Oh boy, another try at sticking to an exercise routine. There are so many of them out there... it's almost 2am, have to be up at 5:20am, and still not "that" tired. But, I am excited to start this chapter of my life again because I'm at the time in my life where I'm SO ready to commit again. A few years ago, I did a year-long clinical trial of a weight-loss drug and lost 70 pounds. I'm now going for the other 30. I know it's in me - have a small bone structure, my mom got married in a size 0 dress, and the men on dad's side of the family are so tall and slender.
This website looks great, though. I am not a novice in the gym, but my lack of consistency keeps me feeling like one. These workouts look so great and will fit my current routine perfectly. I'm excited, but scared at the same time.
Why am I doing this? I'm a singer. I'm an actress. I teach skin care with Mary Kay. So many opportunities passed me by when I was in my early 20s with these things, and I KNOW it's because I didn't "look the part." I'm your typical "I only care about how I look" person - not too concerned about what I eat, as long as I'm eating fewer calories than I burn, I'm fine. I don't like to deprive myself of all the tasty foods out there, but right now I'm regaining an addiction to water and smoothies, super-charged with creatine powder and whey protein powder. Perfect for someone like me, looking to get trim and toned in a SHORT period of time.
My biggest concern in all of this is sticking with the program and committing to it every day. In the past I've done a few weeks here, a few weeks there, but my attention quickly fades and I move on to the next thing... before I know it, I'm on the couch every night and back to having nothing but white and brown things on my plate! NOT THIS TIME!
