So, in an effort to change my life and reach my goals, I am going to enlist whoever reads this to help me out. Here is the back story:
At the beginning of this year, I weighed 270 lbs & was a 42/44 inch waist. I had set a goal of being either 200 lbs or a 38 inch waist by the 4th of July. By the 4th of July, I had dropped 50 lbs and was a loose 40 inches. So, I hadn't reached my goal, but I was still pretty proud of myself, especially considering that the majority of loss was attributed to diet change and me starting Isagenix.
Anyways, the summer came. Barbecues, vacation, beer, & parties accumulated to a 10 lb relapse. So, here I sit today: 240 lbs, 39-40 inch waist, in that awkward position where some clothes fit too loose, some that I haven't worn in a while now fitting, & trying to figure out what to keep, what to toss, & what to buy. All I do know is that I want to get to ~200lbs and/or a 36 inch waist. And I want to have this accomplished by New Years. So, how am I going to do it? That's what I need you for.
Here's the game plan: First and foremost, I am starting up Isagenix again. Losing all that weight I did while on it was no accident. I also felt healthier both physically and mentally, slept better, and it was dead simple to follow. I also notice I was a lot more even keel emotionally. Not sure if it was anecdotal, but it's worth mentioning.
Secondly, I am going to begin doing the Insanity workout. The gym at my job (how cool is that?!) has a tv in the studio room, I guess you could call. Bottom line, it's the perfect place for me to go do Insanity. There aren't that many people there in the morning so I wouldn't really be putting anyone out.
Thirdly, I'm going to start tracking with My Fitness Pal. I paid a lot more attention to everything when I used it. It kept me honest.
Fourth, I am go to do the "IsaBody Challenge". Basically, Isagenix runs a perpetual contest to help people get in shape. The participants all help each other & cheer each other on, but it is still a competition so I'll stay motivated because I'll want to win.
Lastly, I am going to post EVERYTHING. Pictures, weigh-ins, measurements, updates, etc. Once a month, I will weigh, measure & picture my progress. Every entry on My Fitness Pal will be public. I'll even post pics of my meals so you can help keep me honest.
If anybody wishes to join me for any part of this, that would be awesome. If you want to try out Isagenix for yourself and see how good it works, send me a private message & I can help you out with that & get you a discount on your order. If you work with me and want to do the workout in the morning with me, talk to me and we'll set up a time to meet up there.
For everybody else, I need you to keep me honest and accountable. Ask me why I haven't posted if I have not, ask me for updates. Words of encouragement will always be welcome. Friendly advice will always be accepted.
It is now Friday, August 31st. Labor Day weekend. When I weighed my self this morning, I weighed 240 lbs. I am going to measure myself Saturday, September 1st, and post my measurements. I will begin everything Monday, Labor Day, with the first day of Insanity & the 11 day Isagenix Jump Start.
Wish me luck.
