Some "Before" Pictures

Over the years I had some "up & downs" with weight.

In 2004 I was unemployed and gained a lot and on top of that I moved to the United States to be an AuPair. Of course I had to try all these "new" food and gained more.

2004

And then in the end of 2005 I moved to London and by then I already lost most of my fat due to healthy eating - I never really worked out.

2005

That was 5 years ago from today. I got married in 2007 and fit in a wonderful size 8 dress.

2007

Summer of 2009 we went to South France and I can tell I gained a little.

2009

Then in Fall 2009 I decided to take a "hike" from about 580 Miles with a 20 Pound backpack from the border France/ Spain all the way to the West Coast of Spain. Gained muscle and lost inches. And of course since I do not exercise I gained most of it back during Christmas time.

Fall 2009 - my spiritual hike through Spain

I started P90X in February 2010 and only made it for about 30 days, but lost inches and 2.5% BF. Now it is about time to get my second chance and "Bring it" 100% this time. I am so ready and I am so looking forward to it.

I will post before pictures next week with all the numbers and measurements :-)

Back in the game ...

In almost 2 weeks I will be pushing play again.

But this time I wont do it alone :-)

(I pushed "play" before but only made it the first 30 days)

My dear friend Christi and me will do the first 30 days together. I am so looking forward to it since this will be the first time I have someone in the same situation and we both want to make a change. Of course I will cook from the nutrition plan since she has all the kitchen supplies someone needs. (I have not seen my kitchen supplies since 6 month since I am still living out of a suitcase due to the move back to the United States)

This is going to be so good and I am guessing since we are depend on each other we will not fail.

I will keep this blog updated and hope to motivate others as well :-)
