My journey to today has taken many turns and ups and downs.
The past 18 months has seen some tough times in my life. While I was not consistent with my training and there were inconsistencies in my nutritional intake, I have for the most part stayed healthy. During the gall bladder issues I had last year my weight went up 25 lbs from 148 up to 175. This, after reaching, what I felt at the time, the best shape of my life. Over the course of the past 18 months I have gotten my weight back down, but also at the cost of some lean muscle.
So here I am at a major turn in my life. What is before me is practically an open road. I have been challenged to "step out on the water."
One of the steps I have decided to take is to reclaim my physique goals and get back to the shape I was back on Feb. 14, 2010.
This is my vis pic for this mission!
I have taken some measurements and weighed myself. (my scale also has a BIA device to measure bodyfat %. I am not counting on it to be an accurate source of bodyfat % measurement, but as a guide showing progress.)
My stats as of this morning(November 21, 2011):
scale weight: 152.8 lbs
bodyfat %: 29.2%
waist: 33"
hips: 40 3/4"
right thigh: 24"
calf: 15.5"
chest: 34"(with sports top on)
My goal is to cut down the bodyfat by quite a bit. (in the pic above, my bodyfat% was at 15% and that is my first mid-term goal) And to gain back the lean muscle I have lost.
I will be using Scott Tousignant's "Metabolic Masterpiece" program the next 12 weeks.
This is one part of my "Genesis", the physical part.
I have already begun on the mental and spiritual part, but am far from where I want to be. Also in the works are the financial and life goals. I have taken small steps towards those ideas.
Here are today's Day 1 "before" pics:

Hi Suzette! I'm off to a bit of a slow start, but I'm still really excited about this mission.
ReplyDeleteSo excited about this mission for you!! I'll have to check out that workout program. I know you can do this, Suzette. You have more faith and dedication than anyone I know, and the great thing is you let God's light shine through your life along your journeys. Thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey. :)
ReplyDeleteMelinda, I'll be providing an affiliate link before the night is over. I would appreciate it if you'd use that link if you were to choose to buy the Metabolic Masterpiece program. He is soon to be offering lifetime updates to all future MM updates.
