9 Workout DVDs


The 9 workout DVDs that I ordered from collage video finally arrived. I tried working out first using the Belly Dance and I was really sweating like a pig in 45 minutes. I didn't even feel that I was workout out because I was having so much fun dancing and learning Belly Dancing.

Then I went out and run for 15 minutes.... Words, looks and gestures inspired me more to workout really hard... I really wanted to lose more weight but I really cannot control my love for eating. But I am happy that I was able to maintain my weight since I lost about 20 lbs.

The difference between me and this one person is that, I eat but I workout because I am not lazy.... !!!

Run For Weight Loss


I run for 15 mins after my 30 mins. weight step aero workout. Then I did my 10 mins abs workout. I did a lot of stretching because I noticed that my knees is getting better since I have been doing longer stretching every after workout.

I glad that I have been following all the workout scheduled routine I did, however, I feel guilty that I have been eating a lot. Although my weight is still the same, my guilt is for my goal to lose more weight for summer.

It's very hard to lose more weight after losing about 20 lbs. I know I can only do it if I will eat less. But it's hard because my work require a lot of physical activities.

Well I hope the weather will always be this way, so I can start increasing the lenght of my run.
