Day 1- Diagnostics

After a night of tossing and turning I started my 1st day of this fitness plan with a 3 1/2 mile run. Had a protein shake, worked and then met Brandon at the gym during lunch. Time for measurements. This is where I stand as of 19 July 10:

weight- 135

neck- 12in

chest-35in

waist-26in

hips- 39in (gag!)

arm- 8.5in

calf- 13in

After all of that measuring we did a heart rate and flexibility test. My resting heart rate was 64, my 1 min step test heart rate was 92 and my 1 min recovery heart rate was 68. Cardio is good! My sit and reach was past my toes which is good! He then built me a folder of my personal goals, stats (complete with graphs!) and my "plan". I go back to see him in 4 weeks for measurements to see where I am.

I didn't get a chance to do chest and back today so tomorrow will be double duty with that in the morning and legs/abs after work. Also I get to see what my bodies metabolic rate is. Meaning Brandon has a machine that will tell me how many calories my body naturally burns doing nothing so we can determine with my work outs and that just how many calories I should be eating each day in 6 small meals.

Alright, I've laid it all out there......Wish me luck!
