It’s Just Gen

I’m starting barry’s bootcamp today. I watched the videos last night when I got them in to get an idea of what I’m getting myself into. His workouts look amazing, they use resistance bands (and optional ones on your ankles that feel great) and a kind of bench press exercise ball. It looks like a really huge pill.

The videos have three levels of workouts to them, one person doing something for “beginners” which is what I’ll be doing, if I can even do that, a normal level and an advanced level where the person makes it a little bit harder (in some of the videos that person looked like they were doing a ton of extra work but it looked so worth it).

I know I’ll be sore but oh well I need to get myself in shape, I’m really fat right now. How fat? Let’s talk about 350 give or take 5 lbs. I can do workout’s like this I just have t, as barry says, “Commit to my body 1 minute at a time.” I like this, 1 minute at a time, I can do that. He also helps you with meal choices even if those choices have to be fast food, barry helps you take your busy lifestyle and make it work. I won’t be doing the fast food thing but I will be looking deep into my cupboards and saying, I have all this healthy food right here, I need to figure out when to eat it and just to do it. And make my husband do it too, his soda having days need to be over because all those diet deathtraps do is lure me into drinking them more and more. Diet drinks truly are the devil.

Here’s the difference I see between diet drinks and regular sodas. One makes you get caffeine in your body and makes you feel full but has sugar. the other makes you drink more and more still has caffeine, a dieuretic, and doesn’t make you feel full at all. Guess which one makes you eat tons of food? You got it, the diet soda. You’re not actually doing anything good for your body by going diet! Just go to water, it’s healthy, helps cleanse your system, and makes you feel great. Stick to fruits and veggies for snacks, there’s tons out there that taste great and they’re cheap!

So wish me luck, I’m going to be sore and confused about meal choices but I’ll get through it. Barry actually has a forum that he talks to his clients/customers on and I find that rare. He actually talks directly to us and gives us the individual attention that we need and we can even ask the bolder questions since the nervousness about being face to face isn’t there.

I’ll probably post after my first workout, heh. Should be interesting.
