New Workout DVD

I bought the second Carmen Electra DVD. This one contains a series of more challenging toning workouts for toning bums and tums, upper and lower body, abs and back etc. They're not the hardest toning workouts I've ever done, but that's a good thing because right now I'm so out of shape I couldn't manage a really tough workout. They're just right for me because they're a bit harder than I can do right now, but not so hard I give up in disgust. I did it yesterday and today I'm sore, so I'll rest a day or so before I try again.

Diet Delish is going well. The food is great and I'm sticking to it really strictly. I don't know if I've lost any weight since Wednesday but I'm sure I haven't gained any.

Cabbage Soup Diet Final Day

This is my final day of the Cabbage Soup Diet. Today as well as soup I can eat vegetables and brown rice. Tomorrow I'll weigh myself and see whether it was worth it.

I decided that after a 7-day crash diet like Cabbage Soup Diet, I need to switch to a less strict regime, but still calorie-controlled. So I found a diet on iVillage called Diet Delish. I've made a shopping list and I'll get everything in I need so I can start the diet tomorrow.

The Carmen Electra Striptease Workout DVD was fun. I'm very unfit, so I couldn't have managed a really intense aerobic workout, but it raised my heart rate and certainly got some muscles working (read: aching) so it's about right for my level of fitness. And it was more enjoyable than a plain old aerobics DVD because it felt more like dance moves than aerobics (and sexy dance moves, too). I like it and I plan to do it three times a week, maybe more.

Exercise DVDs

I bought the Carmen Electra Aerobic Striptease DVD. I thought it would be fun to do an exercise video a few times a week. I picked this one because I want to feel sexy, and maybe this will help. I bought some sexy new exercise clothes as well to help my motivation.

Today I ate more steaks and vegetables. I even had my lunch at the mall, and ordered my steak with no sauce and no potatoes, just a side salad. It was delicious, and it didn't feel like being on a diet at all.
