Ugh

Unfortunately, I didn't stick with the calorie tracking for very long.  I weighed in this morning at 210.2 pounds.  However, I started Brazil Butt Lift this morning.  The Cardio Axe workout was actually a lot of fun! With the DVDs came a 6 day supermodel slim down plan.  I'm doing it.  I started today.  I'll be following their meal plan exactly and getting approximately 1000 calories per day.  I do their prescribed workouts each day too.  After I've finished the Insanity workout for the day.  It is a lot, but I'm hoping that an results I see at the end of the week will be motivation to continue on.  I really, really want to lose this extra weight and get down to a good, healthy, attractive (at least to me) weight.  There were notes in the meal plan that said you shouldn't do this for more than 6 days at a time and that you might feel irritable and have headaches.  I already have a headache and I'm not even done with day 1.  Yuck.  But, by eating their meal plan, I'm eating foods I wouldn't normally choose.  I've found that I actually like grapefruit (with zero calorie sweetener) and string cheese.  Hopefully, I can get some more sleep and have another good workout tomorrow!

Progress

Sunday's weigh in was bad.  I was at 211 pounds again.  But, I've worked out everyday for the last 11 days.  I also ordered the Brazilian Butt Lift workout dvds from Beachbody and I plan to do those along with Insanity.  I weighted myself this morning, after the workout, and it read 207 pounds.  I am pretty excited.  Also, two days ago I started tracking my calories again.  I used to do this and it works really well when you account for everything.  I'm also using the Bodybugg again and it all goes together on myapex.com.  I know that I've posted my measurements here before, at least hips, waist, and chest.  I've also posted my goals.  I stand by those.  But, yesterday I happened across information on Alessandra Ambrosio (the Victoria's Secret model).  Throughout the years of paging through VS catalogs, she has been my favorite.  Anyway, the information I found was that her measurements are 34"-25"-34".  That seems amazing to me.  I've since found women that are smaller, but a 25" waist and 34" hips?  That's impossible for someone like me, right?  We'll see.  With my big push for exercise and my renewed calorie counting, I'm going to try.   What do you think?  Impossible or not?
