Sept. 20th Just Starting...

HEY!!! Don't forget, I am looking to coach few clients as I progress though my training! Check out the Genesis website, www.genesistransformaton.com and contact me if you or anyone you know is interested!

Here I am the first days as a Genesis Transformation client. As a new client, and periodically through out the process, it is necessary to have front and back view pictures taken. What a strange experience. I knew the photos were only an assessment tool for my coach and were going into a personal file but I felt so self conscious and vulnerable. Another tool is the scale. I have avoided scales for the last few years so getting used to weighing myself each morning has been a practice. My weight when I started the Genesis program was 130 pounds. I did not start with any goals regarding my weight, but I did want to improve my posture, strengthen my core muscles and build muscle definition in my arms and legs. I thought I was eating a healthy, balanced diet. As it turns out, I was getting about 35% of my diet from fat and only 15% of my diet from protein. So for my first couple weeks of fueling, the initial phase of Genesis, my daily caloric intake was 2300 calories with 24% coming from protein, 56% carbohydrates and 20% fat. It did not take long for my body and my head to start reacting and and recognizing the habits I had been ignoring for years...
