Daily Burn: Day One


  I don't usually like to talk about getting fit. Mainly because as soon as I "talk" about it, something happens and I stop. Then that awkward conversation comes up about your progress..or lack there of.

So I am blogging about my attempts at getting fit, mainly because I would like to have somewhat of a diary while I attempt what is about to happen.
I am not very athletic...at all. I always got picked last for every single sport in P.E. and to be fair they kind of had a right to not want to pick me. I could never successfully make a basket, or goal or even dodge in dodge ball. I managed to grow up with this mentality that I am just not fit and its ok to be out of shape.
I hate that mentality and now that I am nearly 26 years old its time I make some changes.
So I started a program called Daily Burn. It's an electronic daily workout program that is delivered directly to my computer,ipad, or tv. It is completely customized for my entry level work out skills. In addition to the work out videos it gives you this option to "ignite" which is a 21 day challenge to detox my body of the "evil 6." Now I am all for working out as long as I can still have my mcflurry's and subway sandwiches.
This program is challenging me to basically take my health a step further and see what will happen for 21 days.
So naturally I accepted this challenge, which is why I am blogging about it.
I need accountability and for someone who has never taken her health very seriously, writing about it, is the best outlet. Naturally I picked the ugliest day in May to begin my awesome transformation, but oh well, the beauty of this program is that I can do all this from my house without leaving.
I found out this was a very good idea because I do not look right when I attempt to follow the video's, I look sad and I miss nearly half of the moves.

It's ok though, I am sticking to this and accepting the 21 day challenge. Now some basics

~ The evil 6: Gluten, Soy, Dairy, added sugar, Alcohol,  & Artificial sweeteners, ~


So basically I cannot eat or drink anything with these 6 things.... So basically I cannot eat until I go shopping.

So day one will be somewhat of a wash however for my lunch I did have natural chicken breast with 1 tbs of mayo and 1 tbs of mustard mixed in with a slice of fat free skim american cheese on a single slice of wheat bread.
So I am off to a sort of good start

Some more basics~
My current weight is ..204. Heaviest I have ever been
My goal weight is 170 but not in 21 days
My 21 day goal is 185

Ok lets see what will happen! I am super excited and could use all the encouragement you can offer and I have one request please please please do not tell me this program sucks and blah blah blah and the evil 6 are not really evil and seven reasons why. I need encouragement not to be schooled on health matters because you already win just let me try my newly found exciting thing. Thanks :)
