Pictures of the Unhealthy Fran

I am back from the trip to 99 Ranch Market, it is an Asian market over in Dublin (CA not Ireland). I purchased lots of good things, napa cabbage, bok choy, carrots, cucumber, green onion to make an Asian salad, yummy! I will cut all that up tonight or tomorrow and have salads for the week. It keeps really good in a large glass bowl covered with plastic wrap. I make my own dressing too so I know what is in it. Maybe I will post the recipe later. It is the mix of two different recipes that gives it this great Asian flare. I also bought some BBQ pork bun (Dim Sum) for dinner tonight, along with some hot and sour soup mix and edame.

While I was at the store I bought some vegetable chowmein. They had it on sale - buy one, get one free - two cartons (you know those small Chinese take out cartons). It was only $1.75 for one, so I ate one there and had some water and that was lunch.

Before I left I did the Power Sculpt workout. It was good, but some of the moves I just can't do yet. My balance sucks and I really need to invest in some small hand weights, but maybe in a couple of weeks. Right now just doing the motions I feel it in the muscles that I haven't used in forever. I am glad that I got the DVDs that I did, but for now I am going to do the workouts in the following order: The Workout 1, The Workout 2, Cardio Max & Power Sculpt (alternate days), Boot Camp. Here is the cover of the first DVD:

For the first 6 weeks I will be doing The Workout (Vol. 1) June 19 - July 31st. The workout has 4 different workouts that are alternated each day. I will be working out 6 days a week and taking Sunday off. I was playing around this week with the DVDs since I have to return them to the library, so I did the following workouts for this first week:

19th - Workout 1
20th - Workout 1
21st - off (it's Sunday!)
22nd - Workout 3
23rd - Workout 1
24th - off (yeah I know, I got busy looking for hand weights online and one thing led to another...)
25th - Cardio Max
26th - Power Sculpt

This coming week I will be alternating with the workout 1 & 3 on the DVD. The way it works is one day you are working more at a cardio level and the next day is toning and cardio. Both really great workouts. I am supposed to do these for the first 3 weeks, then do 2 & 4 alternating for the next three weeks. This should be great!

Now for the hardest part for me. The pictures of me.

When did I get the 3rd chin????

Ah, from the side I only have two chins. Great improvement. LOL

Yes, I am showing all sides. I never see more than the front, you know.

Now the side I never see, my fat butt and the rolls.

Ok, enough sharing for today. Have a blessed Sunday everyone and I will see you all on Monday!
