Monday I started Chalene Johnson's TurboFire (again) and haven't missed a day (I'm taking pride in the little things)! Tuesday one of the dvd's didn't work and I just ran on the elliptical while watching Full House for 20 minutes, so I've even done more than necessary!
Monday I weighed in at 158.4. Ouch, that hurt to type. My heaviest was 161. This summer, before my wedding my lowest weight was 151. Basically the week and subsequent 2 months after my wedding I took a break off of working out and tracking my eating habits. And here I am. One Fifty Eight. No need to dwell. I am confident that the number has gone down this week, and I can't wait to weigh in tomorrow.
I use Sparkpeople.com to count calories and as mentioned in my first blog that's where I read a post that inspired me to start this blog. I need to use that more often. It's amazing the power of finding relate-able people can have on you. I think that's a lot of what hurts me. Don't get me wrong, I do love living on the farm with the hubbers and our dogs. But living an hour away from my job, the city, it's hard to find and keep friends. I MISS my friends. I have some really great ones. The trouble is they are thousands of miles away in upstate New York where I grew up. And all the communicating we can do just isn't the same as being able to hang out with one another. BUT if I'm going to change my life in a positive way, I need to be thinking positively as well, which means being happy to have these amazing people in my life, regardless of geopraphy. These wonderful people whom I rarely see but can stay so close with.
Let me introduce you now to Turbofire. It's comparable to P90X or INSANITY only more dance-y. I find that this is the only way I will stick to a workout. I can't lie to you, I don't enjoy working out. But I do love to dance. So mixing high intensity interval training and cardio with dance makes it bareable and even sometimes, believe it or not, enjoyable! So before I start on another tangent I should end here, and go kick it up with TurboFire. Today is a 20 min core workout with 40 minutes stretching. I'm pretty sure the stretching will be difficult to get through, since it's much like yoga and I would not consider yoga my cup of tea. But here goes nothing!
I've done Turbojam, Hip Hop Abs, Jillian Michael's, Biggest Loser and Celebrity Fit Club bootcamp workouts (along with some others that didn't stick .. Carmen Electra's Striptease workout and Dirty Dancing's dance workout). What's your favorite workout regimen??
