So I cracked

and bought a scale this weekend. I haven't owned a scale in over a year. This means that I won't be able to make false claims about my weight anymore. I'm actually going to have to hold myself accountable.

Also, just this morning, I ordered this butt kicker DVD which came in highly recommended by a few friends and coworkers.

It's a 20 minute workout every day for 30 days. I will probably do it every morning before I go to work. Easy enough. Right?

Probably not. From the reviews I read, this is grueling. [For ex: "This is an all out balls to the walls fitness regime that is very painful, grueling and intense."] Did they just say balls to the walls? haha.

So my copy should be arriving in the mail next week. And once I get started, I will keep you posted on my progress. My temporary inability to squeeze fit into my clothes will hopefully be just that: temporary. Fingers crossed.

There you go! My new and improved tush kickin' workout plan!

Now if any of you have any good healthy recipes that you are willing to share, my thighs I would appreciate it. :)

Edited to Add:
Why am I doing this? A lot of people kind of rolled their eyes at me when I mentioned embarking on this 30 day program. I'm know I'm not overweight, and I don't think I'm fat. I'm a small person. That said, I can't button some of my favorite jeans, and that makes me mad. I also cannot make it up three flights of stairs without getting completely out of breath. I don't necessarily want to lose weight, but I want to have a more defined and more toned shape. I'd like to have a great body and I want to be healthy.
