Progress after first week
This week went all right. We hit some bumps while trying to figure out how to make the best of the weight set we have. Dumbbells would be nice... maybe we'll find a good deal on craigslist. One things for sure, our legs were VERY sore this week. We just hope it pays off! We'll try to be even better this coming week. We need to track our progress on paper and plan a little better.

Body for LIFE!
We finally picked up the Body for Life book and we have been reading it and for the past two days trying out some of the suggestions. We have been eating 6 times a day like it suggests, much much smaller portions, drinking lots of water, and we've begun our workouts! We almost died today during our first real 20 minute aerobic solution! It was great though. Our official starting date for the 12 week challange will be this Monday, the 6th of October and our week 12 will end on December 28th. We are very very excited to be doing this and want to share our progress and goals with you Adam, and whoever else eventually looks at this. That way we have just one more person we have to report to. Here it goes!
Goals for Jason:
36" vertical
reduce body fat to 14%
Run a mile in under 7:30
Be able to do 125 pushups in a row
6 pack Biceps fill a M shirt sleeves
Goals for Rebecca:
16% body fat
Run a mile in under 8:15
Be able to do 50 pushups in a row, man pushups
Max out on the bench at 120
Have a 6 pack
We wrote a few different things down for our reasons for doing this, but the main reason we want to do this is to have a more fulfilling life! We have already noticed that our bodies aren't what they used to be and we don't even have kids yet! (That was Becca's adage.) We want to be healthy and strong and be able to run around and have fun without getting tired. Here are some pictures from the bodyforlife.com site where we are getting some inspiration and motivation.
I (Becca) chose these pictures because I feel like they most accuratly show where we are now to what we want to be. Not enought of the women have 6 packs, that's a big goal for me. I would like to have stronger arms and legs than this girl though
