Oh wow! The first week of this challenge was, well, challenging! In the
past I have not done much in the way of strength training but this past
week I discovered muscles I forgot I had! I also discovered muscle
failure this week, and while that sounds bad, it's not. Muscle failure
is what you should push towards when strength training. I am already
seeing an increase in the reps with each workout.
Using the HJ-323U USB pedometer and Omron 510W Scale is so motivating. Without the pedometer I
doubt I would push myself as hard as I have been this week. Like I
posted last week I was overestimating how many steps I was
getting each day. I can't wait to get the Strapless Heart Rate Monitor (HR-5ooU) and learn
more about my heart rate while working out!
I want to extend a very sincere appreciation to Omron Fitness and Mamavation again for this opportunity. Since applying to be an
ambassador I have lost a total of 7.8 pounds and can already tell a
difference in the way my clothes fit!

Way to go! 7.8 pounds is awesome!
I'm sure it has been challenging, but you know, anything worth doing usually isn't easy! I am dying for a HRM so I can really get a good idea of what's going on when I'm working out!
I'm still learning to work toward muscle failure. The problem I have with it is.. well.. it hurts. Way to go!
I am SO excited for you! You're being a serious inspiration, girlfriend :)
Great job so far Kimberly! I am so glad you were chosen for this challenge and I hope that it brings you renewed energy to achieve your fitness goals!!
Great job so far! I hope you continue to see great results and renewed energy!
Awesome job on the first week! WOW. It's fun getting inspiration from everyone. My problem has not been over estimating the steps I'm taking (I know its not enough) but this pedometer sure helps kick me into the reality zone.
Fantastic progress!
Way to go, Kimberly! You are an inspiration! If you need someone to listen, I'm here! We're all out here rooting for you!
7.8! Way to go! I am so excited, and proud of you
