The Firm

Moving forward, I am stepping it up a notch and going for another big weight loss push. Lately I have been slacking a bit. I think I have been temporarily motivated by all the positive compliments people are giving me and have slacked off as a result. So… it’s back to tightening things up – calorie counting and stepping up the cardio in between gym workouts.

Since the hot Florida summer has officially arrived, I found it necessary to leave B at home as she was quickly overheating on our walks and slowing down our pace. So when I needed to find a high energy indoor activity that I could keep up with through the next few months, I remembered that I had previously bought “The Firm” CDs from an infomercial. So I dusted them off – there are 4 CDs that use weight resistance and steps for an all-over fitness routine. I began with the Complete Workout (cardio plus weights) and then tried the Cardio Only. Both are good. The first time through I had to stop the CD and get water and a towel to wipe off because I was sweating so much! In fact, I felt like I was going to pass out during the Cardio Only routine. What a workout!! My heart rate increased to 160 bpm!

Now I sign off in order to input my food diary calories for the day.
