RevAbs Day 60 Progress Report: Round 2

Yesterday was Day 60 for me in my second round of RevAbs and I wanted to take a moment to share my results with you. Since this was my second round of RevAbs I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of doing Phase 1, 2 and 3 from the "Basic" version of the program, this time I'm doing Phase 2 and 3 of the "Basic" version and then Phase 3 from the "Deluxe" upgrade version (Phase 3 is the only difference between the two versions). So today was the end of Phase 3 from the "Basic" version.

For this round, I've currently lost 23.2lbs, 3.25" off of my waist and nearly 11" overall and my overall body fat % has dropped 7% from when I started this round. For my overall numbers since I started the program back on April 16, I've lost 93.3lbs, 12.75" off of my waist and nearly 49" overall and my body fat % has dropped 39% down to 20.9%. And now for the photo evidence, first off, the Day 60 comparison for this current round of RevAbs.




And here is a side by side progression look at the 60 day mark




And finally, a look at the overall progress from when I started... looks like I might have grew a bit taller thanks to my better posture now :-)

RevAbs Challenge Group Starts October 1


I've been leading a Challenge Group for a little over a couple of weeks now and I have to say that I'm absolutely loving it! The group consists of some friends that I've known from as little as one year to as many as four years, all of us are also musicians too. I'm so proud of how everyone in the group has committed to not only doing a workout routine, but also committed to healthier eating. And they're sticking to it! 

And while every one has been doing a great job, I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to Trent for the job he's been doing. Trent reminds me of myself in a lot of ways. First off, we're both big guys. We're about the same height and he started out at about the same weight that I did. After he completed the two week jump start program, he had lost over 16lbs and at least 8" overall!!!! But the thing that excites me the most about what Trent has been able to accomplish is that not only is eating better and smarter, he's actually enjoying the workouts AND he's gotten his family involved in the process. I have no doubt that Trent is going to be a Beachbody Success Story one day. In my mind, he already is.

So what that in mind, I'm going to be starting up another 90 Day RevAbs Challenge Group on Monday, October 1st. I realize that's a quick turnaround but I wasn't sure if I would be able to fit it in to my schedule. Well, yesterday I decided that I was going to make it fit into my schedule. So, if anyone is interested in signing up, I've got 5 slots available. Here's a link to the Challenge Pack you're going to need for the program.


Let's do this!

Behind The Scenes: The Making of the Progress Photo

So last night as I was reading through the various responses I got on my facebook page from the progress picture I posted yesterday I had an idea for another picture. A "making of" kind of picture. One that shows more of a "behind the scenes" look into what it took to make that progress photo from yesterday happen. And while there were lots of elements involved, it can basically be broken down into three things: RevAbs, Shakeology and hard work

#TransformationTuesday

I noticed a hashtag on Twitter today for #TransformationTuesday so I thought I'd put together a new Before and After shot to show what my transformation looks like after 5 months of my new lifestyle. So, here it is...
