5 Day Inferno -- Day 1

Sooo..today was day 1 of the 5 day Inferno. As I said before, I did decide to go ahead and start it. I should be done on Friday. I leave for Florida Friday night...I am hoping to get some time to take some after pictures..I'll try to get my sister to take them. Unfortunately, I may not be able to get them up first thing Saturday morning because I'm going on a cruise (woohoo! hehe). My goal is to be good on the cruise.

I didn't follow the eating plan given for today because I didn't realize until I was already at work that I wanted to do it. But I did the 55 EZ workout and Stretch 10!

I loveee Turbo Fire..I'm a bit uncoordinated, so I have some problems there..but I guess that's to be expected in the beginning. My "new to class" feature isn't working on my DVDs for whatever reason, but I'm sure I would definitely benefit from doing that as well.

Tomorrow is Fire 45 EZ, HIIT 20, and Stretch 10...roughly an hour and a half of working out...I want to get it done before work, but I'd have to get up super early. Hmmm...what to do...haha.

Stay tuned...!!!

Turbo Fire Day One

I started Turbo Fire today! I decided to start it early. Lately I have been saying "I'll do this on this date" like I used to do and not following through. SO..the time is NOW. haha. I am going to take my measurements and before pictures when I wake up tomorrow morning. Yesterday I did HIIT 15 just to see what it was about.

Now that I'm thinking about it..I'm probably just going to restart the program tomorrow. I didn't have a remote for my DVD player so I couldn't do stretch 10. What is it going to hurt? I didn't follow the eating plan either. Plus, since I didn't have a remote, I couldn't watch the "new to class" feature and learn the moves..which is important because I am SO uncoordinated. haha.

I decided against doing the 5 Day Inferno right off the bat..I think that I'm going to wait until I get back from my cruise. Instead of waiting for after my cruise to start to program, I am just going to take a break in the middle of the program and follow that for 5 days.

So my whole program (including rest days and the Inferno) will last 145 days.

I burned 384 calories in her FIRE 30 EZ workout (I'm 144 pounds right now and in pretty good shape/have been working out pretty intensely since I've started on Sparks).

Tomorrow, my friends!

Turbo Fire Plans!

Hey you guys! I got Turbo Fire in the mail yesterday! Woot, woot! I have been sort of hitting a fitness plateau and needed something to mix things up a bit. Although I was anticipating getting started on the 5 Day Inferno within the next couple of days, I decided since there are so many DVDs I would take some time to practice some of them before I jumped right in...soooo...I decided to start this Sunday. In the meantime, I am going to try to get to know the program a little bit better and try to recruit some other people to do the program with me.

Here's what I'm thinking as far as what I'm going to do over the next few months...

Sunday, November 14-Thursday, November 18 -- 5 Day Inferno
Friday, November 19-Saturday, November 27 -- OFF (I am going on a cruise, so I may do some working out but wouldn't want to jump into the program)
Sunday, November 28-Saturday, December 4 -- Turbo Fire Advanced Rotation (20 weeks) begins

Now..this is highly unlikely..but if I were to not miss any weeks after that and continue on with the program on the 28 of November..I'd finish up on Sunday, April 17. Upon finishing, I'll already be at my goal weight most likely (unless I'm terrible with food..haha). Then I'm going to go into the TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid..which is another 20 weeks. MAN, I'm going to have to find an awesome workout partner to motivate me and keep me going..well, probably more like 10. haha. So I'll always have someone to work out with.

I'll post my before pictures and measurements Saturday morning..I'm hoping to lose at least 2 pounds during the 5 Day Inferno period. Unfortunately, I'm going on a cruise so I probably won't be eating that healthy! haha. Maybe this will motivate me TO eat healthy. Who knows, maybe I'll take the workouts with me and start EARLY! hahaha..you never know.

My plan is to use this blog to keep me going. That's why I separated it from my normal SparkPeople blog. I want to write almost every day about my workouts in the beginning..especially during the 5 Day Inferno time period. Let me know if you have a blog as well! If you didn't find me on SparkPeople..find me there (SparkGirl32).

Let's do this!!!
