News Taffy

On Jan. 18, I bravely posted a photo of me in my bikini on the beach in Grand Cayman. I did this for three reasons. 1. To share with you what I’ve been doing to get in shape after my husband's unfortunate choice of words about how I looked. 2. To let you in on how you can get the same results with David Kirsch’s work out plans. 3. To keep myself motivated to achieve my goal.

So here is what I can report today. We just returned from Grand Cayman and I’m feeling better and looking more toned and lean than when I was there in December. I’ve kept up my workouts at the Madison Square Club and continued to eat really healthy food. But, I have not deprived myself. I’ve also enjoyed some chocolate and champagne along the way, too. I’ve lost a few more pounds, but more importantly to me, I feel better!

My weight loss has brought some new issues to the fore front though. Seems my butt deflated in the process! Why can’t we pick and choose where the weight comes off? So with a little less junk in my trunk and sadly a smaller bra size too, we’ve tweaked my workout plan. This precise tweaking is why I wanted to work with David. He is a true artist when it comes to sculpting, toning and shaping women’s bodies.

David joined me on the beach getaway last week and we hit the gym together. On Tuesday, he put us through an intense 60 minute butt blasting boot camp. The next day we did another boot camp. My butt and hamstrings were screaming at me, but I pushed through. What I can tell you today, is this: my rear end is moving back up to where it once resided! I’m not so sure we can do the same for my boobs. That will require an amazing bra or quite possibly a visit to a surgeon!

Several of my girlfriends are doing David’s workouts online. The Ultimate New York Body Plan is a great way to work out with David. I’ll be blogging about their results in the weeks ahead. I’m looking forward to sharing their success stories with you!

With my revamped workout I’m planning on keeping my rear view one of my best views! I’ll let you know how works out.
