OK, if you don't know me let me fill you in. I'm 31 and out of shape. Short and sweet--wait, yes I am short and sweet, but I was referring to the story. I have tried Curves diet, Slim Fast, low carb diets, fat flush, The See-Food diet, you name it. I have done aerobics, gym membership, P90X., 10 minute, Belly dancing, Hawaii something...again you name it. Yes, the diets work, but the weight comes back. The exercises work, but I don't stick with them. P90X is something I would recommend to anyone who can physically handle it. It really works for me. So, why not keep on keeping on? I'm "scared" to restart it. Honestly, its that tough. And I'm lazy. OK, I admit it!
So, I decided to pull out an old video called Callenetics, by Callan Pinckney. She claims to make you look 10 years younger--body wise--in 10 hours. Madonna is even a fan. Not that I think name dropping makes something credible, but Madonna has an awesome body at 49, OK. And like Tony Robbins says, if you want to be like successful people you need to learn from successful people. Anyways. I did these exercises before when I was in my early 20's, along with my fave aerobic video (Adidas Say Goodbye to Cellulite). I was looking hot. I attributed my success to Callanetics, one of my BFF's convinced me it was the aerobics. I had wholeheartedly believed it was the Callenetics. Now, I believe that again.
Another tasting has begun. I have totaled three hours. Woo-hoo! The moves appear easy, but don't be deceived. I'm just as sore as I would be after doing P90X. Now, I want to tell you, after doing P90X other exercise programs didn't satisfy me. I would feel as if I was barely moving in the other programs. P90X is hard core. So, for Callenetics to fulfill my need to feel pain is saying something. The other problem I have is commitment. P90X is a 90 day program. Callenetics claims to give results in just 10 hours. That is in as little as 10 days! Plus I could put it to the taste! I'm so hyped.
In three hours what can I say: I feel stronger. Visual results have not been apparent yet, except better posture. My husband said he could see a difference. He didn't know what exactly, but a difference none the less. I don't trust a man who might be after my sexy body. So I will need to take measurements and pics. Maybe I'll post the info. Anyway, until next time.....

ok, first of all, you misspelled "have" and "deceived" in the 3rd paragraph. secondly, who was this bff of whom you speak (ha)? and third and last: what the hell are you talking about, "need to feel pain"? no freaking wonder you never stick with anything! why would you think you have to be miserable and uncomfortable to get fit? what you should be looking for is something that you enjoy. if you don't enjoy it, you will eventually quit. duh. this is why I dance. and why I am smokin'. *licks fingertip and touches booty while making a sizzling sound* :D
ReplyDeleteI love you. that BFF would be our other friend. And you are smoking. And I love your insight to this dilemma I have about needing pain. You are right, and Tony Robbins would also agree (along with Louise Hay): I need to enjoy something (and have some issues to work out). I feel that I have to punish myself for being out of shape. It's a chore--a demand. Wow, you've opened me up here. Thanks! I have some self-learning to do. AND I have a new post for my other blog. I love you PI!
