The Start of a New Begining!

So it is November 5th today, which is my half birthday, AND the day I start to change my life!!

I am ,by no means, overweight, i am actually pretty fit and always have been. I love living an active and healthy lifestyle, however I love indulging in (beer and chocolate) as well.   This isn't the start of a super inspiring weight loss journey, its the beginning of me toning up for good and creating the body I have always dreamed of having.  My references, meal plans, and workouts are all ones used by woman competing in figure competitions.  My current goal is not to compete, it is just to get a figure-competition worthy body.

Okay, so here is my short term goal (12 weeks) to be completed by Jan. 28

-To lose 15 lbs of fat and gain 5 lbs of lean muscle.
-To follow my nutrition plan by using strong willpower and inner strength.
-To follow my training routine.

I will check in every saturday with my progress.

Here are my starting stats.

Height: 5'8
Weight: 150 lbs
Waist. 28.5 inches
Hips: 40
Thigh: 23
Knee: 15.2
Calf: 15
Chest: 29.1

In the past I have given up because I don't see immediate results.  I know I am strong enough to achieve these goals, I will not give up and i WILL reach these goals by Jan. 28.


My long term goals to be achieved in 6 months (Fitness and Health Related Only)

I would love to weigh ideally 125 lbs and be very lean.
