Daily Burn....is it worth it?

Yes it is...I did a 25 min workout and my legs are jello. I know we all see the commercials for the weight loss on line programs. There are at least 6 I can think of off the top of my head. Some free some you have to pay for. I have used spark people and stopped because I found all I was doing was sitting on comp trying to keep up with all the emails and groups and this and that. I currently am using Myfitnesspal again to track food and exercise and it is working...well for last 5 days anyway. I looked into weight watchers, biggest loser, and Jillian's....yup they all wanted an arm and a leg. Then I seen the commercials for daily burn. I started thinking yeah just another expensive program that is not at all what they say. Then I pulled it up and I was impressed. They are only 10 a month, the workout it catered to your workout level. I am on the beginner since I have not worked out in months. They have daily workout videos and they schedule it for you. You just pull up app, click on video and start. I did a 25 min beginner workout and burned 543 calories. I am excited for tomorrow and what the work out will be. Plus I don't have to track it as being done on the website...it does it for me. I can work out anywhere that my tablet has internet connection so it is perfect for travel and in 28 days I will be ready for a new program. Now I am still planning on getting back into my beachbody stuff....but I need to rebuild strength and stamina. So if you have an extra 10 a month....this is def something to look into.

Until next time...happy dieting

Starting over and all that jazz

Okay so here we are again...I am starting completely over from square one plus some. I could say it was not my fault...but then whose was it? I mean I moved, I had to finish school, I had friends come into town, and then it was this and that. Oh yeah I also have fibromyalgia...I hurt, I didn't feel good, I just couldn't move. But there is a theme here...all of the above are excuses. Lots of them. Me starting over is all my fault because I let the excuses win. I let my disease control me instead of me controlling it. Well today is the last day of the excuses winning...well it was a few days ago but just finally getting a chance to sit down and type this up.

Sunday I did my weight and my measurements...I am putting them here so that I have an accountability tool. (Love the flexibility of this blog and what it can do for me.)
Weight: 299.4
Waist: 47 inches
Hips: 55
Jean size: 24

Now in a month I will update the measurements and the weight weekly. If I am putting it out there then I am hopefully more apt to follow through with this and for the first time since I was in a tween I will be in onederland by end of year. And yes you heard that right...since I was 10. See this is not just a thing that popped up for me...this has been a life long struggle. I am also gonna try and get back to the purpose of why I started this blog...to help people who can't diet traditionally...who have the eating disorders, who have the sicknesses that can flare up and keep them from losing, who just can't live without a candy bar. I am going back to helpful hints and tricks...what has worked...what I am trying...and most of all hopefully helping someone who like me has struggled with this for years.

I also want to take a minute and thank everyone who has been reading and supporting me for the last year plus. I started a facebook page for this blog as well...Mad Dieter. There you will find motivational pictures and quick tips for when I can't get to do a full blog.

Until next time...Happy Dieting
