I finished up Red Carpet Ready... sort of. Clearly it's going to take a bit longer than six weeks to turn me into a delicate little flower. I'm having so much fun that I don't want it to be over yet, so I'm going to continue on with some more Valerie Waters workouts from her blog.
Thoughts so far: I love my abs. They're as defined as I've ever seen them, and that's without a tan! RCR includes a lot of really killer core moves - sliding planks, weighted crunches, etc.. I like my shrinking quads that don't stretch skinny jeans to the breaking point. My arms seem smaller, but are still scary as hell if the light hits them right. My weight has dropped back into the 130s, and at 5'8" I wasn't sure it was ever going to do that again without a hardcore dieting rampage, which I have no interest in. In fact, I just received a big box of chocolate from Canada where Cadbury Eggs are available all year. THAT intrests me! :-)
Rather than having any numbers in mind, my goal is just to have fun and stay fit. I'd also like to work toward a look that's a little less "boxer" and a little more "yoga instructor." I don't have the patience or attention span to actually DO yoga, mind you; I just want to look good in yoga pants. I'm also weirdly over wanting to be big and strong and ripped. All of the bodybuilding and fitness principles that used to thrill me make me yawn now.
I actually followed instructions on the suggested weights. I used 5, 8 and 12 pound dumbbells. I went with 5 on shoulders, 8 on arms and 12 on chest and back. For most leg exercises, I used no weight. That approach is not for everybody. Women who don't have much muscle to begin with would probably benefit from going heavier. But RCR's light weights and insane no-rest enduranceathon workouts are great for anybody who is already muscular and trying to tone it down a little (me), or anybody who doesn't want any hint of added size, or anybody who's looking for a brief change of pace from heavy lifting.
In addition to dumbbells, you need a tall step, a stability ball, a resistance band, and Valslides. The Valslides are a blast! The exercise variations you can do with them are pretty much endless. There's a new video at Valslide.com that shows them in action. It features lots of WILD moves, and there's a hilarious "special guest" at the end.
If there are any drawbacks to Red Carpet Ready, it's that strength workouts can easily take over an hour, which seemed like a blazing eternity at first, but it does burn a lot of calories. Once you get in the groove and quit rolling around on the floor gasping, things move pretty quickly. Another possible concern is that there are a wicked insane number of lunges, squats, and step-ups in this program, which could cause some knee stress if your form is off or if your knees are tricky in general. I didn't have any problems, and I had ACL surgery last year, but if you're prone to knee pain, know what you're getting yourself into. 
The nutrition plan is very Zone/BFL/PN. Good nutrition is good nutrition. If someone is eating well, I don't think you could look into their cooler and tell which program they were doing. The principles are going to be the same. The suggested Red Carpet Ready portion sizes are fairly small, and it's funny how when I followed them I lost weight. So, mostly I followed them, but if I wanted a bigger portion or needed chocolate, I just ate it. I like the fact that there is protein at every meal, but it's not a bodybuilding throw-up-a-chicken amount of protein. For example, one of my favorite "snacks" is a poached omega egg on a piece of whole grain toast with some steamed asparagus. It only takes six or seven minutes to make. It has about the same calories/ratios as a Luna or Zone bar, but it's SO much more satisfying.
I took no measurements and I had zero intention of taking a picture. Anything smacking of a "challenge" or an "end date" sets off all of my crazy bells and destroys any fun I might be having. In fact, I went a bit bonkers over taking this picture because I don't feel like I'm done yet; I'm just enjoying the process and excited about what comes next.
But it looks good on you.
