Some might call me crazy for doing this, but two days ago I signed up on Jillian's website. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I'm committed to sticking with it...at least through the end of my free month of membership. My weight loss program is as follows:
1270 calories per day
4 days a week - circuit training
2 days a week - rest
1 day a week - cardio only
Yesterday was my first day. Sticking to the 1270 calories is easy for two reasons. Being allowed to eat foods that I wasn't allowed to eat when I followed The ZONE is wonderful. I now can enjoy reasonable amounts of whole grain bread, pasta, and an occasional potato or carrot! Staying at 1270 calories a day is made easier when you're working your tail off to lose weight as well. Granted it's only been 1 day, I feel like this is a legitimate claim. I want to keep with my low calorie diet because my workouts will pay off faster.
I have done many weight loss programs in my short life, and have consistently failed to exercise in addition to restricting my calorie intake. I would imagine how great it would be if I would double up on diet and exercise. I'm looking forward to achieving the health that I want for my life.
Until now I always wanted to lose weight to be more attractive and feel sexier. Now I want to lose weight and get fit for so many more reasons that my appearance. I want to lose weight and get fit for the following reasons:

I want good health
I want to be strong
I want children
I want to live to see my grandchildren
I want to run
I want hike
I want to sleep well
I want strong bones
I want to garden
I want healthy pregnancies
I want to recover from illness quickly
I WANT TO LIVE
I feel pretty convicted to stick with this lifestyle and am confident that I have a strong support system and a wonderful husband to motivate me when I struggle to keep going. Looking forward to posting my before and after pictures at the end of the year. I'll keep you posted on my progress in the mean time.
