Well, I started my Body-for-Life 12 week challenge a week and a half ago.  I am on day 13 today.  So far things have gone well and my motivation level is very high.  I took my before pics on Day 1 and posted them on BodySpace.  I started at about 160 lbs.  I did my first workout on the program with upper body.  I have never really worked out with free weights before so it was a new experience and boy was I sore the next day.  The next day I did my cardio workout, 20 minutes of intervals on the treadmill.  Wow, was I sweating because I’d never done more than 10-12 minutes before! 

Day 3 was lower body - free weights and machine.  I did lunges, that was new for me.  I could barely walk the next day but I wasn’t injured, it was just good muscle soreness. 

I haven’t missed a workout so far.  The nutrition has been going well.  I’m following the 6 meals a day with a carb and protein portion but I’m also counting carbs and protein, fat and calories because I enjoy doing that.  So far, I’ve lost an average of 0.3 lbs per day which keeps me on my goal to 20 lbs. in 12 weeks.
