Well I am at Day 11 and everything seems to be going good. I have not had any setbacks yet. I bought some more supplements over the weekend and I was excited to try them. I picked up BSN No-Xplode, Athletic Edge InterXCell and Controlled Labs Orange Triad. I have used No-Xplode before and I love it. It gets me up and moving in the morning. The protein (Body Fortress Cookies & Crème) I have tastes horrible so I am going to try a different flavor when I restock.

I finally uploaded my pictures and posted them today so I can keep track. I am putting up Day 1 and Day 9 and you can already see a difference (although it’s little). I have gone from 194lbs to 187lbs this morning. I know most of it is water weight but it’s still encouraging. Its one day at a time. I have been telling people around my office about my transformation idea and I have been getting good responses. Everyone is anxious to see how I do. So that is more motivating because I don’t want people to see me fail. Hopefully I can help some of them get into better shape. Who knows?

I wanted to include a sample of my diet for everyone to see. Here is what I ate yesterday:

Morning Run & Workout

Meal 1: Oatmeal with Protein Shake

Meal 2: Banana with peanut butter

Meal 3: Salad with 6 oz. Chicken Breast

Meal 4: Protein Shake

Meal 5: 8oz. Steak with side salad

Meal 6: Protein mixed with yogurt

I am open for suggestions if I am way off with my diet or with the timing of what I am eating. Thanks again to everyone who reads this blog and I hope you reach your goals!!!

Well its day 6 of my 75 day transformation. Everything is going good so far. I am still getting used to eating every 3 hours. I think the smaller portions of food will be harder to get used to then anything else. I have been hungry around 8-9pm every night but I am told that will pass. It’s nice getting back into a rhythm again. I have to tell myself that it’s going to take a while to get the results I want.

I am not a morning person at all so when I wake up a 5 every morning I want to throw my alarm clock threw the wall! LOL Its fine once you get out of bed but it’s getting the motivation to get up that’s hard. Starting this new workout plan gets me moving in the morning because I am so excited.  I want to workout 24 hours a day but I know you have to rest for your muscles to grow. It’s easy to get excited to workout when you first start because it’s new and you want to change. I will really see how good my willpower and determination are after a couple of weeks to a month when my diet sets in and it is not new anymore but I am up for the challenge. I did not get a chance to post my pictures on here yet but I will do that over the weekend so everyone can see my before picture and my 1^st progress pic!

I just want to thank everyone who has read my fist post and gave me words of encouragement. That was great to hear and thanks to everyone who will be reading this for the first time! I will be posting again on Monday to say how my weekend went and talk more about my workouts and diet plan. Day 6 and 69 more days to go!

75 day transformation! I woke up one morning last week and I was finally tired of my inconsistent workout and diet regimen. I will be hardcore and make sure I am eating right and going to the gym 6 days a week and then I will get thrown off one week and not able to recover. I’m sure a lot of people have the same problem. I am ready to do something about it so I decided to do a 75 day transformation where I eat right and work my butt off to get the results I want. This is a lifestyle change and unless I treat it like that I will never get where I want to be.

I started on Sunday October 12^th. 75 days will take me to Christmas. I chose Christmas because that is one of the best times for me. I love everything about it, the celebration with family, the lights and everyone seems to forget their problems and have a good time. Also I figure if I can show my entire family the results I achieved through hard work and dedication it might inspire them to get their diet in order and become healthier. If what I am doing for me can help inspire just one person then that would be great but that’s not why I am doing it. I want to do it for my health and well being.

I also told everyone I know my plans for change. I figure my friends and family can help me and also it help to hold myself accountable. I don’t want to be the person to tell everyone that I quit. So this is my plan. I am going to take a picture of myself everyday for the next 75 days so people can see the changes that my body makes every day.  It will be nice to see my pictures from day 1 to day 75. I am going to post my blog two days a week, one blog at the beginning of the week and one at the end. This will be the time to update my progress and maybe to vent that I am hungry or post the changes I need to make so on, and so on. I am also going to post a picture once a week so people can see my changes.

Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone who is striving towards their goals!!!
