60 Day Challenge Week 1- Start Date 1/9/2012

Week 1 was truly a breeze, I was excited about the change, I was looking forward to the workouts, eating clean and feeling lean! Now I just have to keep this momentum going for the next 54 days! :) I'm actually looking forward to the next phase in my transformation. In fact, I'm actually even planning to take some bikini pictures to begin tracking my muscular development throughout this journey. The most exciting news is not only the fact that I'm down 2.8 lbs and weighed in at 146lbs and 31.6% Body fat! (smile) but that I completed 7 workouts as well. So, in case I didn't explain this before, the challenge is to workout 7 times per week as opposed to 7 days per week. However, if one wanted to workout 1 time per day for the next 60 days they would be more than welcomed to. I had a bit of a time with training the rear delts and my leg day was brutal. However, I did a Personal Training session with Arvell and Tujuana to finish off the week and struggled my way all the way through it. Lol. For week 2 I'd like to incorporate a much more organized eating schedule, I found myself missing my protein snacks and I know that's critical for my muscle building needs. My meal plan was

Breakfast: 5 egg whites, veggies and a starch
Mid morning: Protein snack & veggies
Lunch: 6oz of lean meat, salad and veggies, a starch
Late afternoon: Protein snack & veggies
Dinner: 6oz of lean meat, salad and veggies, a starch
Evening: 5 Egg Whites & veggies
****No carbs after 7 and I eliminated all my unnecessary snacking.

****Post Pregnancy, Toned and Tight, Lean Body.......HERE I COME!

NuLife 60 Day Challenge

Today, January 9th 2012, I will embark on one of the most fulfilling journeys of my fitness career. I am taking part in our annual 60 day Challenge for the 1st time in 5 years. I am asking that you all pray with me through this because, this is not only a physical challenge for me, it is a mental and spiritual challenge for me as well. This is not so much about what I will give up in the next 60 days, this is about what I will gain physically, spiritually and mentally in the next 60 days that I'm truly excited about. The biggest accomplishment for me will be COMPLETING the challenge first and foremost and getting more organized in both my work and home life during this 60 days. I'm taking it as far as posting my weekly weigh ins along with the other members and checking in for my workouts as well. I have vowed to take this one day at a time and utilize this time to organize something in my life at least once per week (paperwork, meals, schedules, housework, office work, etc). As you guys have seen in the past I don't have a great track record for completing my challenges so, this one is important to me because I feel a great need to add this to my bucket list of accomplishments. I also want to buckle down and sculpt this body into the masterpiece I know its capable of being. I am looking forward to GETTING IT DONE and LOOKING good as a reward! See you at the Finish line!

Today's Weight 148.8 & 33.2%
