The Idea

So back on January 16th I started a 6 week program at a gym right by my house - like 4 minute walk close. (Which is great since I won't have to worry about getting there tonight during this "Snowquester" in the DC/Baltimore region....which as of now is drizzle...so glad every thing is closed, except work of course :)

So the premise of this program called "Evolution" was to jump-start the New Year on the right track. You go to hour long workouts 3x a week and get a suggested meal plan to follow each week.  The classes consist of cardio, weight training, stretching, HIIT, drills and more. I was really liking everything we tried in class, and doing my best to get ideas from the meal plan.  

At the half way point - we did a "pop-quiz" of sorts and had a mid-program weigh in. I found out at that point I had lost the most - 6lbs.  I decided to make the program my own personal contest - let my competitive streak out! I was going to be the "biggest loser" of the whole 6 weeks!

"Barbie Feet" from Monday's class..no I wasn't taking pics - I grabbed this from the gym's FB page.

Fast forward to the end of the program and the last day.  I was down 13.5 lbs!  I did "win"!! (Even if the contest was all in my head - and my prize was a cute new running jacket and a couple tops (size M...new territory!)

Monday started the 2nd round of Evolution classes.  This time it's 4 classes each week for 4 weeks.  And I got to thinking last night, I wonder if I could lose 30lbs by the time I am 30?

So, here I'll share my successes, failures and adventures along the way for the next 90+ day....eww, only 90-something days. Gross.

Edited to add: I tried a similar blog when I wanted to try to complete 27 things by the time I was 27...umm, I think I got about 50% of them done :)
