Ouch!!!

So I have been trying to workout more diligently and watch what I am eating for a month now.  And let me tell you, I am kicking my bum.  
A couple of friends have started walking with me various days of the week. (one will come three days and the other comes one or two of the other days, so I'm walking almost every day) My wonderful hubby has been working out with me at night.  We had been using an old VHS tape I had from when I was in high school.  We did Tony Little Fat Free Upper Body and Tony Little Fat Free Lower Body  alternating days.  We were enjoying the early 90's attire and hair styles, reminiscing of when we sported such things (including the fitter body) I was having great results but my hubby was wanting more. 
So today while I was out looking at what fall decorations I could find, I came across The Biggest Loser Last Chance WorkoutI thought what the hey, it works for the people on t.v. right?!  So I picked it up and when I got home my dear hubby said lets try it out.  I've never seen him so excited to exercise.  So we sent the kiddos down to the Lego room to build a magnificent building together.  (I'll try to take a few pictures for another post) And we started working.  Oh my goodness.  Let me just say that it ended in one of us loosing our cookies.  We are going to keep going with this and see what result we find.  It would be great if I lost what the people on the show loose but I won't hold my breath.  
To give you an update from last month.  I have lost 5 pounds, and my inches continue to go down.
Start:                                             After 1 Month:
Waist: 46 in                                    41 in
Thigh: 32 in                                    29 in
Hips:   52 in                                    48 in
Arms:  16.5 in                                 16 in

I am pretty happy with how far I have come.  My endurance is up and I have more energy to be with my kids every day!  
I'll let you know in a month how I am doing with the change in workouts.  :)
