Back to T-Tapp

I went back to T-Tapp today and it felt wonderful!  I felt a bit of muscle soreness from my aggressive Cardio Max workout yesterday.  I am not sure if that is a welcome sign or not.  I don't want to "bulk up" with muscles but I want to tone what I have because they burn more calories.  I listened to an encouraging radio interview which I posted to my blog about T-Tapp.  It encouraged me about the way T-Tapp works on the inside with your lymphatic system to help you eliminate wastes and fat, trimming inches from your body.  Give T-Tapp a chance!

Cardio Max

Getting out of bed today was not as difficult as I anticipated!  The Total Gym worked out some soreness.  Today I did Biggest Losers Cardio Max Level One.   I guess I have been wanting to know how the T-Tapp has shaped me up against all the other dvd's I have been doing.  I would have to say my muscles feel stronger and all the squats and lunges actually feel stonger....the cardio feels the same.  I really do not think the T-Tapp addresses the cardio system but it definitely uses the muscular system!

OH MY Aching Muscles!

My muscles are filled to the brim with latic acid from my Total Gym workout and I ache all over the place, in every wrinkle and crease!  I did the total gym workout on Sunday and so tonight I did the workout again .  I hope it works out some of the latic acid from the muscles but I will know tomorrow morning when I attempt to get out of bed

I'm a Cheater...

I have something to confess...I stayed from my T-Tapp workout and did a Biggest Loser workout today.  Maybe I was trying to shock my muscles a little, including my heart rate.  I just did not have the desire to do another "thread the needle", or "hoe down".   So, today I did the Biggest Loser Boot Camp level 1 and it did get my heart beating and it produced lots of sweat!  I wanted to make sure when I wear my new size 10 to work today, they will still fit!  You have to get the "clothes that fit" as you lose weight because slopping around in your larger sizes allows for a sloppy mental attitude.

Mind Body Connection

I made a mind body connection today.  I am still trying to wrap my mind around my new clothing size 10.  I am still shaking my head and trying to adjust.   I keep making execuses and undermining the accomplishment.  For example, the little brat inside my head keeps saying, "Well, you do know that the new size 10 is actually an old size 12, they are making clothing sizes bigger now but tagging them smaller so women can feel good about it!"  I think I will name this little brat "Nasty Nellie".  Today on my way to church I could hear Nasty Nellie chatting away and I decided that my new size 10 is perfect for me because I have 10 fingers on my hands and these are the same 10 fingers that feed my face.  Going past a size 10 to a 12 would not work as I am declaring that my clothing size must not extend past my digit capabilities!  Tonight I put my body through a Total Gym workout (we have one in the basement) and it works on the same principles as T-Tapp using your own body weight as resistance...it felt good and I got it all done in 30 minutes!

Ten

I went shopping tonight for a new bra because I had a coupon for ten dollars off a purchase at Penneys.
It is so hard shopping for a bra, so many styles to try on and it certainly is a process that requires an addditional person.  After I found acomfortable one, I decided to go try on some pants, as I have given away my size 14 dress pants that I wear to work.  I decided that I was definitely a 12 since my 14's were baggy.  I grabbed the twelves and took in a pair of tens, "just in case".  Then I had a head converation in the dressing room and it went like this, "Do I try on the tens first or the twelves?"  "If I put on the tens first and they don't fit, it will be depressing", but, "If I put on the twelves first and they fit or feel a little loose, then I go for the tens and nobodys feelings get hurt!"  You might be able to tell by the title of my blog which ones I ended up buying!......I was soooo happy I came home and did a celebratory 55 min ttapp!

Kinda Cranky

I woke up kinda cranky today and I did not want to exercise, but I knew that a little session of ttapp would not hurt me and may even lift my mood.  So, I doned the necessary clothing (step 1), set up the tv and dvd player (step 2), and popped open the dvd drawer....this is where I have to decide, commit, make a choice about what I want to do (step 3).  I looked over all the exercise dvd's I have collected and the one that seems to GIVE me energy and wash away the "crankies" is t-tapp.  I decided on the 18 minute basic workout (same as yesterday) with a 12 minute "Leslie walk". Oh, and by the way, I feel better....
