send a “bonus” video. Attached for your viewing pleasure. He said it made his week and he got a good laugh out of it.
Arg, I do this every time. Here’s the vid.
haha! we’ve got our own Peltrow look a like! No-way - your way hotter and I’d take your calves over hers any day.
