THE PACT!

Well to say this week has been stressful, upsetting and crazy would be the understatement of the day. To sum it up, work has been stressful, I got dumped because I screwed up royally without any intention to do so, and I feel completely directionless at the moment. I need to get my life in balance and that is going to take some time. To do so, I figured a baby step in the right direction was in order. So, Jacquie and I have made a pact. We've made a pact to better ourselves over the next 90 days. We are now workout buddies, accountability buddies and helping each other become better!

As part of this process we also decided to blog about it every day. The blog is to include our goals, a food diary, weekly weigh in, an account for the workout of the general thoughts about our process.

So what are my goals? 90 days of working out with Jacquie, eating better, cutting out soda (that is the toughest part), and cleaning house in my personal life. Over the course of the 90 days, we will be adding new goals but I'm gonna start there. In addition, we are going to try new things to challenge each other (like the terrifying Zumba class).

Day 1:
Food:
60 oz of water
Egg & bacon sandwich
8oz of orange juice
Salad and 5 meatballs with marinara sauce
Chicken nuggets and fries (I know, bad Ian!)
8oz unsweetened Iced tea

Workout:
30 minutes bike
Chest press 3x 12@ 130 lbs
Shoulder press 3x 12 @ 60 lbs
Angled chest flys 3x 12 @ 45 lbs
Seated rows 3x 10 @ 90lbs
100 Crunches
Stretching

By the end of things, I realized that I'm out of shape and need some major work. Yes, I wanted to quit several times. Fortunately, having Jacquie with me kept me motivated. I feel energized.

My hope is to reach the goal of losing 30 lbs by August 3rd. We shall see. I'll keep you posted!
