It’s now 2007 as we all know, unless you haven’t quite recovered from partying, and many people start their New Year’s resolutions. Seven years ago almost to the day I was fat and out of shape. I was 235lbs, 23% bodyfat and miserable. I saw Kelly Adair on TV talking about how she had won Body-for-Life (BFL). It was then I said if this woman can do it, why aren’t I? I began BFL in 2000 and haven’t turned back to that fat slob since. I’ve competed in two shows and on my way to the third on March 31, 2007.
I compete to give myself something to strive for in terms of dieting and my physqiue. I’ve found that attaching an end result and committing to it, I follow through instead of just saying, Oh I wanna get in better shape. I started out nearly 4 weeks ago at 226lbs and as of yesterday I am at 211lbs. 15lbs in the first month not too shabby, but this is the time when I get strict and the pounds start shedding.
Off to work shoulders and calves today followed by 45 minutes of cardio. I’ll be posting more often on what my workouts and diet is looking like throughout this prep.
Happy New Year!
