The Nitty Gritty

One day, I WILL have this form!!

Or as I would prefer to say, the gritty nitty -- down to earth facts that need to be stated as I start this journey.  Knowing is half the battle, right?
((huffing and puffing under my breath. "I still don't know why I have to put this mess in writing -- as long as I know that's all that matters!"))

Okay, this is really beyond TMI, but a necessary evil to truly mark my success.

Day 1 (8/29/2011):

Beginning Weight (taken 8/29/11 at 7:00am):  192.4lbs
Put on a few pounds over the past week or so from dining out, but not a big worry.

Body Fat %:  Still need to get this done

BMI:  35.2

Measurements (taken 8/28/11 at 11:30p): 

• Chest:  33.5"
• Waist:  37"
• Hips:  47.5"
• Upper Arm:  13.5"
• Thigh:  29"
• Lower Leg:  15"

Current Sizes (as of 8/28/11 at 11pm):

• Bra:  34DDD
• Undies:  7-8
• Top:  10-12, or a Medium
• Dress:  14W (bottom fits, top is too big)
• Pants:  12W-16W, depending on brand/store, slacks or jeans
• Shoes:  8 (believe it or not, I was an 8.5)

Food/Water: 
Today has been a good day, but I see protein intake will take some serious monitoring, especially on weight training days.  Today, I feel I will be slightly under my target of 1.6g per 1k of body weight -- I need to get my shakes and bars TONIGHT!!!

Exercise:
Will do upper body training tonight using:

• Dumbbell Bench Press
• Wide-Grip Lat Pulldowns
• Lateral Raises
• Alternate Barbell Curls
• Seated Tricep Presses
• And some abs on the Total Gym

6 sets of reps at who knows what weight!  Urgh!

So there we have it.  The Nitty Gritty starting stats on Day 1 of the Body-for-LIFE 12-week Challenge. 

Let's go August 29 Challengers!!
