What to do today:
- Determine what you would like to accomplish during the 12 weeks

- Take circumference measurements (bust, waist, abdomen, hips, & thigh)
- Have your body fat tested (most gyms have a handheld device to test)
- Take your before photos (front & back) in whatever clothes you prefer
What to do for the 12 weeks:
- Weigh in weekly (same day every week)
- Plan & cook your meals for the week on a set day (My day is Sunday) Schedule it!
- Plan your workouts for the week (there is a great plan here and here) Try to workout most days of the week: 5-6 days (no longer than 2 hours each day) Take a REST when you need it.
- Record your progress: weigh ins each week, circumference every 2 weeks, & body fat every 6 weeks
- Take a progress photo at the 6 & 12 week marks (your 12 week photo will be your “after” photo
- Log what you eat (if nutrition is an issue for you) seeing exactly what you are putting into your body can make a HUGE difference in your success rate
- Stay focused on your goals and have fun!!
