Part 1 (exercise)
This is the final week of my "Buff Brides" 24 week program, and I cannot even believe the results.I had to get measured for two bridesmaids dresses on Saturday, and had the pleasure of standing uncomfortably in my skivvies, with my pasty winter skin glowing under the florescent lighting, as a tiny little seamstress wrapped a tape measure around my "bust", "waist" & "hips", always a joy. Boy was I surprised! Not only has the weight melted off, but I have lost lots of inches as well! Lifting weights has transformed my figure, and the book outlines everything so clearly that it has been quick and easy. For anyone, at any fitness level this book will totally rock your world! I am just pretty panicked because I don't know what to start after I finish the last workout!
Part 2 (diet)
Ok, so I haven't exactly been eating as well as I have been exercising. I love sugar, I just love it, candy, cupcakes, sweets of any kind-it may very well be an addiction:( Hubs is an avid "Crossfitter" and part of the lifestyle they promote involves a "Paleo Diet"-aka "The Caveman Diet". His gym started a 38 day "paleo challenge" to help improve performance (weight lighting abilities) and overall health-supposedly there are lots of benefits to it. Well somehow, I had a moment of weakness and told him I WOULD DO IT WITH HIM!!! We took "before" pictures, and he showed me the list of what we could eat , I am still looking for the flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, and confectioners sugar, but I cant seem to find it anywhere on the list.
Today is day #2 and so far I have only tried to gouge my eyes out once. I will be cheating on Saturday for my birthday, I will drink wine and eat cake, but I am going to try to make that the only day I do so for the next 38. Wish me luck!
I hope I don't end up looking like this guy.....( I would love his french fries though)
Hope Everyone is having a great Monday:)

I've been wondering about the Buff Brides- I may have to try it now! Good luck and great job on you success already! :)
It's been along time since I could call myself a "bride", but I am always looking for ways to feel better and have more energy!!! I just tried a free video workout from Tracy Anderson...you get it when you sign up on her website...It was short and sweet, but I could definitely feel the burn...
This is what I needed to read today. I am trying to get ready for bathing suit season and yet I just had my second bowl of cereal. The gouging your eyes out made me laugh because I feel the same way!
That looks like one cook workout! I need it...cause I am like you, love me some sugar! Hope your having a great day! xoxo
Just the motivation I needed! I ought to be working out being that we're getting married this summer, but never seem to find the time. Will have to look into Buff Brides!!! XO Katie
I need to bust out my wedding pics to get motivated to work out again like I did for my special day!
Thats awesome! I have to fit in a bridesmaid dress in June... I have been adopting the "eat more salads" diet and work out like 1X a week... then I eat whatever I want on the weekends... surprisingly (sarcasm) its not working, I need to step it up!
That is SO awesome :)
Good for you! That is so wonderful to see such great results. Keep it up girl!
Crossfit highly promotes the Paleo diet .... let me know what you think!!
