My Morning & My New BF

Good morning Muffins! How is everyone today? I am doing wonderful!!! I got up about 6 this morning ate an English cucumber and some baby carrots for breakfast, watched a little TV, and read a little bit. Then I had a super early lunch...think I needed some protein with breakfast I got hungry about 8:30 so made 2 small portabella mushrooms broiled with some spices and low fat cheese. After which I went walking. Now I've been going to the local walking trail or green way as it's know here, but today I decided to save gas and go walking in the neighborhood behind my house. To get to it I have to walk up a huge steep hill but that's a great thing is it not? It really got my heart pumping before I had even really started really walking. I also added 3lb hand weights to my walking so I can get some work in for my arms this way. I'm really proud of myself I'm doing a little more each day then I did the last and I really hope to see some results in the next couple of weeks. I know I've set a goal for myself of about 6 pounds a month but the more the better! I'm not going to be unrealistic but I am hoping for the best possible results as I can get.

Yesterday I also received my order from Amazon! Yay! What was it you ask? Well it was Jillian Micheals' 30 Day Shred. It's got 3 levels of twenty minute workouts. I did the first one last night and let me tell you....damn. I busted my tush and still couldn't keep up with the beginner workout and I'm sore from it today. She really encourages you not to take more then a 5 second break but there was a few times that I just couldn't do some of the exercise although they seemed super simple at first. I would take a break but I'd keep moving. She does tell you that your endurance will build until you can do the whole workout so I'm going to keep at it. I'll do level one until it it becomes easy then move on to level 2 and so forth to level 3. After that maybe I'll combined them all for one hell of a workout!! I've got two more of her dvds...well one is still on its way but they seem more advanced and I will probably not be doing them for a couple of weeks. One is No More Trouble Zones....which I tried and about died, and the one that hasn't arrived is Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism.

My New Best Friend (even if she can be a bitch)
