Getting Weighed and Measured!

I met with Mary Beth Gonzalez, co-owner and COO of AlaVie Fitness on Thursday, March 13, 2008. I weighed in (with clothes and shoes on) at a hefty 224.5 pounds. Well, it was LESS than I had thought....which is something to smile about!

The rest of my measurements, including body fat %...yuck....will be posted on the AlaVie website for all interested parties.

Mary Beth spoke with me about good food choices. She gave me two homework assignments:

1. Make a list of the 10 food/drink items that are my favorite "binge/cheat" goodies. She asked me to be very specific, i.e. the type of Ben and Jerry's ice cream or the menu item and the restaurant, or the exact type of "libation, i.e. Appletini from 'bar of choice".

2. Keep a daily food journal, which I need to send her every day! If I cheat at all, I need to send her updates with the "cheats" in red.

So, I am now ready to start my fitness journey this coming Monday, March 17, at 6 am! Be sure to check my blog again on Monday to see my new posting about my first day of PowerVie Boot Camp!

"Before" pics are on the way...stay tuned.
