On July 3rd I completed Body Revolution, a 90 day intense Jillian Michaels workout program. When I was in high school and college I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor and would have to swim and sometimes I would get into kicks where I would actually try to swim on a regular basis. Other then that I have never worked out on a regular basis. In January of this year I started on Nutrisystem, the first month I was doing great and was super motivated and by February I decided to step it up. I stumbled across a group of woman that had just begun The 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. I searched it online and started doing the workout off of youtube, I was checking in everyday with the women and we were sharing our experiences. As we neared the end we decided the next move would be to do the Body Revolution. The family and I went away to Florida in the middle of April, a couple weeks after starting BR, so I didn't get to workout everyday as I had wanted but as soon as I got back I busted my butt to get caught back up with the ladies. I struggled with getting back on Nutrisystem 100% when I returned but I stuck with the workouts. I still haven't been the greatest with Nutrisystem but with the support and the accountability those ladies give me I get my workouts done. When I started Nutrisystem in January I weighed 252 pounds, as I am approaching my 6 month anniversary with Nutrisystem I have lost 39 pounds, I wish it was more but I am the only one to blame for that. Next weekend we are having a big family party (I'll explain in another post) and I plan that as soon as that is over I will go back on plan with the same motivation as I had in January. My plan is that next year this time I will be at my goal weight of 135.
