Observations:

I have lost a lot of muscular definition since this time last year, but I don't think my weight and measurements have not changed significantly. This time last year, I was doing weight training on a regular basis. This year, it has fallen back significantly, due to scheduling issues and a couple of injuries and bouts with sickness.

I realize I'm a little bloated today because of my good old uterus, but I'll have more definition by the time the week is up.

I am not unhappy with my current level of fitness, but I want to bring my definition back to where it was last year, and then exceed it. Quite a lot. This will take a bit of reshuffling of my schedule, and a little less active participation in the boot camp classes I lead.

My diet is pretty good, but I can clean it up even more than it is.

I'm curious to see where the TRX training takes me. It was a brutally intense workout today that left me absolutely weak, soaking, and trembling on the floor. Walking home took a LOT longer than usual. I expect the DOMS will be lots of fun over the next day or two.

Stretch, get massage or foam roller and drink lots of water... good luck and I'm curious to see where it takes you, too :)

Maybe it's the lighting, but I can see a lot more definition in your quads that I have before. Go, you!
