Back to work

I bought the Bialetti Moka Express at Williams-Sonoma Monday. I threw away the old espresso machine; that opened up some space on the counters for me. The saleswoman told me that it didn't produce a lot of froth but I was actually happy with the amount produced. One difference is I use 1% and she uses skim, according to Weight Watchers it's the same number of points for 6 ozs.

I started body sculpting Monday. I've been doing cardio for the past 6 months. I wanted to add some toning to my routine. I've lost 30 lbs. so far and I want to start firming up. I'm using Lean, Long & Strong: The 6-Week Strength-Training, Fat-Burning Program for Women (Paperback) . When I did the exercises Monday and Tuesday I felt like I wasn't really working anything. That changed when I woke up Wednesday morning and my abs and legs were sore. What I like most about the workouts are that I can complete the sculpting in about 5 - 10 minutes, do 20 minutes of cardio and be back at work within the hour.

Tonight, we are going out to dinner with Michael's parents to celebrate his father's 76th birthday.
