Week 1

I've just completed day four of my Body for Life for Women program and am feeling really good about what I'm accomplishing. There are lots of rules and lots of structure...and I thrive on that. I am very comfortable with the food aspect and am learning about the exercise. Tonight was my first "Lower Body" workout and lemme tell ya, the quads and hamstrings have not seen much action in a loooOoooong while. I've been thinking that my flabby and rippled backs of my thighs were just something that I'd need to live with for the rest of my life. I hope to see a great transformation in this area after the 12 week program! Would it be possible? Could it be possible? I can't wait to see how it goes!

At the end of this journey, I will post my before and after photos. The "before" pics were a rude awakening! When did my ass get so big?

My hair stylist introduced me to this program and if I get the results that I have going on in my mind, I'm gonna kiss her when I see her next! The B4L program has been around for years, but the program that is more geared for women is only a couple of years old. What I thought would be the best part of the program was that the seventh day is an "off day". I thought that I'd be planning out my meals by now for that day, but in actuality, I'm not looking forward to it at all. I will enjoy the day off from intense exercise, but as far as the binge that I thought that I'd be having...not so much. Wine. There will be wine. Or Champagne. Maybe both. Okay, I guess I am a little excited. Sunday will be my day of rest, as well as my day of drinking! There ya go. I will also get my official weight loss for the week when I wake up that day. VERY much looking forward to this!

That's it for now. My legs hurt. My tummy is full. My mind is calm. Success!
