Surviving NJ

As you may have read, I pulled my hamstring, so my training will be a bit slower. My personal trainer was quick to point out I can still work on my upper body, while my lower body is healing!

Smiles go out to her, "Yes, I'm still going to work, now that I have my doctor's approval for that!"  As for my leg, it will be slow going on the treadmill for awhile, until I get better range of motion.

Anyway, many of you know I'm in the process to change my body. At 40 years old, I decided to finally get this extra weight off my body, and get healthy. With the New Year upon us, many others have decided to start that journey once again.

Discovery Channel does it well with their National Body Challenge. Here's the cool part; they'll be kicking off the event at four malls nationwide. One of the malls chosen is NJ's very own Short Hills Mall. If you're in NJ and you're interested in getting involved, here's what you'll find.

You can get weighed, get a fat analysis, get measured, along with other fun things. They'll be an opportunity to have a "milk moustache" picture taken. People from Bally Fitness will be there to get you motivated, along with the opportunity to save money at The Discovery Store.

Nope, wait...there's more. You can test your health and fitness knowledge, get goodies while supplies last, and load up on information. This is a really motivating way for you to get yourself ready to start your own program.

I've been working mine, and am now eating clean regularly. You know my trainer is working my body well, since I've lost over 25 inches so far! I'm hoping it will be even more next time I get measured.

Here's some more information for you: Register on site or online, and you can FREE access to a customized meal plan, activity tracker and more. Are you ready for this next piece of information I'm about to share? When you register, you'll also qualify for an 8 week membership to Bally Fitness! Come on, they're giving you someplace to work out, tons of info, helpful plans, and all you have to do is move.

If you're in NJ, head to the event for a great motivational start!
