Another week is over and I just finished up my free day. I don’t think I have lost any weight, but my clothes are starting to fit better. I am also getting the old college strength back. I was playing with my daughters today and I was able to toss my eldest up in the air way higher to her delight. At any rate, this system works pretty well, even though I am not using their products.
If anyone tries to use the program, I advise staying on the plan for at least 3 weeks. It will suck really bad for that amount of time and then the annoyance goes away. I used to get really hungry and I would get crabby, but now I am feeling better and my appetite is changed. I hope some of you out there try it. The beauty is that it works even without the products and whatnot.

I have decided to start the Body For Life program after many months of waffling. I figured I would be blog about it so others who want to lose some weight might be inspired. I have taken my before pictures, but I haven’t downloaded them yet, but I will shortly. I have been on the plan for about two week now and I have lost about 10 pounds so far, pretty cool huh?
The Body For Life program is a 12 week program with an emphasis on diet and intense workouts. I work out 6 days a week, trading off weights and cardio on each day. I of course hate cardio, but it’s a means to an end so I do it. The idea behind the system is that you will eventually have the eating and workout habit down by the time your body goes through the initial transformation. From then on you keep living that lifestyle and by default you stay healthy.
This is how the workouts go:
Monday: Upper Body workout (46 min max)
Tuesday: Cardio (20 min max)
Wednesday: Lower Body workout (46 min max)
Thursday: Cardio (20 min max)
Friday: Upper Body workout (46 min max)
Saturday: Cardio (20 min max)
Sunday: Free Day (Eat whatever you want)
The free day seems like it’s pretty cool, but let me tell you it isn’t all that great. By the second week you will probably start hating the free day and won’t eat too badly. The first day I was the Tasmanian devil in the kitchen, but the day after I felt like a dirty rag. The diet is pretty simple and there is a cookbook that helps plan out the meals. As with everything, you have to plan in order to work this plan and it’s not for the timid. It’s worth it though, wish me luck!
