So, I went to the doctor last week (first time in over 10 years)... Not "The Doctor" since he is a fictitious character... but a doctor with what turned out to be a sinus infection and when I received the full report in the mail yesterday it said that I was overweight. I knew that I had put on a little fat with the winter we've been having but overweight... yikes! It's true though. I weigh more than I ever have weighed and to be honest with myself I feel quite "flabby" right now. The doctor's report, being flabby with more than just a little "winter fat" has motivated me to: Eat less, eat better, and exercise regularly (even if I have to do it indoors). After all, my body is the temple of the Lord and should be used to glorify Him. It's difficult to do that when I am not taking good care of myself.
Ideally, I'd like to get fit, toned, ripped whatever you want to call it. In the process I hope to loose like 14 lbs. Additionally, I want to do something that I will be able to keep up and make a habit after 30 days is over.
Day 1 - Wednesday, Feb. 12th, 2014
My wife bought this DVD a while back and it’s been collecting dust. "Jullian Michaels Ripped in 30" it has 4 different workouts (one for each week that I would assume get harder each week). I did the workout for week one. It was better than: http://www.zuzkalight.com/ workouts that I did before. I may mix it up and do some of both but... At the end (even with pausing it a few times for a break and water) every part of my body hurts and I was in a feverish cold sweat and about in tears literally! I would highly recommend it! Jullian Michaels that is - she pushed and encouraged me.
Jullian also offers a meal plan (http://www.jillianmichaels.com/fit/ripped-in-30-dvd-meal-plan). Because she says you can eat your way through any workout. I don't want to do that.
