I am having one of my crazy work out phases. I managed to loose a bit over 10 lbs just before the Vegas trip, only to gain half of it back. :( So anyway I am strolling down the book isle at Target last weekend, simply checking out what Target has in stock. My intentions were not to buy a book, just lookin'. I pass all the teen books, science fiction, annnnd then as I kept walking all of a sudden I see this:
The word "wedding" caught my attention. As you can see the front cover reads "Stop the show at your wedding, reunion" etc. etc. I got my stubby hands on the book and thought "these work out routines and this diet seem reasonable." Hmm I thought about it for a minute and decided to buy it. :) I am not expecting to have a body like hers, that doesn't happen in 30 days. But I am expecting to melt off inches, drop a few and just feel great.
I was reading it over the weekend and getting familiar with the work out routines. One of the suggestions that Jillian (coach of Biggest Looser) gives is taking a "before" and "after" picture. I thought OMG can I really get myself to do that??? Well today was my first day of this 30 day plan. All I have to say is this is no joke. Those work outs are insane and within minutes I was drippin' in sweat. Annnd I also took that "before" picture!!! I was in shock! It is so true that a picture tells a thousand words. Well this screamed a thousand pounds!! I was wearing minimal clothes...(I know TMI) oh well whatever. And umm yeah I couldn't believe my eyes. I am actually glad that I decided to take that picture. It has motivated me even more. I know that I've mentioned that the older I get, the more I feel comfy with my body and I still stand by that. But this boils down to being healthy and feeling good. It's amazing how tired, sluggish and unhappy I feel when I fill my body with junk food. It all taste great, but in the long run it's not good for this 5'1 chick.
I hope you are all not dying to see my "before" picture! LOL. J/K Because that picture is not bloggin' material. I can however show you one that is similiar to my picture. LMAO!!!
I've just decided to take this day by day otherwise I know I will get overwhelmed. I have a date tomorrow morning at 5:30am with that place called "gym".
To be continued!

You are going to do great on your workout routine! I've caught a few episodes of "The Biggest Loser" and that woman can definitely make you sweat. I hope some of your motivation rubs off on me . . .I have a little over a month for the Mud Run and haven't been jogging . . . excuses, excuses!
After all my complaining in Vegas about gaining weight, i am happy to report that i didn't. But i too am still working at my goal of losing weight. I ran into that book last week and was so tempted to buy it! I did however, buy the biggest loser workout a while ago and i do think it has help me achieve some weight loss. Keep up the hard work and you will see results.
Congrats Susie. You did so well! :)It took me a while to get back on track, but I'm on track now. You keep up the great work too. I will be blogging on my progress. ;)
