So, I had started tracking my LiveFit Trainer progress in a page at the top of my blog, but decided I should start posting it in my normal feed. It will help me stay accountable for what I’m doing. :) Here are the past posts along with my newest post from today at the bottom. Enjoy!
December 2011
And so it begins. I’m embarking on another adventure and thought I’d chronicle it here.
The Jamie Eason LiveFit Trainer is a 12 week program very similar to the figure competition training I did during Summer 2011. It’s spans three months and includes daily meal suggestions and workouts broken into 3 phases. I’m really excited to start this and see what type of results I achieve. I’ll be chronicling my journey over the next few months on this page, adding updates when I see fit including photos and measurement information. For now, it’s off to bed to start the week off right.

It’s been a month since I started the Jamie Eason trainer. After the holiday’s I decided that I would start over on January 2 so I could really focus (snacks and desserts killed my diet). It’s still been hard since then and with SacFIT starting I had to add cardio back into my routine. Before I started this program I already had a lot of muscle built up. The way I see it, I want to start burning off fat. I’m not looking to get to any competition anytime soon so simply leaning down now and maintaining my muscle is my goal at this point. So I’ll continue with the lifting and the diet, but I’m adding back in some steady state cardio so I can get back to training shape with SacFIT.
I have really been enjoying the program though. The workouts are good and keep you in line. The diet has some really great new recipes that even my friends are eating! 
Overall, so far it’s been a great experience. Hopefully soon I can post some progress photos and measurements.

The LiveFit Trainer is going good. My only weakness right now has been the candy drawer right outside my office at work. Luckily I’ve been able to stay away from it today. It seems I just need to keep reminding myself of my ultimate goal and challenging myself to stick to it. Well, and the fact that if I want any candy, dessert, sweets, etc. I have to do 20 pushups on my toes before I can have it. :) Makes me think twice before diving in. :)

I’m in the first week of Phase 2 of the LiveFit trainer. It’s been a month and a half but I restarted midway through Phase 1 so I really had 6 weeks of Phase 1. I had Will (boyfriend) take my measurements and they weren’t as good as I’d hoped. Here’s a breakdown of where I started and where I am now:
Start of LiveFit trainer – December 18, 2011
Bodyfat – 25.5%
Weight – 155
Measurements – total measurements for 8 sites – 189.5
Start of Phase 2 of LiveFit trainer – February 2, 2012
Bodyfat – 26%
Weight – 155.5
Measurements – total measurements for 8 sites – 184.5
Overall I lost 5 inches which is great. My weight stayed about the same which is normal since I’m putting on tons of muscle and burning more fat. The annoying one is the bodyfat. I’ve been working so hard and to see that go up by 1/2 a percent is really annoying. But Will did mention that I may be retaining water which could make the pinch on the calipers a little more. We will see what it’s like when I start Phase 3.
The workouts are still going great. Getting back into SacFIT track/stair workouts this week was interesting. Had a great time running 1872 stairs with some of my buddies from our running group on Tuesday. I’m sure feeling that today, combined with the leg workout I did yesterday. I’m feeling like my body is getting into better shape but I sure can’t wait to start burning off some of that outer fat as I move into harder workouts.
How’s your training going? What are you doing to stay in shape? Happy training!
