THE FINISH LINE!

Okay okay okay....obviously I suck and one of the things I definitely DIDNT learn from this program was how to be timely :)  I finished the Jamie Eason 12 Week Live Fit Trainer 2 weeks ago and I actually already miss the regimen.  I have still been incorporating what I learned thru the program but I think the most important thing I learned about myself was that I actually can accomplish a goal.  12 weeks seemed so intimidating at first and I have mentioned many times before that I thank Karrin for her brilliant idea of blogging throughout the process for keeping me accountable and motivated.  She was right...AGAIN! I would absolutely reccomend this regimen to anyone and everyone! I am stronger in body and mind....my determination and personal drive have enhanced in all areas of my life.  I am more confident in the gym as well as other challenging environments.  In the beginning, I would even think about going into a gym on my own...leading myself in a workout....now I am fully capable, knowledgeable and proud to rock a workout on my own.  Dont get me wrong though....I harass people to go with me all the time! But the only thing missing from my life now is the fear that I felt in that situation.  My confidence has risen and I am proud that is one of the benefits that came out of this process.  Not only that...but I am REALLY FREAKIN STRONG NOW TOO! :)  My body truly conformed to the weightlifting aspect of this regimen.  I am one tough cookie now and I truly love it! Yep...I might just be one of those dorky people who flexs in the mirror now!!!!! LOL!  I continued to struggle with the calorie intake part of the regimen and that is something I will continue to work on.  I didnt shed as much as I wanted to either...but I am not beating myself up sooooo bad.  This was such an amazing experience and I guarantee I will go thru this program again.  I have already chosen a new program to follow which is strict just like this one was...only its only 4 weeks.  Going to see if this one will trigger some different physical changes.  Overall I lost inches in my belly, butt and legs and gained an inch in my arms.  My weight fluctuated slightly but I ended up weighing the same as when I started.  Who knows....this may just be the body that I am stuck with but I will have fun working it hard and challenging my different muscle groups.  I took before and after pics and you can't see HUGE changes but hopefully enough to make you think that this wasnt a complete waste of my time :) 

Thanks EVERYONE for the amazing support you gave me thru this program!
