Making Progress

I'm so excited to say that I've had some progress, but not as much as I'd hope to see this time. I've lost 5lbs and 8 inches all over. It seems like I'm working harder this time but not having the results I'd hoped for. I've been told to look at the inches lost and not so much the weight....soooo with that being said, I'm happy with the 8 inches. I also started back up at the gym. I have to get my cardio in. I've gained some running partners, so next week I will start running with this group at 5am Mon, Wed, Fri. OMG! What am I thinking???? I hope I make it through this....LOL

Time for a change

I started the Slim in 6 DVD's 4 weeks ago. I think I am done. Doing the same thing everyday for 50+ minutes is not for me. I am determined to keep working out though. I am afraid if I continue trying to finish these last two weeks of the Slim in 6 I'll quit and not do anything. This is my plan...

Running/Speed walking at least 3 times a week(building up from 30 -45 mins). On the days I don't I will use the Ramp It up (from the Slim in 6 set) and Walk slim DVD's. That way it is changed up. In addition I will use the Abs and Slim and Limber sections of the Slim in 6 set everyday. This is my goal. I think this would work a ton better then forcing myself to complete thier Burn It Up DVD for 58 minutes a day.

Progress...

Okay so I have made it to my final weeks into the Slim in 6 program. I must say I am dying (or close to it) but since I am almost done I think I can continue on. LOL
(Last day is July 18th)

I checked a couple measurements this morning. Didn't mark them down but wanted to see if there have been ANY changes since my wk 2 measurements. I am happy to say that I have lost an average of 1 inch all over so far. (Some places more then 1 inch) I guess thats progress. Not as much as I'd like but it's something. (Also lost close to 6lbs...)

I also join a weight loss challenge and now I have other depending on me to keep this up.

Once I finish the Slim in 6 DVD's I think I will start running. It might be less tasking on my body. Funny you'd think running would be harder. LOL That or I'll be one of "those' people speed walking (said to be as effective but easier on your knees). Sounds like a plan to me.

Happy Working Out!
