What Have We Gotten Ourselves Into!?

I have to admit, I think we may have gotten a little crazy this time around . . . but didn't someone once say crazy was a good thing? Maybe?

Tomorrow starts Duff and I's journey or experience (I guess we'll make the decision if it was a journey or experience a little later down the road) with Focus T25.

For the past few months Duff and I have been making a push to eating healthier and lose some weight/get fit. So we made the commitment to follow a long-forgotten 'healthy eating' cookbook we had gotten a few Christmas's ago. We committed ourselves to try at least 4 different recipes from the book each week. It was an awesome experience and we tried out a lot of new foods like celery root, leeks, and parsnips just to name a few. (Which are some of our favorites now!)

It's been about 2 months since we have been religiously cooking out of the cookbook and while I've learned a lot of new cooking methods; it hasn't done anything noticeable for me. If anything I've gained weight; although Duff just yelled that he has lost 10 pounds - so at least it is working for one of us.

But I want to see more results. I don't think of myself as fat, but do I consider myself out of shape and lazy? Definitely. I know that I will never have the same body I did back in high school, but I sure as heck want something close to it again!

So this is where Focus T25 comes in. Focus T25 is a high-intensity 60 day, 25 minute workout 5-days a week program. The kit comes with a 5 day fast track meal planning system, nutrition guide, meal planning help, 60 day workout calendar, a resistance band and jump rope. One of the things I really liked about Focus T25 vs it's competitor P90x3 was that it didn't require a lot of extra equipment - just the jump rope and resistance band.

I have to admit I am pretty excited to give this program a try! Especially when Day-1's meal plan includes things like raspberry protein shakes, chicken and spinach salad, turkey, goat cheese and avocado rolls, and grilled fish tacos!

The program starts on a Monday, so we've spent today getting our groceries ready and enjoying/cherishing out last bite of fast-food for a while (Freddy's I'll miss your delicious french fries and fry sauce). That means no more popcorn or cotton candy blizzards for me and no more ice cream sandwiches for Duff. (I think I may have tears in my eyes!)

So here we go!
