For those of you taking bets on how long it would take me to buy Alwyn's new Warp Speed Fat Loss program, I bought it one hour and ten minutes after it went on sale today. Thank you. I know I have a problem. LOL And not only did I do THAT, but I went to Dragon Door and bought two new kettlebells. My name is Skwigg and I am a compulsive fitness shopper. 

I have one beautiful 26lb Russian Red kettlebell, and just bought two 18 pounders. I also need a 35 pounder but you can only buy so much iron at a time without breaking both the bank and the UPS truck. I realize that Dragon Door is more expensive than the sporting goods store knockoffs, and that shipping is a holy nightmare, but I must have the "real" ones because I'm insane like that.

Warp Speed is 468 pages (not a typo) and it's in full color with lots of pictures. I didn't get the upgrade hard-copy DVD things and now I'm kicking myself for being thrifty. (When am I ever thrifty?) Today is the first day of sales, the server is totally crawling over there, barely alive. The fitness shopaholics have stampeded it like a bunch of little girls trying to get Hannah Montana tickets. I had to hit refresh for, oh, about 10 minutes before I got the download link to come up. Hopefully, I didn't charge my card 300 times.

I am rocking the Red Carpet workouts this week. Finally, I'm developing the endurance to blast them out without kneeling or crying or praying, but I still whimper a little on the deranged glute isolation moves and those lunges and squats that come up into a kick. Those sets burn like hell, but just as YogaGirl predicted, I'm no longer sore afterward, just... toasted. Like I can definitely feel that I've done something, but it's more of a dull fatigue feeling than standard screaming muscle soreness. Next week all the exercises change. That ought to be entertaining. Stand by for more whining.

I had a crazy realization this morning. If you're somebody who is not trying to lose weight (me) a love for crazy fat burning, metabolism blasting, ass-kicking workout plans simply allows you to eat more. :-D When I did Afterburn, I was not dieting, not in any way. I was averaging close to 2,800 calories per day and I still lost 8 pounds!! That is whack! So much for my metabolism slowing down as I age, eh?
