2013 The Year of Goal Accomlishment

So it has been a while since I have posted. The good news is I am still hitting the gym at least 5 days per week. I have been seeing great gains strength and definition wise. Weight wise I haven't lost any poundage but I am down between 6 and 8% body fat.
So goals have been set for this year. Since I have spent the past couple months building muscle, my goal is to get shredded and lose the body fat. I am set to steer clear of high fructose corn syrup ie no soda, and only whole grain bread. I don't know what my goal weight is but I do know that I want to be sub 12% body fat.
Motivation right now is pretty high because I am gearing up for a new program that is designed to burn the fat and develop lean muscle. I have seen some pretty awesome before and after photos of other people who have had great success with this program. Another tool that is motivating is that I am entering into Bodybuilding.com's 2013 $100,000 Transformation. This is an 84 day or 12 week competition that they put on where grand prize is $50,000 with supplement prizes, gym membership, all expenses paid trip, and video/photo shoot. The motivation is doing the contest and challenging myself to push past my goals. I also have a couple of friends, that make up our #GoGreen team (see Pic Below), that are also joining the contest. I am getting so much motivation from my friends and family as I keep getting compliments on the progress that I have already made. Thank you all for the support.
So what am I doing different for the next 12 weeks? Well I am starting a program by Jim Stoppani called 1-2-3 Lean which is going to kick my butt and I am looking forward to it. It is only a 6 week program so I am going to follow it up with either Jim's HIIT 100 program or his Six Weeks to Sick Arms. Which one will be determined by where I am after the first six weeks us up. I'm you want to know more about the programs check out Jim's website jimstoppani.com.
Meal wise I am going to be eating very lean with chicken breast, tuna, and lots of vegetables. Also going to be eating slow burning carbs and cutting out all the sugars and "white" carbs. Lower glycemic carbs are healthier and better for fat loss.
So my contest starts on Tuesday and I am really excited to see the results in 12 weeks. I plan on keeping you all updated along the way. If you want to know more about what I am doing either exercise wise or food wise leave a comment and I will expand more in my next post. Come back on Tuesday to see my contest before pictures. I will get them up as soon as I can. I am thinking of maybe doing a video blog in the future. Let me know what you think.
God bless
Travis
