My New Trainer

I've hit a new stage in my life. I've become a victim of the late night infomercial.
Last week I bought "Billy's Boot Camp." You've heard of it. Billy Blanks combines his legendary Tae Bo training with an exciting fast paced aerobic workout that's sure to burn fat and boost energy!! Okay so I've seen the advertisement a few times. Look I'm just trying to tone up my midsection okay! GET OFF MY BACK!

So this weekend I get the DVDs. This morning I pushed my coffee table and recliner out of the way and I tackle "Mission One" right in the middle of my living room. Have you ever done aerobics on TV before? Even in the privacy of my own home I couldn't believe what I was doing. I felt like a total idiot punching and kicking to music. I also thought I was a pretty good athlete until I tried the punch, punch, hook, kick combination. I probably tripped over myself a half dozen times.

In my desperate attempt to shed weight, I've taken drastic measures. But I'm determined to get ripped before my 10 year reunion in September. I'll let you know how "Mission Two: firming up that butt" and "Mission Three: toning and lengthening those lucious legs" goes.

And please, if you know my dad, don't tell him I'm doing this. He'd be nearly as ashamed as I am.
