I didn't really post a whole lot about it for the first couple of weeks because (classic Nicole) I was afraid of failure. When those first 2 pounds came off and I said, "You know, I might actually be able to do this," I decided to go public with the fact that we were giving it a try. Since I never blogged about it, or did much more than write a couple of facebook statuses about it, I'll reflect on it now.
We started back in January while Kerry was on his rotation in Marianna. We're not big on New Year's resolutions or anything, it was just a timing thing. Based on a little research, we picked up with the Lean version - mostly because it adds more cardio into the mix, and that's what I love to do! We also adopted a higher protein eating plan, and tried to get more veggies in the mix as well.
Keeping track of everything was the fun part. We took pictures the day before we started, at 30, 60, and now 90 days respectively. We measured at 30 days (because we forgot to at the start) and again at 90...and I was a little blown away with my results. Kerry wasn't really looking to lose weight so much as he was looking to bulk up a little and shed some flab. What flab? Ha...I've always thought he looked awesome myself ;)
I started out at a weight that I've been since 2006. I'm pretty good at maintaining...I credit that to a liking for running. Now, I'm at a number I haven't seen since my freshman year of college at Troy! 11 pounds may not be drastic like biggest loser numbers, or anything--but they're 11 pounds I won't miss! From day 30 to day 90 I shed 8 inches as well...and depending on the brand of pants, 2 pant sizes! Yay me!

We're not stopping here, though. We're taking a weekend off to relax and Monday we start Insanity with Shaun T. Gluttons for punishment? Maybe so. But to quote Tony Horton, "I hate it...but I love it."
