Bringing Buff Back

This week I completed 5 day's of working out for 25 minutes a day, and I lost -4 lbs this week! Have you ever just sat there to ponder about workout and making a healthy changes to your life? But you always come up with "I have no time". Let me share with you about my 25 minute program that you can complete in 5 days a week. It is so perfect because its only 25 minutes long. Now, I know with your busy schedule you can find 25 minutes to complete your workout. You could probably do this at lunch. Now, if you completed this at work you would probably have to go back to work all sweaty. LOL not the ideal way to return to work. But if you needed too in order to work on yourself...you could. You could probably find a coworker or two to join you.  Let's face it your health is not going to get any better with you dreaming about how you can change and never taking the steps to change.

When really we should not give up on ourselves so easily. I'm not going to lie. I cried in all of my frustrations.  Until I realized I was not properly measuring out my food.
