Weight Loss Video Diary - Take 1

As promised (many, many moons ago...I apologize for my procrastination I have been legitimately very busy these past weeks, but I digress)  below is my video/weightloss diary - Chapter 1. A couple of disclaimers before you click play and begin to analyze, dissect and critique me while watching my embarassing rambling, shaky camera and unflattering body images...lol

• I had to take this video myself since the hubs was not around, after trying to set up my camera in many a make-shift tripod (note to self: get a real tripod soon:) I decided the best method would be to talk to a mirror:)
• Pardon my inccesant "umming", I guess I am a bit nervous this being my first official video.
• The partial "body image" in that wide-angle mirror is not the most flattering and actually makes me look a lot wider than I really am, also realized the  angle of the lighting didn't help.  Next video I'll have the hubs record so that you can get a much better idea of what I really look like. It will also help me measure my progress more accurately.  A better indicator are my measurements which are currently: Bust: 44, Waist: 33 1/2, Hips: 45. Currently wearing a size 14 Misses in most dresses, shirts, skirts and pants. When it comes to slimmer cut jeans however, still wearing a size 16 misses. ( My  ultimate goal is to be a size 12 across the board with a few skinny jean 14's sprinkled in for good measure:)

I have begun a very different eating regime to help me out of this plateau, somewhat of a modified South Beach. It consists of lots and lots of healthy proteins, veggies, monusaturated fats (i.e. avocados, nuts, olives, olive oil), a little low-fat dairy and absolutely no fruits, whole grains and sugars (not even my beloved agave) this is just a 2-week plan. I will be on it till the end of this week and then starting next Monday slowly start incorporating good carbs back into my diet. My excercise schedule this week will be the following:

Monday - 1 hour High Intensity Cardio
Tuesday - 30 minute high intensity cardio 30 minutes of weight-lifting and toning.
Wednesday - 1 Hour Zumba
Thursday - 45 minute high Intensity Cardio. 15 mintues of weight lifting and toning.
Friday - 1 Hour High Intensity Cardio
Saturday - Rest
Sunday - 1 Hour Bike Ride (5 miles)

This is my goal. By next week I'll have an update to see if Ive stuck by this schedule. Please stay tuned...
