My kick ass workout!!!!

So I've been doing the 30 minute Celebrity Fit Club BootCamp Workout for the past couple of weeks...until this past Monday, anyway. I started doing the 50 minute version.
It's basically the same as the 30 minute version for the first half hour, but after that you REALLY kick it into high gear. What an excellent workout. It's not TOO hard, but it's not easy, either. You don't get time to rest! It's a fast-paced cardio workout that also includes moves to strengthen your arms, legs, back and stomach! I like that it inclues cardio and strength training.

When you're done, there's a nice cool down period. It's a challenging workout that makes you want to keep going!! It gives you a sense of strength & power!
I must say, if you're eating properly and you do this workout, you will lose weight like crazy! It's pretty intense. I love it.

I'm so used to it now that I can do the 30 minute version without barely breaking a sweat. That's why I force myself to do the 50 minute one. I don't feel like I get a good enough workout by just doing the 30 minute one. It's not enough. I never thought I'd say that...I used to hate exercise.

Anyways, that's my workout. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good way to lose weight and tone your body at the same time!

4 pounds - gone!!

I weighed myself on Tuesday, and am happy to say I've lost 4 pounds already!! I was pretty happy as I didn't expect to lose that much. I am continuing on my plan, 'cause hey - it's working!! So, I'm losing about 2 pounds a week, which is healthy, according to " experts". But, I admit I haven't exercised as much as I should have. I'm obviously working out enough to lose weight, but I'd like to lose a little more per week, if possible, so I'm going to step it up a little!

Next weigh in is in3 days! Hope to have lost a few more pounds!

To all my readers...keep up the good work, thanks for reading and I'll have another update soon!

To cheat...or not to cheat...on your birthday.

So today was my 21st birthday. I've been doing pretty good diet-wise lately. Today I didn't do bad. I did have some pizza, cake and ice cream, but it wasn't enough to make me feel guilty or anything. I am practicing my motto of "moderation, not deprivation" and it's working. I wouldn't dare eat like that every day, but occasionally, there's nothing wrong with it.

So, if anyone out there feels like they can't indulge a little on a special day, YES you can.

On to something else...

I'm still working on my site. It's really coming along great. It's way better than what I thought it would be. I have had so many ideas flowing it's crazy. It's easy to think of ways to improve and add to my page, but I need help increasing my traffic. What good is a site that has no traffic? So, that's what I need to focus on for awhile.

Until next time...

Check out my website!

I started a website for my "Diary of A Fat Ass" weight loss journey.
I've worked on it quite a bit, but I'm not finished yet. I have a few more pages and things to add, but it will be done soon.

For now, there's lots of things to check out! Click here to visit my site!

So far, so good...

Well, everything is going fine for me. I'm back on the road to health. I must admit I'm not quite used to it yet, I'm used to eating anything and never exercising, but that's ok. It'll pass. I am enjoying exercise, actually. I like the satisfaction of it when I finish each day. I know I'm on my way. :)

About my choice of exercise -

Currently, I'm doing the 30 minute "Celebrity Fit Club Bootcamp Workout!" It is a brutal but excellent workout for beginners. I've done it plenty of times before, so it's not so bad. The DVD also includes a 50 minute workout. I'll get to that soon but for now I just want to do the shorter workout so I don't hurt myself. LOL

You may have seen "Celebrity Fit Club" on VH1 in recent years. It's a show where overweight celebrities compete on teams to lose weight. Harvey Walden is the Drill Sergeant and he will kick your ass! If you've seen him in action, you know what I mean!
He is the instructor on the dvd, which makes it kinda fun.

It really is a great workout. One of the best I've ever seen and done. It combines plenty of cardio with a little strength training for a full body workout. You will lose a lot of weight doing this workout!!

The 'weight' is OVER!

I'm moments away from my first workout in quite awhile. I started my new 100% healthy lifestyle today, and I feel good!
The workout I'll be doing is not an easy one, but I've done it plenty of times before. It works, and that is what matters. It's the Celebrity Fit Club workout. I'll get into more detail about that later on, but right now I have some exercise to do!
