It's a Long Road to Victory Day 1

Well, I have finally decided it is time. I need to kick my butt into shape. I've given it some thought and decided that staying in shape is easy, you work out 3-5 times a week for 45 minutes a day. No problem. The real challenge is getting into shape. It's gonna take a lot more work!! So, I devised a plan with the experteise of my sister.

My goal: lose 20 pounds and tone those muscles.
My goal date: January 31

Here is what I am doing:

Each morning I am waking up and doing a workout DVD from the Firm series. I recently purchased 5 Firm workout DVDs off of amazon.com, that way I have a different one each day. These workouts are great because they combine cardio with weight training.


After I do that I do some windsor Pilates workouts. This morning I did the bun and thighs one and all I have to say is OUCH!! It was a good kind of pain though.



In the evenings I am doing another 30 minute cardio workout such as another DVD, speed walking or running. I am also using the exercise ball to do some more less sweaty exercises.

Oh boy!! that is the plan. I'm trying to tell myself that I CAN do it and that it WILL work and that I will LOVE it. I decided to also make sure I'm drinking plenty of water and cutting back on sugar. I'll keep you updated on how I'm doing once a week. That way I'm motivated because I have to report it. ha ha ha ha. Anywho, That's my plan and yeah for the long road to victory of being in shape!!
