The best part in all of this is that I ACTUALLY enjoy doing it. Well, all except a few of those trying-to-kill-you AbRipper X moves. To get started, I just MUTE Tony and turn up some of my favorite upbeat R&B music.

Right now my workout playlist includes:

Blame It – Jamie Foxx
How Do You Sleep – Jesse McCartney
Love In This Club – Usher
Please Don’t Leave Me – Pink
Different Day – State of Shock

When I first started this program over 2 weeks ago I thought it would be like any other time I started an exercise program. I’d start then quit a few days later. Like this time over here. Quitting has been my “thing” for the past 8 years. So, in essence I haven’t really exercised in 8 years unless you count cleaning the house or playing with the kids. I know, I’m horrible. But being the naturally thin person that I am – I’ve gotten by with it up until now.

Now that I’m not getting any younger, I’m starting to worry about things like diabetes, cholesterol, heart health, and longevity. Plus I want to look great in a bikini. How shallow of me? Don’t we all though? I also want to show my boys (8 & 4) that physical activity/exercise is an important part of our day.

I know, I’m not that “old” at 32 but now is as good a time as any to get healthy don’t you think?

So, I’m sharing this here to keep myself accountable and I plan on sharing regular updates and photos.

*No, I am not getting paid to talk about the 10 minute trainer ( I wish!). Actually, my husband got it for himself.

BTW, we are also going more green – it really is cheaper than you think!
