Hello everyone…I’m pleased that I have all of my measurements done. Nick’s program, ‘Gluteus to the Maximus‘ has been a killer thigh/butt workout so far! I am loving it! I cannot wait to see the changes that my body will make in the next 6 weeks. You, too, should take a tape measure TODAY if you have not already, and jot down your measurements. This way you will know what you measure at today and then you can compare your progress as you go along…exciting, isn’t it!? Here are my measurements…

Waist: 29 1/4 ”
Butt: 39 1/4 ”
Thigh: 22 ”
Calve: 14 1/4 ”

At this moment I weigh: 124.21 lbs
My body fat% : 15%

I want to stress that I am not a ‘numbers’ girl. However, I do love a challenge! I don’t like to get too caught up on what the scale says. What is more important is your total body fat vs. lean muscle mass. This is the true indicator of a healthy body. You want your body fat % to be in a healthy range. I am already at a healthy range, but I do want to gain more muscle in my legs and a more defined look in my thighs. Basically I really want ‘rock solid’ legs! So there you have it. I’ve said what I want. Now what do you want? Be specific. Setting specific goals and intentions are crucial to your success.

I am following Nick’s advanced 10 minute home workout. I am incorporating his program into The Fit Chic that I have been following for over a year. I do the 10 min express workouts from the Fit Chic, so I only need to do 20 minutes of INTENSE weights 3X/week. It fits into my schedule perfectly. We all have different schedules…most of them being quite busy. That is why I love the option of doing a 10 min. workout from each program. Nick’s also has Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced workouts for the gym that are either 10 or 20 minutes in length. He has also modified his program to be done at home. So, there are NO EXCUSES for not being able to find 10 minutes to workout!

I am jotting down what I eat in my journal. This has been my savior. I know when I get my ‘cheat’ meal and I look forward to my reward like a little kid! I do not count calories. I eat 5 small meals a day and eat just enough to feel satisfied, not full. I find that my late night eating is much improved! I am sticking to a protein such as cottage cheese or some walnuts at night. Sometimes I’ll have an apple with a natural peanut butter spread on top. This really helps with my sugar cravings!

Good Luck with your program…take those measurements!

Cheers to health,
