I have posted my pictures, now it is time to get my butt in gear.

I am leaving in a couple of hours to spend most of thanksgiving week either, fishing on Lake Amistad (M-W) or doing family things on my in-laws ranch in Central Texas. (W-F). I will be home and back to my own gym Friday night.

In the mean time it is eating clean on the road and in the boat, with a hotel room, BW workout in the mix. 8 hours of standing and casting burns lots of calories so I think this is a good start.

This is what I am doing as my workout.
ON THE ROAD WORKOUT:
50 Jumping Jacks/60 seconds High Knees/50 Jumping Jacks

10-20 Push Ups/60 second plank/10-20 Push Ups

50 Body Weight Squats/60 seconds Squat Jumps/50 Body Weight Squats

25 Eagle Sit Ups/60 seconds Ground Runners/25 Eagle Sit Ups

REST 90 seconds

50 Reverse Lunges (per leg)/60 seconds 180 Twists/50 Reverse Lunges (per leg)

10 Under the Fence Push Ups/60 seconds Push Up/10 Under the Fence Push Ups

20 Burpees/60 seconds Jacks/20 Burpees

25 Alternating Leg Raises/60 seconds Crunches/25 Alternating Leg Raises

Good Luck Y'all.

Tuesday I have a surgical consult for my right shoulder, it has a partial tear in my rotator cuff tendon. So it basically means lots of cardio and some lifting... ugh.. this will truly test my nutrition aspects...

pics and measurements will be done tonight. good luck ladies and gents

[MsClickClick]

I am posting my pics today blah blah blah not looking for to it but I NEED A HUGE REALITY CHECK I need to really stop fooking around.
Over the course of the past few months ALOT HAS HAPPEND I got wrongfully terminated and now have a law suit, relocated twice, got married, and got a step son who dosent speak any English at all. I am wanting to change careers but don't know what yet because I want that passion I had to be excited to go to work.. And so far that's only with my photography business! www.thephysiqueempire.com

Now I am married to a Nationally Qualified Bodybuilder and he motivates me a lot too! And helps me also. So I am ready to really do this and step back on track!!!

My goals for this contest are to lose a min of 20 pounds! and fit in to a pair of American Eagle Jeans that I can not button up! I know most of this weight will come from my mid section but that's a great thing for me to be more proportionate! LETS GO

[DEEETS]

No turning back now, pics posted!

[Free Weight Friedel]

I will not start tracking your posts, until next week, once the Final List of Contestants is determined (based on who submits start pictures). Please read the posting requirements in the OP. If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Guys,

I've taken my pics and am on my way with the diet and exercise routine. I'm just tryin to get up to 50 posts so I can put up the pics. I'm not happy with them but hopefully it will motivate me.

measurements

when we are taking the bicep measurement is it in the flex position?
Actually do we have a link of some kind how to take them , I'm not 100% sure about how to take the hip and waist ??? >.<

Can someone answer this question? I'm assuming the measurement should be taken in a relaxed state, as noted in the how to video in the Bodyspace tracking section.

It's awesome to see so many people put themselves out there and to want to better themselves. I'm feeling really good getting back into the gym. I'm going to love to see the baby weight disappear and see my muscles again lol
