I must confess I'll be thrilled when this 'Slim in 6' workout series is over. It has been tough working out to the same 'Burn It Up'
DVD for four weeks let me tell ya! I kind of feel bad dissin' the workout because it has given my daughter and I great results.We don't yet look svelte but we both feel slim (if that makes any sense). We were talking about that today - the fact that we feel so much thinner than we look. We take pictures of each other every Friday (front, back, left and right side) and each time we look at the pictures of ourselves and say, "Awww man... I'm still fat!" Then after we look at the pictures a day or so later we start to see the changes that have transpired over the previous week.
I'm excited about the results we've been getting but the workout itself is getting old. We're still getting our butts kicked though - don't get me wrong! I'm just ready for something new.
We've decided to do a different workout every two weeks so we don't get in a rut. Our next two week workout will be Tae Bo (we start next Monday).
That's it for now. I hope y'all are having a great week so far!
By the way, I read three really good blog posts recently that I wanted to share:
- Workout IQ's blog: Weight Loss: Unrealistic Expectations - How To Let Yourself Go #6
- LiveLife365's blog: Make Your Calories Count
- WorkoutMommy's blog: How to Bust out of Fitness Plateaus

I'm like you: no ruts! Changing up an exercise routine helps more than your mental attitude; it also fakes off your body, which naturally wants to adjust to any sort of routine.
Good work!
Hey Ready Maid! Yeah, my daughter and I were talking about this very thing yesterday. I believe our bodies are always striving for balance and it quickly adjusts to whatever it is we're doing (eating or exercise) and tries to keep us there. So we have to shake things up to get our bodies to kick it back in gear.
I totally understand. Change is definitely good, and congrats on sticking to it! You guys are doing great, and I can't wait to see before and after pics! :)
Hi Ruthie! Thanks for reading. I'm definitely looking forward to a change! :)
hooray for change! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Tae Bo, it always made me super sore.
thanks for the link love!

Hi Lisa! Yes, HOORAY for change! :) I've done Tae Bo in the past so I know what to expect... I know I'll be sore.
A friend of mine recently said she liked the Slim in 6 workouts... I may have to give them a try! You may want to try the DVD I'm using right now, the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It's hard... but her workouts are only 20 long - you just never stop during that 20 minutes! I have a review of it on my blog.
Hey Angie! Thanks for reading. My daughter told me about Jillian's new workout series. I'll have to check out your review. I love watching Jillian on The Biggest Loser.
...please where can I buy a unicorn?
