One year and still kicking ass!

So approximately one year ago I decided I was done wasting time wishing I was more active and one year later here I am and more active than ever!

Starting weight 182.4
Today's weight 162.6

A total weight loss of nearly 20 lbs.

These days my portions are smaller and so is my waist. For the first time in my life I can jog without an asthma attack and I finally understand why people enjoy running.

So now I box, jog, and watch my sugar intake and all together I am 15 1/4 in. down.

It is time to compare!










Lost 4 in. off of my chest.















5 in. off my lower waist.















And 2 in. from my butt.



I have a lot of upcoming changes in life and can't wait to share them with you!

Month 2 week 2

This week I am down to 171.8 which means my total weight loss is 10.6 lbs. Everyday my workout videos become just a little bit easier. I went from being tired after one cardio bellydancing session 50 mins. to feeling like I have just begun and easily able to go another hour of working out. Here are this week's photos they might not look a lot different but my clothes are becoming more and more comfortable and I am less aware of my stomach now. No more hiding behind pillows when I sit or wearing sweatshirts when it is warm.





Now if anyone is interested in the workout videos I have been doing here they are. . .

Skinny Bitch Booty Bounce

My thoughts on this workout . . . hmmm I do this one when I am sore already or are just looking to get rid of some extra energy. The Skinny Bitches are quite chatty and if you are anything like me you feel incredibly awkward while trying to follow embarrassing dance routines. It does offer some variety to my workouts but I wouldn't suggest buying it unless you enjoy light weight cardio and goofy dancing.

Skinny Bitch Body


Well, this is the only Skinny Bitch DVD that I can say does make me feel accomplished. One nice thing about this video is it requires no weights which can be nice if you don't like lugging around weights.I have mixed feelings on their constant chatting in the videos sometimes I think they are making it up as they go. This is a good one but not the most intense.

Skinny Bitch Boot Camp


I do enjoy this one again the skinny bitches are a little more fun than your traditional work out video. They tend to be more cardio based less resistance training. They are good but not a sole source of exercise.

Cardio Bellydancing with Dolphina

I love this workout, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. I am a sucker for bellydancing it makes me feel relaxed and over time more toned. Cardio Bellydancing is not that intense so I do it in between harder workouts on days when I feel sore already. Basically it is my lazy day workout. Oh and be forwarned Dolphina is very hard to take seriously. It is almost like she is flirting with you as you exercise.

Personal Training with Jackie

Jackie Warner to me is the definition of kickass! Look at those abs. Don't let the shiny metallic shorts fool you she is no pansy. The first time I did the 40 min. workout with my very fit friend Liz we were both sweating and ready to quit within 6 minutes. I can't do this one daily for fear my muscles would self distruct. I recommend buying this DVD.

Last Chance Workout

For anyone who has seen Jillian Michaels on TV you know she waists no time kicking your ass. This video is no different. The first workout made me want to die, but I felt so accomplished when I was done. I would suggest this to anyone who likes to get down to business when the exercise.

So overall, I do one of this videos 5-6 days a week, play frisbee, go on walks, or swim and it is an inexpensive way to lose weight.
