day 1.

today, sophia is 5 months old. i have been blessed with such an amazing baby. let's hope this continues...

i have started my tracy anderson diet today. it doesn't help that i completely forgot to eat breakfast this morning (packing the baby bag and rushing to daycare to get to work on time was priority), but i did get to pack my lunch and a snack for the rest of the day (salad - no dressing, and tilapia - no seasoning). this no seasoning stuff is going to be the hard part.

here's what the diet and exercise routine consists of:

this trainer is the guru behind the bodies of madonna and gwyneth. the diet and exercise routine promises that you will lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks...which is right around my one year anniversary (one year married, 3 together) with vv. i could care less about eating ham on christmas. i'll have vodka tonics with a side of flavorless chicken breast and brussel sprouts. i'd rather cheat with drinks than food anyhow. as for the exercise routine that goes with the diet, i'm going to go to l.a. fitness today and get a membership. here's a link to their class schedule if anyone is interested:

i'm also down for going to different locations when my schedule permits for whoever wants to pair up. i plan on going to the 7pm - 8pm classes monday through friday, which include spinning, kickbox cardio, step plus abs (i'm still unsure about this one. i may just stick with the tracy anderson post pregnancy workout dvd that i have and do abs with that every morning), hip hop, and yoga. i'm also going to invest into a jumping rope and also run up and down the stairs at my new apartment for the 20 minute ipod cardio sessions that the article talks about.

ps: i got a B on my classes. not too shabby considering i had a newborn and had to teach myself things i could care less about (ie: algebra, microeconomics, etc...)
