As most of you know, I began a hard core training regimen and eatingp lan with Matt Packer at Healthier U in Lancaster. I have battled my weight for a year or so - last year from January to December, I worked out every day - I did various cario workouts religiously and ate pretty healthy.....never lost a pound or an inch.....:( total sadness.....
Fast forward to January 13th, 2009. I started on a eating plan and began seeing Matt twice a week. The first week was a little rough....brown rice, chicken, eggs, veggies and protein to a picky, carb-loving eater is NOT fun! :) But, I said I'd try it and that I'd eat perfectly and that's what I did. Eating every 2.5 to 3 hours is hard to do....I pack a cooler with my food, my protein shakes, my snacks...I have to pack it all because as everyone knows, I'm on the go, ALL THE TIME!
The workouts at Healthier U are never the same.....I love how Matt changes the routine up - one day we'll do more cardio than others, other days we'll do more weights.....it's fun and I honestly look forward to my hour of gym time by myself! (Well, that was, until Lyon started joining me on Mondays! heehee!)
My first week I lost 6 lbs.....I got on the scales just out of curiosity and was so surprised and exicted! On January 20th, I did some body measurements. I waited a week and did them again - I had lost 6 inches overall! The next week, another 5.5! :) I am now going to New Energy two other days during the week - something that I would have never done! I had no idea what workouts to do and where to start! :)
As you can see, this "project" has been extremely successful for me right out of the gates! The plan is to run this for 12 weeks and see where I am....I have my 10 year reunion this year, my husband turns 30, we're spending 2 weeks at the beach this summer and my best friend is getting married....I need to be fit and look good! Sooooooo.......life is good.
Here's my photo comparing week 1 to week

I'm extremely happy about my results thus far and am SO excited to see what the next 8 weeks are like! I will do a photo from week 4 to week 8 and another from week 8 to week 12! :)
