Here are the Token Fat Girl’s experience of using the above title.

I finished my morning exercise about an hour ago and I wanted to make a post for myself as a reminder of how good I feel after I exercise. I did 55 minutes of the Billy Blanks’ Total Body Fat Blaster and I loved it!

I’ve had these DVDs for years and have honestly not picked them up in such a long time. My favorite form of exercise is cardio kickboxing classes, I feel like I get a really hard workout and I’m less likely to get bored.

I also like Billy’s positive messages that really stick with me throughout the day. At the end he says “repeat with me. I am where I am today because my mind brought me here. I will be where I am tomorrow because my mind brought me there.” or something like that.

Post exercise note to self: I didn’t over think the process of exercise this morning. I got in the shower, put on my exercise clothes, sneakers and moved the coffee table out of the way. This workout is really challenging even without the resistance bands so I was sweating within the first five minutes. I felt really tired and sluggish for the first 15 minutes, but kept going. At the 30 minute mark, I felt tired, but it was getting easier. Billy’s encouraging words really helped me to stick with it and keep going. At the 40 minute mark I was starting to look forward to the end. At the 50 minute mark the cool-down began and I felt energetic and happy. It felt really nice to me that I worked out for 55 minutes and stuck with it. It was also nice to get it out of the way so even if I don’t do anything else today exercise-wise I know I did 55 minutes this morning.

I also feel like I could go to the gym later if I wanted to or do wii fit, because this morning exercise has put me in workout mode where it doesn’t feel like a burden to go to the gym or do more.

I’ve been making a real effort to eat more protein. Yesterday, was mostly veggie burgers (11-15 grams each) and this morning I had an egg sandwich with veggie cheese. I’m going to write a post soon about vegan cheese because I surprisingly love it.
