Day 2

Day 2 was actually quite good. I woke up with renewed energy and cleaned all day. I was happy even when stress entered my day. I love exercise! I was sore today and a little hungry. Unfortunately when you cut your caloric intake in half, that is bound to happen. ;-)
My workouts are scheduled for 7 pm m-th. Tonights workout was good. Started off with running up the stairs for 10 minutes and then moved inside for the Bio Flex workout. I had a new partner tonight and he was very helpful! I have noticed that the men in the program seem to have a better understanding of the home gym equipment.
I am looking forward to tomorrow, except I need to start converting all of my food into a caloric breakdown. I forgot to mention that all of my food has to be logged, with the exact breakdown of calories, carbs and fat.

Day 1

So on day one, I woke up feeling awful, so the diet was no big deal. My exercise time is at 7pm M-TH every week. We started out with cardio- running up the World Gym stairs for 10-15 minutes; wow, that will luckily  get easier soon! Then worked out on the Bio Force for an hour. There is a different workout scheduled for every day, so it will always keep us on our toes. Made a workout buddy- Amanda. She is cool. :-)
Over all had a good first workout, but wished I felt less flu-ish. Tomorrow will be be better.

I was also informed that I may not post pictures of my progress on a public domain, such as this Blog or FB.

First weigh in and before pictures

Hello! Today was an exciting day. I had my first weigh in for the transformation program and the professional 'before' photos taken. That was a neat experience. So many lights and cameras; not to mention the various stations where I had to leave my before outfit. Also, my gym outfit that I will have to take pictures in after the program is complete in 12 weeks. Not to forget the embarrassing candid photos I provided- yikes!
My initial weight in results were as follows:
9/25/2010
Weight:
153.4 lb  (0)
Fat Mass:
45 lb  (0)
Body fat Percentage:
29.33 %  (0)
Lean Mass:
108.4 lb  (0)
Navel Inches:
34.25"  (0)
Total Inches:
209.75"   ()
I was told that my ideal fat mass is 18% and that this goal is possible with this program. I will be measured and photographed every two weeks!
The machine that I am testing is the Bio Force 2.2. I am not sure if I will be using this machine every time I go to the gym, but this is the company/product paying for the program.
So, I am scheduled to hit the gym 4-5 times a week at 7pm. Yikes. I need to quickly figure out how to properly eat my dinner and exercise before bedtime.
The one thing that I am excited about is the flexible diet plan! My friend Raine recently finished the Dave Depew Transformation program for the Proform AB Glider machine and her diet was VERY strict and boring. So, needless to say, I am happy for my small blessings. :-)
I will be back to check in after my first workout on Monday, September 27th.
