Zaggora 2 week challenge - THE RESULTS!

{source}

Cast your minds back far and wide to when I bared all and gave you my measurements for the good 'ol Zaggora 2 week challenge? Can't remember? I wouldn't blame you it was a while back now. Anyway, onto better things! I have just completed my 2 week challenge and I am here to give you the results and my thoughts on my pants. First, thoughts. I LOVE them. Seriously, they add so much to a workout it's unbelievable. My body temperature sky rockets and I can feel it doing so much good for me. Now I can waffle on all day long about the benefits but there are a few negatives, nothing major though. 1: I'm short so they do come up long on me and don't sit tightly on my calf (because they're at my ankle!) and 2: they squeak, like rustle because my thighs still touch. The material makes a weird rustling sound but it's nothing that would stop me from using them! Just cosmetic really! Now onto the results. I'm not going to lie to you, I put on a bit of weight over Christmas so I have had to lose more weight and I've not been eating fantastically BUT I have been to the gym 3 times a week, rested in my HotPants 2.0 and I have seen a measurement difference! I have lost 2 inches on my hips and 2 1/2 inches off my stomach. Seriously, I was astounded because I haven't been eating well at all so I now propose to do the 2 week challenge over again. Starting on Friday (15/02/13) I shall post again my weight and measurements and on the 1st of March I will be back with a new set of results so you can get a better view of how well Zaggora work! All I can say is I want to invest in the above pairs because a little bit of colour can't hurt anyone! 

Have you tried Zaggora before?

30 Day Shred - LET'S DO THIS!

{source}

Today, on the 4th August 2012, I hereby pledge to put myself through hell for 30 days with the help of this DVD. Now, if you haven't heard of this fitness regime, then you're incredibly lucky and you need to run away this instance but if you have then you'll know how much pain I'm going to be in. I have already done day 1 and my legs are burrrrrrrrrning! The founder of this workout is Jillian Michaels, one of the trainers on America's The Biggest Loser (something I do watch every season!) and she is TOUGH and you can see it through this. The workout consists of a 20 minute workout:

- One 2 minute warm-up

- Three 6 minute circuits ft. Jillian's 3-2-1 interval system:
> 3 minutes strength 

> 2 minutes cardio

> 1 minute of abs
& a one 2 minute cool down

This workout is HARD. I am not going to lie, and there are 3 different work outs on this DVD: 1, 2 and 3 so I will be progressing every 10 days hoping my fitness levels really do shoot up! 

Along with this, I thought I'd follow in Sophia's and Sandra's footsteps and do a little weight loss journey on my blog. This way, I'll have to be motivated and hopefully I can motivate someone else as well :) Tomorrow I will put up all of my measurements, and my weight and I am aiming to lose around 40 pounds. I'll do a weekly weigh in on here and I hope you like this little addition to my blog! 

Have you ever done the 30 Day Shred? Are you on a weight loss journey?
