Day 1! I did it!

It was great! I watched the video and went through the motions without weights for the last few days and today I started my first day of Joyce Vedral's workout - Day 1. I feel a tad bit sore but that's ok because I am feeling like my old self again. And I know tomorrow will be a good workout because of the good feelings and surprising agility I had during the first day of her dvd. I used 2,3, and 5 lb. weights which wasn't difficult at all. I did however feel a burn in the upper body workout in the back of my arms and it made me feel as though I was doing it right. All in all a great start and I look forward to tomorrows 2nd day. Bye for now and have a great evening! Annie:)

One footnote regarding my day 1 workout. By now those of you who have read my profile would know I have a back injury. I left out the scissor floor work and substituted that excercise with the hmm I think its called the butt lift but so tired can't remember. Anyway the point is, when you can't do one exercise Joyce advised me to exchange it for another in the same workout set.
I also had my hubby bring down two twin mattresses we have and I did my floor work on them..what a back saver glad I thought of it.
Ok see ya'll tomorrow! Good night all!

Here are some ways I get in the mood to workout.

Tip 1#:

I always clean my workout area, i.e. sweep (Floor is wood) lol!

Tip 2#:

I always turn on Joyce's DVD while I'm preparing my workout space. Hearing her excitement to get in shape helps me to get excited as well.

Tip 3#:

I always make sure I have my favorite workout clothes on...seems weird but for me the smallest detail can change my mood....I'm moody huh!

Tip 4#:

Because of lack of oxygen running through my body and muscles I usually feel tired. So in order to get my energy back sometimes I will walk around the house 2 or 3 times and breath in and out.

Tip 5#:

Water for me is very important; so I always make sure I have my filtered water near me in a sports bottle so that I can have a quick grab of water during my sets with Joyce.

Tip 6#:

Our senses such as sight, hearing, and touch can spur us to do things we normally wouldn't do to change ourselves for the better. So pay attention to your surroundings in your workout area and always make sure it's the way you want even when you are not working. Sometimes I get aggravated if while doing work on the bench if I my vision is stifled because I can't see the form Joyce uses during each exercise. so then I have to re-adjust during the workout which I don't like. I pay attention when I'm not working out and if I noticed my bench as been bumped out of place by a passer by then I readjust it before I start to workout. Can't remember where it is suppose to go? Then put a small piece of tape on the floor to remember.

Tip 7#:

Workouts with Joyce are definitely beneficial every single time I do it. So I DO NOT SCREW UP WITH WHAT I PUT IN MY MOUTH! HUGE TIP HERE! If you workout with Joyce and then go eat anything you want to then all your doing is maintaining the fat body you currently have. You may not get smaller but you'll stay the same and that's NOT what I'm doing this for. I want my old self back so I definitely stick to my life plan...yes it must be a life plan, NOT a diet. If you'd like to know what I eat each day then check out my eating plan.

Joyce's Workout DVD I have so far!

The Cougar Workout! Boy did I get a hard time for that one.

What were you thinking Joyce! LOL!

The Complete Weight Training Series PLUS Workout 101

- This is what I'm starting with - the Workout 101.

The Complete Bottoms Up Plus Upper Body, Abs & Lower Body, & a substitute for excercise you hate + New- Customize your own workout!

AND finally the Complete fat burning workout Series PLUS the Bathing Suit Workout.

Now its time to get started.

1-12-12 latest news:

Today I purchased two of Joyce's diet plans. They are e-books and very easy to read. And affordable. Plus, I purchased one of her package deals where I get 8 DVD's in one order at a very reasonable price. The DVD I order is for getting into shape in a shorter period of time (by swimsuit season). I'm sure it's more intense. Once I have gotten use to the cougar workout then I plan on switching to this particular workout plan.

As of 1-22-12 measurements during my journey.

Bust 47" Now even when I am a 3 I have a large bust . They will go down in size as I loose weight but at some point they will be who they were meant to be...LOL! Reduction Please! LOL

Waist 42" My waist normally is usually 23" . Sometimes smaller.

So you can just imagine how much work I have BUT I have only been doing this for less than a month so it will get smaller.

Hips 51" Yep I'm short 5' 4" so even when I am a 3 to a 5 I have hips...lol

Thighs 26" Usually my thighs are 15"

Calves 17 1/2" this is the first time I have ever measured my calves so not sure what their normal diameters but I know they are smaller.

Note: You'll notice that in one of my post I lost an inch in my thigh. It went from a 26"'s to 25"'s...I gained the inch back because of the Hostess eruption in my house...SOOO self control is very important. And I am back on track and NOT going there again.

My daily eating plan..this is not a diet but a lifelong commitment.

Morning: 8:00 a.m.

1 egg white, 1 pear, an orange or banana or grapes, 1 tortilla, 1 20 oz. water, 1 decaf coffee, 1 tbl. pace picante sauce.

10:00 a.m.

1 water based fruit such as a pear, apple, 1 slice of cantaloupe, orange.

12:00p.m.

3 to 4 cups of vegetables- baked in the oven. ONLY!

1- 20 oz. water, 1- decaf coffee

3:00 p.m.

Another water based fruit. See list above.

5:00 p.m.

2 - 3 cups vegetables baked in the oven. ONLY!

This is my daily menu. Here are some helpful notes for you to know.

*To avoid feeling hungrier during the day eat an extra egg white or add 1 oz. of chicken to your breakfast.

*Also, if you have terrible cravings for sweets eat greens of any kind and it will immediately stop your need for sweets in fact you won't want them.

*Buying fresh veggies can be expensive so to cut cost I buy flash frozen bags of assorted vegetables from the Jolly Green giant Co. or Birdseye. They are just as fresh as the day they are pick because of the flash freezing.

*I try to drink 72 oz. of water a day. This flushes out toxins and fat from the body.

If you seem to have a hard time with it then just get a big gulp and put fresh cold water in it and sip it all day...and NO COLAS!
