Brett's Shape Up Showdown

9lbs Down!!!

Hello everyone!! This past week was very interesting. I met my trainer, Lee Cohn. He is a pretty cool dude. I think I will have a lot of success with him. We started off doing a lot of cardio. Surprisingly I did not die, like I thought I would. I did things like walking the track, treadmill, exercisebike, and sit-ups just to name a few. I am looking forward to next week, to begin lifting weights, so I can get all buff!! My wife is looking forward to that,lol!!! Anyway I am maintaining this lifestyle change well, so please just continue to keep me and my family in prayer for continued strength and endurance.

First Week of Changes

Hello everyone!! My name is Brett Booker. I am 36 years old. My profession is truck driving that I have enjoyed for the last 14 years. I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. I finally started to see a break through in my mid-20's when I started losing weight with diet and excercise. But when my career started to take off, I was on the road, and anyone who has been a trucker, knows the life. It's eating all times of the day, unhealthy truckstop diners, and no time to excercise, so I started to see the weight come back, and it did with a vengence,lol!! Anywho.... Now life has brought me to this point. Never did I think I would be chosen for this opportunity.

So far, this week I have cut out sweets, sodas, and chips. Also watching my calorie intake, has been a little challenging, but I would tell anyone out there to get The Calorie King Counter,this little book has been a life saver for me. I  have started to excercise on my own, at least until I start the REAL work with the trainer.

I am really excited to be apart of the 2011 Shapeup Showdown. I also would like to tell the other participants, good luck, and lets begin the SHOWDOWN!!!!!!!
