9 Months

I have to first give a huge thanks to all my trainers and to the Dudley and Bob Morning Show for making this all possible.

Nine months down, three to go.

I always had a hard time picturing nine months. It’s the last leg of the race, yet I remember the day I met the trainers back in July, and the anxiety I'd built up wanting to get the process started. It seemed like so far off. Since Day One I have had the attitude that I am the only one that can slow this down and to this point I feel pretty happy with my success. So let's just see into the numbers.





I want to first show my July 23, 2009 numbers:

Neck: 17.75
Arm: 19.25
Chest: 58
Waist: 64
Hip: 63
Thigh: 28.5
Calf: 19
Weight: 370





And here are my numbers as of April 19,2010:

Neck: 15.75
Arm: 15.75
Chest: 44
Waist: 42.25
Hip: 46
Thigh: 25.25
Calf: 17.25
Weight: 254

Total inches: 63.25
Total Weight: 116

So I tweeted that I had lost 73 inches, but I forgot that we added the Waist at its smallest point about three months into the measurements.I don’t have a day one measurement for that, but I have lost 10 inches in that spot since the three-month mark.

I FEEL GREAT BY THE WAY!

Is this where I wanted to be at nine months? Not exactly, I thought I would be about 20 pounds lighter, but that number doesn’t define all the work I have done and I won’t let it hinder my progress going forward.





OTHER BIG NEWS!

I announced this on the Dudley and Bob show this morning, and now it's time to say something about it on the blog. For the past 3 months I have been playing with the idea to become a personal trainer, and I am happy to say that I will be in the next 3 months. I am currently studying for the CPT exam through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. In the next couple of weeks I will have more information about where I will be training, and how you guys can come work with me if you are interested. I am really excited about this whole new direction for my life and it would have never happened if it weren’t for the great people I have spent my life with these past months. They have guided me in becoming a much better person than I ever was and to them I am forever grateful. The trainers at Workshop Fitness gave me my life back and now I would like to return the favor helping others reach their fitness goals.
