I do the Hard Workout to Lose Weight

It's so good to be back. At least I can get online things done now that I'm back in my own work place - my room. It has been such a struggle for me to get some blog postings done away from my comfort zone. No matter how I try I simply can't get things through my head while in someone else's place.

The result... LONG POST GAP! (Sigh!) When will I ever learn?

Anyway, I'm back and that's what matters now I guess and as promised I will talk about the routine I do to lose weight. So what is it exactly?

I do Billy Blanks' Tae Bo for a workout. It's a real tough workout I must say. Using the instructional videos I started doing it in 2007 but had to stop after I was being diagnosed of an ovarian cyst at a later part of the year. To cut the story short, I underwent complete surgery November of the same year and it took me years to get completely healed and to gain back enough strength to do things I used to do back when I was still in a healthy condition. Working out is one of them.

I would have been in a perfect shape already after the operation. I feel so light; my shape was like that of a teenager... I couldn't ask for more... sadly my surgery affected my metabolism making it slower than it was. I couldn't control my carb intake during the span of my healing time because I feel like I am always starving I had to gobble regardless. Then I started to bloat. That's when I thought of doing Tae Bo again.

The first attempt in 2009 was a failure though...well probably because my muscles are no longer used to it. I mean I literally passed out while trying to do a particular program. Then I realize maybe I had to start with the basic again - something slow and I did. I took Taebo seriously somewhere in 2010 (around November if I remember it right) and started with the 40-minute aerobic cardio workout for 2 months and added few more grinds along the way.

I've shredded a total of 20 lbs. so far. That's quite an achievement for me already. :D
