So this year, as you know, is all about getting and staying healthy, and today is my first REAL day of effort! I thought I was starting yesterday (for whatever reason, starting on a Monday always feels more legit to me? ;)) but I was still feeling pretty congested, achy, and sick. So instead? Ohhh, I had a piece of pizza and sat around all night. Uugh, that didn't make me feel very "new year's resolution-y"!! SO! Tonight! Tonight is the night!! I'm starting a 30 day fitness/fat loss challenge by BodyRock.tv to help jump start my new healthy year, and I'm super pumped about it! If you get a chance, check this site out. It's a fantastic resource for anyone else out there who would prefer kick starting their workout at home. All of the exercises on the site are burst exercises designed to produce maximum fat burning potential in a short workout. (See what people are saying about burst training here!) I'll report back after I start and let you know my thoughts....
..........................
As promised, here are the results for my first workout for the 30 Day Fat Loss Challenge :
(Note: I modified just a couple of the exercises slightly due to doctor's orders...no push ups or crunches for me just yet! ;))
Jump Squats – 25
Side Arm Fly - 17
Burpees - 10
Knee Highs - 45
Switch Lunges - 27
Tuck Jumps - 20
Inverse Row - 20 each arm
I must say, at first I was a little disappointed in my results. I have never, in my life, been this out of shape, so it is easy to get upset and disgusted and discouraged with how far I have allowed myself to fall....but then I snapped back to reality. I am doing it NOW! I am fully committed to getting healthy, strong, and fit NOW! And I have nothing to be disappointed in! I was hoping to be able to finish more reps than I did, but I am confident and excited to see just how far I can bring myself over the next 30 days!!! It should be fun and encouraging, don't you think?! =)
It's late, I'm exhausted, and I have GOT to get to bed! Next step for me is improving my time-management skills...or lack there of.
Night lovelies!

p.s. Hooray for the first post of 2011!!! ;)
