Day 1 - 30 May 2011 - - Starting Over

So, I started this blog over 2 years ago and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't made much progress at all. I did manage to lose a bit of weight and a few inches last May after completing a round of Insanity but I've pretty much gained it all back. I am once again setting out on the journey to change myself for the better, not for vanity's sake but for the sake of my health!

I tried to start a P90X/Insanity Hybrid program a few weeks ago but my husband started a new job and the school year came to a close for my son so I got thrown off course. Now that things are calming down and we are getting into a routine, it's time to get myself back on track. Right now my weight is 143 and my BMI is 28.8. My measurements are pretty close to what they were when I started this blog:

chest 37 7/8

waist 37 3/4

hips 40 1/4

thighs 22 1/2

I'm trying to be realistic in my goals but I would really like to lose at least 10 inches off my waist and hips.

In addition to doing the hybrid program I am planning to follow the Abs Diet for Women nutrition plan. I've already started implementing it and I have noticed a slight difference in the way my clothes fit. I have to admit that sometimes I have to force myself to eat because I'm just not hungry. Eating every 2 - 3 hours isn't as easy as it sounds. My biggest problem thus far is portion control so I need to work on that a bit.

I will be doing weigh-ins and taking measurements every 2 weeks. I plan to do daily posts which will include a workout log and a food journal. I am including my before pictures in this post and will include updated pics every 2 weeks along with my weight and measurements.

Starting tomorrow I will begin to polish myself and go from FAT to PHAT!!
