The results are in!

So today, my personal trainer and I sat down and set some goals. I have decided that writing my goals on paper make them more permanent to me and help me to know that I have something that I need to achieve. Without a goal I tend to meander through without direction.

So my measurements were:

mid-2008 01/2009

Weight: 178.4 214.25

Shoulders: 45" 48"

Chest: 40" 42.5"

Arms: UF-11.25 F-12.75 UN-12 F-13.75

Waist: top-33" btm-35.5" top-39" btm-42"

Hips: 39.25 44"

Thighs: 20.5 22.5"

Calves: 14.5 15.5"

Totals: 20% BMI 28.6% BMI

So those are the measurement changes. As you can see I have put on considerable weight compared to where I was. I have gained fat and lost muscle. Now my goals are as follows

Long-term- Lose 32" of fat

Get weight down below 180 or less

Short term- (6 weeks) Fitness Evaluation Feb. 22nd-28th

lose 6 lbs, loss 8-10" of fat

Every Sunday I have to sit down and plan my meals so that I know what I will be eating through the week and will be less likely to grab anything that's bad for me to eat! This will cut down on the processed foods as well as the junk that I eat. I have to take in at least 3 liters of water a day and take cinnamon, cayenne pepper, ginseng, and a papaya enzyme for blood sugar, energy and other various reasons. I am also going to start with a 14 day cleanse starting on Monday so that I can get my body right and ready.

Outside of my personal training I will be running and training for the Half- Marathon. I am still undecided if I want to do Nashville or the Derby again but I am going to train none the less. Which means running after work on a daily basis a minimum of at least 3 miles and of course up to whatever length I wish.

So here's to getting fit and trim and hopefully healthy and sexy! Now, wheres aspirin, I have a headache!

p.s. one more thing, I'm giving up alcohol for 30 days to help my body adjust as well!
