Bowflex delivery day!

Woohoo!

Bowflex will be delivered today!

Very excited to get started. It took the entire 17 days for delivery they talk about on the Shopping Channel website.
My wife and I have been following the eating program they suggest as part of their "6 Week Challenge", just to get a feel for it. It is not as hard as I thought it would be.

The program starts with 1500 calories per day for men and 1300 for women. Not a lot of food considering you could easily eat 1500 calories in one meal at McD's. The calorie level drops 100 calories every two weeks.

The other part of the eating program is the water. You start with 4 liters per day and add 1/2 liter each week for the 6 weeks. Be prepared to be close to a bathroom. Had to go at least 10 times a day for the 1st few days, but that is getting better as my body gets used to the increased water intake.

My kids are going to try and get started with the Bowflex assembly today.

I will update after we get it together to report on how the assembly went.

About to get started on my Bowflex!!!

I just ordered my Bowflex Sport from the Shopping Channel. Saved a bundle compared to buying it from Bowflex direct.
I expect delivery this week. I am a bit of a mechanical ditz, so I am not looking forward to the assembly.
I have read through the diet program and the exercises. Looks do-able. I need to loose 25 lbs, soooo here we go.
I will update the blog once I get delivery!
