Hi my name is Christina. I am a former collegiate athlete and a physical therapy student. I haven't played soccer competatively in nearly a year now and I'm slowly getting more and more out of shape. I enjoy working out a lot but since it's no longer a manditory, scheduled activity it often falls last on my things to do. I didn't join this forum because I thought it will magically make me fit again, but I hope that keeping a daily journal and communicating with people who are obviously passionate about physcial fitness will encourage me to get back in the gym. So..here goes nothing..hopefully this works and I get my butt out to do some cardio and lifts.
I'm 5'6" and I used to be 135lbs but I'm now about 150lbs. yikes! Worse yet, my body fat percentage is nearly 25%. I realize that this isn't horrible but I know it's not what I want and I can do better. I used to determine my fitness level on how quickly I ran my 2 mile or my 100 yard sprints, now I would just like to trim down and tone up. I've entered the transformation contest because I am a very competative individual and I know that if anything will get me working out again it will be competition. By the end of the 8 weeks I would like to lose about an inch off of my waist and some fat off of my thighs as well as gain back some of the lost muscle tone all around. I will take measurements tomorrow and post those.

Well today was the first time I've really worked out in quite some time and I'm way more out of shape than I thought. I should be sore tomorrow..at least I hope so because as sick as it sounds I miss the feeling. Also, I took measurements today like I said I would and I have listed below. I am the largest I've ever been. BUT not to worry because I realized that I really can only get better from here. I think this competition will be good for me.
I haven't broken down what my workouts will look like yet so today was just something to get me started. I will have a more organized workout plan later..probably set up for 3 lifting days a week and cardio added on other days.
Today's workout:
Bench - 55lbs x 10, 65lbs x 10, 65lbs x 10, 75lbs x 10
BB Rows - 65lbs x 10 for 3 sets
BB Curl - 42.5lbs x 10, 42.5lbs x 9, 42.5lbs x 9 (odd weight for ez curl bar - 12.5lbs)
Shoulder Press - 42.5lbs x 10 for 3 sets
Triceps Kickbacks - 15lbs x 10 for 3 sets
Flat Bench Flies - 15lbs x 10 for 3 sets
Rear Delts - 15lbs x 10 for 3 sets
Crunches - 25 for 2 sets
I tried to work up a bit of a sweat by supersetting curls and press then supersetting flies, rear delts and kickbacks.
Today's Diet:
7am Slim Rite shake
9:45am Special K bar
12:45pm 6" ham & turkey with cheese and lettuce only from Subway and a small rootbeer :(
3:30pm banana
5pm can of tuna with cheese
7pm ground turkey with noodles and side of peas, milk to drink
32 oz Gatorade Rain throughout the day

Thanks! I hope so. I used to bench 85lbs for sets of 10 but I'm hoping that I can surpass that in a couple weeks or so.
