Hello ladies!
I am looking to lose a little bit of weight (a couple of kilograms maybe), but mainly to tone up. I used to be very slim - probably too thin actually - and extremely fit. I ran half marathons! I would run 8 miles on a weeknight in the rain! Unfortunately I would also get ill at a drop of a hat - probably because my immune system was a bit screwed.
I stopped all that when I moved countries, but was still pretty active. Like I would go running for 40-60 minutes a few times a week and do Insanity at home. Then I moved again and stopped doing any exercise at all, and noticed the weight creeping on, and my body basically collapse into wobbly jelly over the period of a number of months!
Since I am getting married next year, and will want to try for our first child shortly beforehand/after, I decided to get back into shape now!
Sorry for the long intro....
So at the beginning of May I started doing the thirty day shred and have been doing youtube workout videos between 3-5 times a week since then. I'm already noticing a difference in how my body looks, which I'm really pleased with.
Our scales broke a while ago and I haven't been bothered to change the batteries, but I think muscle I have gained will cancel out any fat loss anyway. I used to have an eating disorder, so I won't count calories or cut out food groups, but I think my approach to food is pretty healthy (nowadays)
Anyway sorry for the ramble. That's me. I did 30 day shred level 2 last night, so today am trying to decide between No More Trouble Zones, and Tae Bo Billy's Bootcamp cardio inferno.
