I just received the 30 Day Shred DVD that I ordered thanks to the tip from Kristin. I've only done it for one day so far, but all I can say is WOW! I totally got my butt kicked. The DVD is a series of 20 minute workouts of 3 levels. I of course started at Level 1 thinking it wouldn't be too bad, but boy was I wrong!!! All of my 110 pounds was totally put to the test, and now I'm crazy sore. I'm sore in places I didn't even know could be sore! This is pretty much how I'm feeling right now:

Well, at least I know that it's working. I just hope I can keep this up! Fit body, here I come!!!

So no matter how much I tell myself I will workout everyday, it never works! I'm either too lazy or too tired to get off my butt to workout.

I have tried all sorts of things unsuccessfully:

• I bought a gym membership which didn't work because I never went
• I bought a cute workout outfit to motivate me, but the tags are still on them
• I bought the Wii Fit which I only used 2 or 3 times and is now collecting dust
• I bought a couple Pilates videos to do at home, but those too are collecting dust
• I joined a running club that meets once a week, but I only went a few times and stopped
• I've tried to do lunges, squats, and crunches at home but that lasted a week, and I stopped
  

I will always start a new workout regimen and only do it for a little bit and then stop. It's become a vicious pattern.
I'm by no means overweight at all (I'm petite and slim), but I don't feel healthy because walking up flights of stairs leaves me out of breathe (sad, I know!). I really need to get back into shape. I feel weak now and want to tone up my body. I used to work out all the time in high school. I was even on the track and cross country team, but now I've become such a lazy sac. Granted high school was years ago, but I still should be taking better care of my body and health.

I wish I could have a body like these hotties:


But then I would need to workout like crazy and maybe get a boob job, haha. To all of you supermodels, way to make the rest of us ladies look bad!! =P I also wanted to get a personal trainer, but that costs more money. And why are gym memberships so expensive these days???

I really need to get my act together and start working out this summer when I have more time. Sigh, too bad it's easier said than done!
