Revolt Now Fitness - free kickstart

So before I post the horrid bikini pic I thought I'd post a nice clothed pic because I actually think I look pretty good with clothes on!

 

 

So, my goal weight is 150 pounds.  I based that on the fact that I am a medium build female standing 5'8.  I once found a chart online that gave me that number as the max weight for me.... I can't find it now.  As of this morning I have 31 pounds to go!  Yes, that's correct I broke my 185 stall yesterday morning at 183 and this morning I weighed in at 181!!!  I feel pretty good about the fact that I've already shed 59 pounds total!  But 31 is still a pretty big number. 

 

My sister in law from http://meandmyhandful.blogspot.com recently started reviewing a fitness program from www.revoltnowfitness.com and I really loved the concepts.  I decided to start with the week free kickstart on Monday.  She offers meal plans and recipes where you prepare all your food on Sunday to eat all week.  This makes the meals and snacks more convenient to choose than anything else.  You are also supposed to drink a gallon (or 4 litres) of water every day.  The workouts videos are streamed online and consist of various exercises done in a circuit that can be easily done in my bedroom!  All I had to buy was ingredients for my food and a yoga mat (my floor was too hard).  I'm on day 3 and I've lost 4 pounds already.

 

So far I'm really enjoying it.  Today is my active rest/stretch day.  I'm thinking I'll go for a walk with the kids this afternoon as she recommends doing some sort of light activity today.  I'm finding the exercises VERY challenging but not impossible.  She demonstrates a level 1,2 and 3 version of each exercise.  On some I'm struggling to do the level 1 but on others I feel comfortable doing the level 2.  I'm planning on signing up for the full program for next week because I'm already finding it very effective.

 

So without further adieu here it is... ugh... the BEFORE picture.  As you can see, I've got a lot of work ahead of me.... maybe one day I'll actually look good in this bikini, although I highly doubt I'd ever wear it out in public!
