A tale of 8 exercise dvds.

My journey has not been as smooth as i would have liked. In the past week i havent been able to do much exercise as i was unwell. I am not proud of my eating habits either but i am trying to add healthier options to my diet everyday.

Anyway back to my title. I have in the course of one year amassed a total of 8 exercise dvds. They are;
1. Turbo jam
2. Suzanne Cox dance aerobics total body toning
3. Denise Austin boot camp
4. Billy blanks tae bo circuit 1
5. "get ripped
6. Pump it up
7. Billy blanks abs boot camp
8. Pilates dvd
9. Yoga dvd.
Ha! I just realized they are 9. With all these dvds you would expect me to be a very fit person wouldnt you? Trouble is, the dvds dont work themselves and my ass has been too lazy to make use of them.

One day i took out the whole collection and put them in my vcr cuz i realized i didnt even know wat is in half of them. Anyway, i made a promise to go thru all of them in the order listed above. I was to dedicate 3days to each. Well im proud to announce that im on dvd no 2. Im not working out everyday like i wanted to but at least im progressing. I did day one of dvd two yesterday. Today i was too tired to wake up early so day two will probably be tomorrow. Dont worry, i didnt skimp on exercise today. I went for 80mins walk and one hour salsa class. I more than compensated for not working out with suzanne cox & co.

One step forward two steps back

Monday was a very good day for me. I managed a deficit of 500plus. I also had sufficient intake of water and 2hours of cardio including my salsa class. Now yesterday was just something else. My breakfast and lunch were perfect, even went for a 80mins walk before lunch. However things went downhill from there. I got a craving for biscuits, which i indulged plus juice. Then i had some crisps, then tea, bread and some more tea and 2 mandazi. All this made me unable to stomach any supper. Im even afraid to calculate the calories. The positive side of it was the exercise so all wasnt lost. I just have to try harder today.

A million first days

Today is my milionth first day. Ive always been saying that tomorrow i will begin my diet & exercise plan and that tomorrow never arrived till today. My problem for the last 6 years is that i manage to lose some bit of weight but always manage to gain it back. My plan this time is to develop healthy eating habits and incorporate exercise into my lifestyle and see what happens. I feel great about this. Its gonna work.
