Kickboxing joys.

I did the Jillian Michaels "Kickbox Fast Fix" last night for the first time and LOVED it! 

While I lived in Germany I became obsessed with Les Mills body combat and body pump.  At that time in my life I had an abundant amount of time to myself and spent a lot of time in the gym (especially with Jason deployed and Noelle in school).  If you haven't heard of either programs or have never tried it I recommend finding a class near you! Both of them were so much fun and so torturous all at the same time.  This DVD was only 20 minutes and it seemed like 5!  At the end of it Noelle actually said "Its been 20 minutes already?!) It reminded me a lot of body combat.  A lot of punching and kicking was involved.  It makes you feel pretty bad ass and feel super cool!  It made me work up a sweat and I enjoyed every minute.  I would like to find a real kickboxing class here and give it a go. That is on my to do list!

The program is going and so am I.  Calorie counting has been very eye opening.  If you ever have a free moment download the "my fitness pal" app and log your food for a day.  You will be shocked by how many calories you are actually consuming.  All of the calorie counting has become a competition with myself.  I like to see what I can tweak here or there to get my calories and carbohydrates down.  I haven't really had to many serious cravings.  I'm sure I will eventually probably sooner than later but as for now I am feeling good.  I would still totally be fine with downing a Diet Pepsi on a daily basis!  I miss my crack! 

So what are your favorite exercises/programs?
