It finally arrived!!!

(Note about the picture: I took one of my own, but something weird happened and it disappeared. So this is a subsitute picture from the interweb.)

I ordered Michael Thurmond’s Six Week Body Makeover last week after reading about it at The Fit Shack. I’m super excited to try it out! It was expensive (about $120) BUT you can get a full refund if you’re not satisfied after six weeks. It’s pretty cool–you take a quiz to determine your body type (you can take it for free online). I’m Type E: Ecto-Endo, which means I have a pretty high metabolism (true), but also tend to have more fat and less muscle. Basically, I’m skinny fat.

The program gives you a tailored eating plan (lots of protein for me) and exercise routine. My official start will be on Monday, May 5, which is also the day I being my marathon training program. That’s right–I registered for this year’s Marine Corps Marathon!!

I’ll be blogging about my six-week makeover journey, so stay tuned for weekly updates (and probably daily pleas for support and encouragement)…

This is what I wore to work today.

I really like wearing red–makes me feel more energetic! And here’s a close-up of my new black flats.

I’m really picky about flat shoes, but I loved these. Hooray for patent leather!
