So, I started "Boot Camp" on Monday at 5:00 AM. We did a total body work out but did not work with our weights. We sarted by warming up, did some stretching and got our blood flowing. Then we went into working out our legs, by doing different kinds of squats, "mountain climbers" I believe that is what they are called, jumping jacks and a few other excersices. We then did some push ups to work out our arms and a few other excersises with the arms and then we worked abs. Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you that we did some butt excersises too. She said,"We can't get all muscular and have no butt!" (Very true) We worked out so hard and strenuous that I felt naucious, I didn't throw up, but sure felt like I could. So today at "Boot Camp" I got there at 5:01 (for some reason it took me a little longer to get ready this morning), and they were already hard at it getting warmed up! So I got in there and we worked with our weights today and I realized how weak my arms really are. I will say that I was at least working with 5 lb weights, (it wasn't like the 2 lb weights, I'm not that weak, cut me some slack would ya!) but they did seem very heavy there at the end when I was trying with all my might to at least get them above my head. Then we did yet more push ups....Did I mention that I HATE push ups with a passion?! That might revert back to the part where my arms are really weak. And we did tons more squats, different ones than we did on Monday, so we worked some different legs muscles. And then again, we worked abs. This time though, we did a little harder excersises with the abs today. I didn't feel as naucious today as I did on Monday, and hopefully will feel a little less on Friday and so on. Now, as far as the diet pills go, they are called Skinny Mini and I started taking them in December when I got up to 132 lbs. They helped decrease my eating, b/c my problem is I like to eat, and I like to eat A LOT! So by decreasing the amount that I ate each meal, they helped "Shrink" my stomach where it would not hold as much. I stopped taking them at the end of December and then throughout January I continued to lose weight and keep eating small portions. As I neared the end of January, I started eating a little more and gaining a few pounds. So I got some more pills. I took them everday for the first week or two, this time of taking them, I actually am working out as well, so in taking them this time, it seemed that I ate more than I originally did when I first took them. But I believe that it is because when you work out, your body needs to take more food in, but more times per day. I started taking the diet pills every other day and it seemed that on the days I didn't take the pill, I didn't eat very much and on the days that I did take it, I ate more... Don't ask me why, I'm no doctor or nutritionist. But this time, the pills started making me feel funny, I felt like my eyes were crossed sometimes and just out of it, so now I decided to take them once or twice per week. I have not taken one in a week in a half. I weighed myself this morning and I was at 119.4 lbs, so far a total of 14 lbs lost since the first of December. I am really just trying to tone up my body, so I will be gaining in muscle, but losing in fat, so if I don't lose anymore weight that will be fine as long as my stomach gets flat and my muscles are more defined! So Dani, how is that for a blog?!! Love Ya!

Results are in!!

So.....6 lbs loss!!!  I was really surprised that this cleanse was easier than I thought.  Only a couple of times during the 3 days was I starving.  I think I'll do it once a month now.  I feel really good, my energy never got low either. 

Now for my exercise... since I hate running my plan is to take 1-2 gym classes/day 4-5 days a week.  I haven't been able to lately cause I haven't had a vehicle, but I should be getting my moped this Friday, or Monday. 

I'm super motivated right now!  Everyday I get on to www.sparkpeople.com and track my food and fitness!  I also read tons of blogs and motivational pages.  Its encouraging knowing that all these people on here are also going through what I am, and trying to get healthy and in shape. 

I'm hoping my sister, Ericka, will make a post soon(wink wink) and we can track our progress together.  I  know that she is going about losing weight a different way.  She has been working out @ the gym with her mom and also taking weight loss pills.  I forget the name.  She said that she has lost quite a bit of weight since Jan.!  YAY!!  Kudos to Ericka!!  I cant take pills, they make me sick to my stomach. 

With my healthy eating and working out, I should be able to reach my ideal weight 125, by my 30th birthday, in Oct. That's 30 lbs over the next 6 months.  Its going to be tough, but I can do it!!  That's only 5 lbs a month!  WOW!  When I think about it like that it seems way doable:)
