Thanks to Cindy for kicking my butt into gear, and motivating me to finally doing something about this junk in my trunk! Look out Pharmacy - here we come - Ka-Chow!
Okay so this is day one of my body transformation! Yikes! Big things ahead...
I am taking part in the Burn the Fat Challenge - check it out!
98 days for transform your body and possibly win a trip to Maui! Sounds like motivation to me!!
Took my measurements this morning:
Weight: 170.2 lbs
Waist (at belly button): 37.75"
Waist (smallest part): 35"
Arms (bicep): 11"
Chest (under breast): 37"
Chest (over breast): 42"
Hips: 40.25"
Upper Thighs (around chub rub, lol): 22.75"
Calves: 14.25"
Neck: 13.25"
Pounds of Fat: 50.37 lbs
I also measured my body fat using the Accu-Measure Calipers & came up with a measurement of "20", which for my age group translates to 29.6% body fat - Eww! This is borderline overweight, and I'm never going to have this much body fat again!
I am also picking up a body fat scale today so will be using that to measure my body fat as well.
I'm 33 years old, 5' 7" - so at this time, my goal is to lose
I will be using mostly the P90X program for my fitness portion for the first bit of this transformation, then will incorporate more weights and cardio at my gym when I get more fit (and have more time).
I will be following the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program, developed by Tom Venuto as a no-nonsense & straightforward approach to achieving your ultimate body. I have the e-book and it's awesome, especially for his methods of motivation & goal setting.
I will take some photos later today, once I've actually gotten a little more prettied up (gotta look half-decent with the fat photos, lol!)
So I will be blogging daily about my progress, daily menus, exercise, etc. as a challenge to myself to stay motivated and on track. I don't know if anybody is actually going to read this blog or not, but I am putting myself out there and making myself accountable to somebody.
I can and will do this, and I'm sick of being fat, tired, achy, sick, and generally gross!
Thanks for joining me & please leave any comments / questions you may have!
