We had a fantastic time this year!

New Measurements are in...

11-29-11 Measurements from BootCamp

I've dropped from 32.07% body fat to 29.85%!  And about 3/4 to 1 inch in almost all measurements and I have lost another 4 pounds!

I have lost 20 lb so far!!

Journey Update 11/6/2011

I signed up with www.sceniccitybootcamp.com for a 6 month workout plan.  I have scheduled a 4 day per week workout which will take me through April 2012.  My plan is to loose another 25 pounds and get my BMI down from 32% to 25%.

This presents an interesting scenario since January through April is my busiest, most challenging time of the year.  I am hoping that the workout's will create a much needed stress-relief for me.

Thanks for following my progress and if I can be of assistance to you and your weight loss journey, please contact me - It helps to have someone on your side!!

October 25th Update

After 3 weeks of exercising on my own, I started another program.  Boot-camp involves one hour of intense intermittent exercises for a full body workout.  Here's a link if you'd like more information http://www.sceniccitybootcamp.com/.
