Let The Games Begin - Keri's 6 Week Challenge Goals & Measurements

It begins tomorrow morning - officially.

My job for the next 6 weeks is to better my fitness level through nutrition and exercise. I've recruited my sister-in-law, Michelle; my lovely friend, Kelly; and my husband, John. They will be participating in this challenge with me over the next 6 weeks. And as long as they allow I will share their journeys also.

So, the idea is to establish a body composition goal for 6 weeks, bringing us straight to New Year's Eve. However, first we should take a look at where I am starting. I just got married, I say just but it has been 3 months already. I recently lost my job and have put back on some of that wedding weight I worked so hard to get off.

Keri's Starting Stats:
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 174
Chest: 38.5"
*Waist 1: 36"
*Waist 2: 31"
Hips: 44.5"
Bicep: 12.5"
Thigh: 26.5"
Calf: 14"

*Some of you may be confused about my having two waists. One is a measurement around the bellybutton. Two is a measurement around the small of the waist.

When I was thinking of a goal, I really thought of several things I wanted to accomplish:

• Workout a minimum of 5 times a week
• Burn at least 1,000 calories each workout
• Decrease my Waist 1 measurement to 34"
• Decrease my Junk In The Trunk to 42"
• And my MAIN GOAL - lose 12 pounds
