Hi there! My name is Christine. I've come to realize that I have to truly do this for myself and no one else. I am listening to my body to get into shape and eat the right nutrition. I'm making sure I eat enough protein and healthy fats and keeping my carbs low. This is the plan. Its almost like the Belly Fat diet, but I'm not really doing any math or counting with this diet other than what I input into FatSecret. This is my plan, and so far its working. I'm also 36 years old and my goal is to fit into a size 10 by my birthday in December, which gives me ample amount of time to either hit my goal or surpass my goal of being in a size 10. So far my size 12's are loose! When I reach this goal by my birthday in December, I'm going to a store like BeBe and trying on some clothes that I've not been able to fit into since I was younger!! Also, I do not believe in scales. A scale for me is like that nagging person telling me what I'm putting into my mouth is bad for me. So...no scales. Only listening to my body and loving myself!

My work out regime is: BodyRock.tv, yoga, running, spinning, Pilates, and one or two classes of another workout at the gym like Active, Power, KickBoxing, etc. But the others are what I do on a normal basis and usually at home!

As of July 3, 2012, I see my arms are gaining good definition. My hips are becoming smaller. My thighs are losing inches. My stomach is getting flatter, just not a 6 pack, which I will get by December! My size 12's are very loose on me! And I'm getting super strong. All signs that what I'm doing is working out nicely for me!
