OH.....MY......GLUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I just completed my first actual week of Brazil Butt Lift and all I can say is "OUCH". One workout that I did 3 times this week is called the Bum Bum ("boom boom" for butt) and it is essentially 30 minutes of nothing but lower body exercises...BACK TO BACK. No breaks given to you, except of course for the ones that I give myself. :) It is intense but effective. The other workout I did this week (which is becoming my new favorite cardio) is called Cardio Axe (I forget the way he pronounces it), but it is a dance that you learn and it is fun and a great workout. The other workout (High & Tight) is also all lower body, but you are doing exercises with a band or with ankle weights, so while your heart increases, it is nothing like the Bum Bum, but it is still very painful and I am often cursing at Leonardo (the instructor). The last workout I did this week was for abs (Tummy Tuck) and it is 18 solid minutes of torturous abdominal work. So, all in all, I have a love-hate relationship with the Brazil Butt Lift. I definitely think it is what my body and mind needed, but it is not going to be easy. :)

My weight and look of my body have stayed the same since I last updated. I range between 121-124, which is fine with me, especially since I often cheat with the food. :) I am also still a solid 4 or 5 in size (depending on which department), which greatly pleases me.

Amber,
Congratulations on your weight loss. That is a lot of weight to lose in that time period and you are so close to your weight goal. Maybe with the cross fit program you will be at that weight in no time. :) Also, congratulations on staying so consistent with your eating. I am very impressed by that because I know, for myself at least, that eating right is a difficult thing to stay on track with...especially where we work. :)

Sarai,
I wouldn't worry about your physical stuff right now. It sounds like what you are able to do during this time is enough to keep you at a healthy weight and probably give your mind a break from everything going on. I wouldn't worry about pushing yourself beyond what you can handle. I am also thinking about Turbo Fire, but I probably won't do it for awhile....most likely in the new year. I will keep you posted though. Also, as Amber said, you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. :)

Well, I should go get some food in my tummy...hopefully healthy, but we will see. :)
