This past month, I began riding my bike to work...a 6 mile round trip.
I tried biking about 3 years ago, when I was seriously out of shape and overweight and quickly gave up the effort. It was not only exhausting, it was impossible! Even to ride on a flat road....not to mention, hills of any kind!
But, this time around, after several sessions of AlaVie PowerVie Bootcamp...and a dramatic reduction in weight and inches, biking was easy! In fact, I even enjoyed it!
PowerVie Boot Camp is a wonderful, all-around conditioning fitness program. If you want great results....FAST....sign up!

Exciting NEW STATS! WOW!
As of this morning, I weigh 167 pounds! That is a total weight loss of 57.5 pounds since starting AlaVie PowerVie Boot Camp on March 17, 2008!
MORE EXCITING STATS:
Initial Lean Weight: 111.8
Current Lean Weight: 116.8
Initial Fat Weight: 112.7
Current Fat Weight: 54.2
Lean weight vs. fat weight is IMPORTANT. You want your lean muscle weight to be MUCH higher than your fat weight. Building muscle is key to continued weight loss and maintenance, as more lean muscle mass helps your body burn calories more efficiently. I am THRILLED with my results so far!
MORE EXCITING STATS:
Initial % of body fat: 50.2%
Current % of body fat: 31.7%
WOW! A reduction in 18.5% body fat since starting AlaVie PowerVie Boot Camp on March 17, 2008 - less than 3 months! The goal for a woman in my age group is to be in the low 20's. I am almost there!
Total inches lost: 24.5
I am so delighted with the AMAZING results! And, I feel terrific! I have lots of energy and feel strong and healthy!
I highly recommend PowerVie Boot Camp to anyone that wants terrific results in a short timeframe.

Good nutrition and A La Vie Boot Camp - The WINNING COMBINATION
The past several years, I have had very poor eating habits....lots of binging on high calorie carbos and sugar products.
Since beginning my new fitness for life program in March, I have combined my regular boot camp attendance with sound nutrition - a WINNING COMBINATION.
Mary Beth Gonzales, one of the co-owners of AlaVie Fitness, helped me structure a nutritional and yummy eating plan, which has been very easy to stick with.
The plan consists of fruits, vegetables, and proteins. I also eat whole grains. I try to stay away from any refined grain products, such as white flours, pastas, etc. Of course, I do eat those from time to time, as total elimination of these "desired" items, would not work well for me. In the long run, I would feel deprived, and probably end up eating too much of them! My plan is just to stick with my sensible plan 99.9% of the time, and then occasionally, have the "desired" item, in a sensible portion.
Since starting this program on March 17, 2008, I have found that my entire outlook on eating and food has changed for the better. I am aware of the food I put in my mouth and make much better choices. When I find myself reaching for that "thing I shouldn't eat", I catch myself...and 99.9% of the time, I decide NOT TO EAT IT. The other 1%, I take a small taste of whatever I want, but that's it! I seem to have lost the desire to stuff myself with food. Instead, I eat food when my body needs it and feed my body the type of foods it needs to feel strong and healthy.
Regular fitness, good nutrition, and GREAT RESULTS, are the motivating factors in sticking with my new lifestyle!
Since starting AlaVie PowerVie Boot Camp on March 17, 2008, I have lost 50 POUNDS! That's right! Today, I weighed in at 175 pounds!!

Starting Week 11 of Boot Camp Tomorrow and FEELING GREAT!
I have completed Week #10 of AlaVie's PowerVie Boot Camp - TWO 4 week sessions and TWO in-between 1 -week Booster Boot Camp sessions!
I weighed in at just 182 pounds this morning! Since March 17, when I weighed in at 224.5, I have lost about 42 pounds! WOW!!!
I am about 1/2 way to my Weight Loss Goal right now....in just 2.5 months! My goal weight is 140 pounds....so I have about 40 pounds to go! At this rate, I will be looking FABULOUS in no time! This program is absolutely WONDERFUL!
As I lose more weight and feel more energetic and capable, I would like to increase my ability to jog longer distances...and perhaps participate in a 5K or 10K event. When I was in shape (years ago!) I jogged in several of these events...Wharf to Wharf, Carosel to Coaster, SJ Mercury News race, and even twice in the Bay to Breakers! I look forward to the possibility of being fit enough to enjoy these types of athletic endeavors again!
Stay tuned for more progress postings!
