From Skinny Fat to Skinny Fit! I hope...

Husband and I are starting a new workout regime tomorrow morning BRIGHT and EARLY. I'm not so worried about staying committed to the 12 week program, as much as I am about getting up at the crack of dawn. We are talking 4 in the MORNING, people. I convinced husband to do it with me, but since we both don't enjoy working out at night and don't want to cut into our family time, I volunteered to get up early and do it together before he goes to work. Have I lost my mind?

I've been wanting to start strength training for a while now, and since I'm a big fan of fitness model Jamie Eason's, I decided I want to try her LiveFit Trainer program. The plan involves 3 phases of workouts, nutrition (meal/food suggestions), and supplements. Since I'm still eating plant based and want to keep things as natural as possible, I'll have to modify the nutrition part some and plan to skip the supplements all together. The thing I love about the workout part of the plan is that it tells me exactly what to do each day. If you ever wanted to start lifting weights and felt completely intimidated, you understand where I'm coming from. I also love that it's different almost every day. I don't have to follow along to a video (although there are videos to demonstrate moves you aren't familiar with) and I can work out while I listen to my own (husband approved) music. :)

Tomorrow is day 1. We're taking "before" photos and measurements tonight so we can track our progress. Say a little prayer that I make it out of bed. :/

In preparation of our new program, I cleaned up and organized our "home gym" today. It's in the basement, so don't judge our lack of feng shui or style. ;) It's functional, free, and we don't have to share sweaty machines with anyone else. 

These helpers demanded a photo. :)
