10 minute trainer....take 1.

So, tomorrow I am starting a 4 week body makeover (hahaha) program called 10 minute trainer. It is by the guy who created P90X. The main idea is he super stacks the exercises to work multiple areas of the body at one time. There are five 10 minute workouts. It came with a calendar. The point is to do 3 of them on most days (some only have 1 or 2) but at least do the first one listed on that day. Coupled with a "diet" of watching portions and fat/carb intake and AMAZING results are supposed to happen....hahaha. I am not thinking my body is going to drastically change between now and this time next month but I am hoping to see some improvements. I would like to lose 10-15 pounds in this month. That might seem high but I have gained a lot back that I lost earlier this year and I really think by being disciplined in my eating and workout habits the first bit should fall off pretty easy (for lack of a better word...being disciplined in my eating is not my strongest area!!). My goal is to do whatever he has listed on the calendar whether 1,2, or 3 workouts. However, I know I am not perfect so success for me would be do go the whole 4 weeks with doing at least the first one listed like he says to do. I am kind of nervous. 10 minutes for an entire workout seems like no time at all which means it is probably gonna be hard....he created P90X which I have been told is really hard so I am expecting to be sore. Hopefully I can hold out to day 3 when only a Yoga stretch workout is called for. :) The program also came with a resistance band, a cardio belt, and cards you can take with you to do a workout when you don't have a DVD player. I have no excuses! Time cannot be an excuse! 10 minutes!! I have to find that sometime in my day. I am waking up early to do my devotion each day so my alarm will be set a bit earlier to make sure I get my workout in before the children wake up (which Ella has been sleeping in lately which I love!!). I am going to have Mark take before and after pictures (don't worry...those will NOT be published) as well as measurements in the morning. I am really excited. I feel like this is going to work....I want and need it to work, even if it is just getting me on the right track to something more later. I am really pumped about my sister trip to Branson and want to not hate myself next to my incredibly skinnier sister! :) I love her....but she got the good genes! :) I used to have the height but I am shrinking so I don't even have that now! hahaha! Oh well, God made me and in His eyes I am just how I am supposed to be! I will update on my progress! Keep me accountable if you think about it!
