2008 Transformation Contest

114 kg/250lb not bad for a beginner lol just kidding. Anyways I will be posting my required video in next few days, just to make all official

Here is the starting weight video:

My weigh-in video at long last! I originally filmed 2 videos.  One on my new Christmas camera (with audio) and one on my old Easy Share camera (sans audio).  My new camera has caused me nothing but problems and I lost one of the videos.  I believe I wasn’t working the camera correctly.

I weighed in on December 26 at between 157-158.  My scale reads closer to 160 in the video. We will just go with the lower number, as the gym scale also verified 157! 

My one week update!

I have to say I am sitting happy and very content with my progress!  I weighed in this morning at 150 lbs!  

This is a 7 lb drop for me!  I am VERY, VERY, pleased.  Results do make the sacrifice come easier.  

This was my calorie and protein count for week 1.  I am not counting carbs or fat.  (The diet I am following assures them both to be low.)

Wed 12/26: fasting  200 calories, zero protein
Thurs 12/27 1275 calories, 110 grams protein
Fri 12/28 1200 calories, 94 grams protein
Sat 12/29 1420 calories, 105 grams protein
Sun 12/30 1750 calories, 150 grams protein
Mon 12/31 1590 calories, 165 grams protein
Tues 1/01 1510 calories, 134 grams protein

I will add my one week progress pictures to this post later tonight.  I will  be updating my workout tracker, and posting in my own blog sometime this evening.

Have a great day friends!

Ladies and Gentlemen (and SCT),

Weighing-in in front of people is a very hard thing for me to do.  My body is not a source of pride at the moment and showing it to the world is humbling.  This is probably the case for many in the western world.  As I do this, and as my anxiety grows, I continually remind myself that the fat is not me.  The fat is a mass of cells, a coat that I am working to take off.  If you allow yourself to be a fat person instead of a person that simply needs to lose unhealthy fat you will struggle with emotions of poor self image.  Everyone,  you are all wonderfully and majestically made.  You must be able to look at your true state and smile.  

I will reshoot this weigh-in because I did not include a good shot of the paper or me standing on the scale.

Figured my scale out…it uh has a replacable battery…….ha!

Nothing better to wake up to than getting to take some video! This was my first video shot in the bathroom ever, and so you should all feel special to now be included in that part of my life, hahaha.

The video seems to be a tad on the dark side, but the weigh-in numbers are visible and confirmable via the attached pictures as well. In the future I will have to add some extra lighting to make things more pleasing to the eyes.

Without further rambling…

And then the photo of the weigh-in as well for verification:

I’m off to the gym for some Legs and Cardio.

Thats right. Today is the big day.  Day 1 of the transformation contest.  I am so ready.  Yesterday I felt like a caged animal ready to be released.  Over the long weekend, I wrapped up the final phase of my stategy for the competition.  It just built up the excitement for me.  I would have been in the gym yesterday if it wasnt for other things going on and if my gym was opened.  Ninjabills home gym was a little far to travel for an hours workout. I did donate my fee to the little red kettle though.  LOL
