Woohoo! Finally! After weeks of eating horribly and intentionally packing on a few pounds I finally got to weigh in and take my pictures and measurements tonight. I knew I had gained about 20 lbs, so I wasn't shocked when the scale said 230.5 lbs. I know that A LOT of that will melt off within the first week and I planned for that. However, the pictures were a little more shocking. They are posted online on my bodyspace account along with tonight's measurements. If you want to see them, feel free to click on the bodyspace link to the left. I'm going to spare those that don't want to see them by not posting them here...for the time being. I'll put a before and an after side by side when I'm done with my transformation.
So, after I registered and weighed in I spent the rest of the evening cooking. I bought a new George Foreman grill because I'll be eating a lot of grilled chicken and fish. I prepared tomorrow's meals tonight. Each meal will have a lean protein, complex carb and vegetable. I'll eat every 3-4 hours. Sometimes I'll have protein shakes instead of a meal. After 3 I'll cut out my carbs and focus more on veggies with my protein. I'll take a multi vitamin and CLA. My exercise regimen will consist of cardio 7 days a week; bootcamp 5 days a week; weight training 4 days a week. Most days my cardio will be whatever mileage I'm supposed to run in preparation for my next half marathon, April 30.
Right now, other than being super tired, I'm beyond excited! I know that the next 84 days are going to bring out the best in me! They will test my limits both physically and mentally. I look forward to the growth in ALL areas of my life and I look forward to learning more about myself through the process. I'm thrilled that I have great friends who are taking on this challenge with me. We are going to motivate and inspire each other...and probably talk a little trash along the way.
Let the games begin!
