" Two weeks ago I asked for your advice and tips on how to exercise while on vacation. Nicole Larsen, ex-GHRI team member, now founder and president of Envision Health &amp;amp;amp; Wellness LLC, provided some great advice\u2013-about 4 pages long--telling me step by step how to keep exercising all my muscle groups without using dumbbells. For chest, triceps, and shoulders she recommended knee push-ups and reverse push-ups. So all I&amp;#039;ll need is a padded surface such as a plush carpet. For biceps, she made-up a routine for me consisting of lifting handled bags--filled with books for added weight. And if I can get hold of an exercise band, which will be easy to carry in my luggage, I have a whole series of exercises for triceps, shoulders, and, rhomboids that she carefully outlined for me. Well with this travel exercise routine from Nicole, I have no excuse not to keep exercising my arms during my trip. Thank you Nicole! As to the progress made last week, Charmaine and I hit the HearstTower gym to show you that I can really lift those not-so-wimpy weights! In my last Weight Watchers weigh-in, the reading on the scale came down from the week before, but I didn&amp;#039;t record a new low yet. So obviously the quest continues. This will be my last blog entry before my trip. I will try to send in photos of myself after hopefully trying some of the travel-friendly moves described above and I&amp;#039;ll ask my team to post them for me. But then again, since I will be thousands of miles away, I&amp;#039;m not sure how the technicalities will pan out. So if you don&amp;#039;t see a post from me for a few weeks, don&amp;#039;t just assume that I&amp;#039;m lying on the sand at the beach, and rather that I&amp;#039;m having technical difficulties:) "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
