I came across this guys website the other day and what he is doing is incredible. For one year he decided to go from fit to fat to fit again. He is a personal trainer who wanted to better understand and relate to what his overweight clients go through. The best part of this is that he is completely documenting his experience. He is going to be listing his grocery lists, his workout regimen, and the best part is, he is modifying everything for you to be able to do it at home and follow along on his fat to fit journey.

How many excuses do you make on being healthy? It's too expensive, I don't go to a gym, it takes too much time, yada yada yada. Well this guys is not going to be shopping at whole foods and realistically shopping healthy costs the same as shopping unhealthy. For example, boxes DiGiorno pizza costs almost $10. I make a cauliflower pizza (yes the crust is made of fresh cauliflower and you couldn't tell the difference), and it costs me about $5.00 to make two pizzas filled with veggies and turkey pepperoni.

You claim a gym membership costs to much money, well lucky for you, you can do all the same workouts at home. Do you have a chair? Tricep Dips. Do you have a floor? Push ups. Hand weights are cheap. A medicine ball is cheap and so is a stability ball and bands. Pick some up, it's all you will need for resistance training.

Can't afford a personal trainer? Well lucky for you, this guys is providing you a free service. Describing EXACTLY what he is doing to get back to being in shape.

I'm like the rest of America, though I do eat really healthy and try not to eat out much because I actually love to cook. But I always say that I would be a lot more motivated if someone would do things for me. I don't have the time to plan everything out in my life, my meals, my workout and so now that I found someone who is just going to tell me what to do, I definitely plan on following along. I will let you know in six months how it went.

And we all know that motivation is the key to success so I found ways to motivate myself. I wrote out a list of things that I will get for myself when I reach my goals.

1. If I take my vitamins for 30 days in a row, I will buy myself a new pair of Uggs!
2. If I lose 5 lbs (the equivalent of feeling divine and fabulous in my current size 6 jeans), I will buy myself the Louis Vuitton I have had my eye on for months
3. If I work out 60 days in a row (yoga on rest days because it is not healthy for the body not to rest), I will buy myself the Ipad.
4. If I lose 20lbs (which I need too), and can fit back in my favorite Dolce Gabanna jeans, then I will buy myself the black lace tricot dress from American Apparel that I have been wanting for a year and didn't feel sexy enough to wear. The cheapest present and by far the most significant and motivational of all. I will wear this dress on new years! Mark my words!
