Getting Fit

So, I feel like my gal to the left. Not okay. Let me start by giving you the "normal" for me.

I'm 5'8", was always athletic, and enjoyed working out for many years after high school (graduated in 2003). Then, I lost interest but still was able to maintain my weight of 125. I had always gotten compliments on my body and my legs which was awesome. In high school, I had rock hard abs. It was AWESOME. Flash forward to this past year or so and it's all gone down the drain.

I always prided myself on not ever getting past 130, which is still considered on the lower end of normal according to BMI standards. I went to my OB this week and weighed in at 140. The most I've ever been in my entire life. Most of it is in my thighs and tummy and I think the tummy has A LOT to do with my PCOS. Most women who have it, have an "inner tube" around their waists. I fear I'm getting that now.

So, I started my workout routine this morning at 5am. I'm starting off slow because I haven't REALLY worked out consistently in about 1.5 years. SICK. I picked up Jillian Michael's "30 Day Shred" DVD at Target for $9. It came highly recommended from my fellow blogger friend Kelly. It has AMAZING reviews on Amazon to my surprise so I'm excited. I usually don't do dvd/videos but I'm willing to give this one a shot. After doing it this evening, I can barely stand. YOWCH! Here's my weekly plan:

Mondays - 1 mile on treadmill, followed by Boot Camp Class at gym. PM 30 Day Shred, Level 1
Tuesdays - 30 Day Shred, Level 1. PM Zumba.
Wednesdays - 2 miles on treadmill, PM Yoga & 30 Day Shred, Level 1
Thursdays - 2 miles on treadmill. PM 30 Day Shred, Level 1
Fridays - 1 mile on treadmill, followed by Boot Camp Class at gym. PM 30 Day Shred, Level 1
Saturdays - OFF
Sundays - 30 Day Shred, Level 1

Sounds pretty ambitious right? Let's hope I can stick with it for the next 5 weeks before DH & I take off to Vegas. I'm also doing a 7 day detox so I'll let you know how that goes too :)

Wish me luck!
