When I Started:

Goals:
Main Goal:
Transform My Body
Goal (Overall):
Tone up what I have gained while deployed and strengthen my core
Goal (Long):
I want a six pack, bigger calves, my shirt sleeves to be tight around my arms and a tan. The tan might be the only difficult goal to acheive being that I am currently in Afghanistan and laying out is not possible on a military base.
Weight Goal:
I want to LOSE 5 lb

18%

Well, after your last, what, year...you deserve a party or three. Just make sure you put in your gym time no matter what. Should you need extra motivation, I can help. Now where did I put that cattle prod?? Lol! Just a little morning humor for you!

Tick..tock..tick. Not too much time left on the clock over there! Bet you'll be amazed how much faster you make gains once you have different food choices available. I didn't want to believe it because I was unwilling to really take diet into account (for years..yes, I'm stubborn). Once I wrapped my head around the concept and made changes. POOF! It was like magic....Who woulda thunk it?? Lol! Happy to be your friend!

Hey...you're almost home. Good. That's a nice way to start the new year. I imagine it's much easier to hit those training goals when you're here. Wishing you the best in 2010!
