Fitness Goals Part II

I wrote this goal back in mid September. I think it’s time for an update …

MY GOAL:
A six-pack by Christmas! And, of course, toned thighs, hips and butt too! (We are going to Hawaii in December and I want to wear a bikini without having anything bulging or wiggling if you know what I mean! HAHA)

Ok so I started working out with a trainer at the gym named Brian. He is great! I have met with him 3 days a week for the last 2 and a half months. My body has definitely changed! I have lost 12 pounds and all of my clothes are baggy on me! My arms are very defined and my stomach is hard!! YEA!!!

I have learned to eat really well too. Dean found a book written by a body builder named Tom Venuto. It’s called Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. I mentioned it to Brian and he said it is one of the best books you can read on body building and proper nutrition. (Way to go Dean!!)

I think my progress really inspired Dean. He is back at the gym now too! We are both eating really well. Dean is very supportive and encouraging; he calls me “six-pack”. How cute is that!! He’s the best.

I love going to the gym. I call it my second home. I go almost everyday (and about 4 to 5 days a week I go twice a day). Jenna and Staci have been my faithful gym partners. And they are both looking great!! Oh and Emily and Cheryl just recently joined too. Jenna and Staci want to do a triathalon with me and Jenna and Emily want to run a marathon next year. I told them I would do it with them if they really wanted to. I love that everyone around me wants to be healthy and strong!

At work I have inspired Rosanne to join a gym and I think she is going to get a personal trainer too! Barbara and Brenda are my running partners. It is so great to have friends who like to run as much as I do. We did some local races together in November. I will run one more race on December 17th just before we leave for Hawaii.

Here are some pics from the races in November …
