Fitmas starts tomorrow!




I've joined Donloree's Fitmas Challenge and I'm ready to go!  This is a fitness challenge that runs from October 3 until Christmas.  Twelve weeks of weekly fitness challenges, and I'm planning to share those challenges and my results right here. 

To begin, we have some pics...





...taken today.

And measurements:
neck - 16"
chest - 45"
waist - 42"
hips - 52"
arm - 15"
thigh - 27"

And weight - 243.50

Hopefully in 12 weeks those numbers will ALL go down!

Another project that begins tomorrow is our Healthy Eating Challenge at the gym.  I'm really excited about this challenge!  Next Saturday we are going to the owner's house to sample some different healthy dishes.  Looking forward to trying some new foods and getting some new recipes.  We will be meeting weekly for support and weigh ins and to talk things over.  I think that will be key in helping all of us stay on track. 

I also got a Nike+ sensor yesterday and got to try it out today.  I love techy things, gadgets, and statistics and this covers all of those things.  Went for a 1 mile walk at the track today to calibrate it, and I can't wait to do a run/walk at the golf course trail.  I'm hoping by spring I'll be able to run a whole mile without stopping.  Right now, I can barely do 1 lap at the track.  Slowly but surely, I will get there!

Can't wait to see what my first Fitmas challenge will be tomorrow!
