Week 7?

I fell off the wagon last week since my parents were away so I had to feed myself, with sloppy joes, chili dogs, steak, and pop.

I'm at around 133 - 134 right now, so I've lost about 7 lbs in the past month and a half or so.

Right now the program that I have been doing has been really tough.

Here's what it's like right now:
  1. Cable squat twist (works obliques)
  2. Tricep overhead extension in bridge position
  3. One arm chest press in bridge position
  4. Knee Drives off bosu
  5. Bosu step-up bicep curl (start on knees)
  6. Reverse step off/lateral raise (bosu)
  7. Oblique bench dips
  8. Leg ups off bench
  9. V-Ups
Cardio: 1:1 intervals for 20 minutes or 30-40 minutes when I'm not doing the program.

I do these exercises in groups of three, three times.

The last 3 exercises are the most difficult, they don't involve any weights at all! A lot of it is core work, which I absolutely hate. I've gotten a lot better with my balance, so I don't hate the bosu as much. Since my 12 sessions are up at FW (going twice a week), I'll be going once a week.

In regards to food, I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I'm back to the veggies and fruits ... I felt like crap last week from the lack of healthy food.

Week 3,4,5


Here are the photos that I said that I would upload. Here is where I was at September 23/09, just after a few sessions at FW.



Here I am after 9 sessions with a trainer. I guess I shouldn't have stood so close to the mirror...


I can notice a few things about my body since I've started this: My arms aren't as big, my waist has shrunk a little bit. My legs aren't as big and I notice the stretch marks aren't stretching!! My stomach isn't as big as it was before, but my chest has gotten bigger.

I've changed my eating habits dramatically; I'm eating a lot more vegetables and I am trying really hard to eat less of the bad carbs.

My weight fluctuates from 137 to 134 on a weekly basis, which is better than weighing 140.

A lot of the exercises that I have been doing involve a lot of squats, lounges, dips, modified push ups, tricep rows and balancing on the bosu. I am also continuing with the 1:1 cardio training.
