Time for a transformation!!!

For those of you who are keeping track we are 22 weeks into our pregnancy, and our daughter Rylee Claire Dobbs will be here in about 16 weeks! Isn’t that convenient that its just long enough for a transformation!

I know its hard for some people to understand that even Personal Trainers struggle with their weight, but its true! I have always been a big guy, and if I don’t watch my food I am a huge guy! And I’ll be upfront that here lately I have not been the best.

So here’s the deal. December 28th is day 1 week 1. My goal is to be 195 to 200 and be about 7 to 8 percent. That puts my weight loss at 35 pounds in 16 weeks.

I’ll be working out 6 days a week on a three day split, working the whole body twice a week with rest on Sunday. Short rest between supersets and triple sets keeping my resistance training sessions to 30 or 45 minutes followed by 30 to 45 minutes of cardio immediately after. Cardio is moderate intensity (70 to 80%).

As far as nutrition, I will be taking in between 6 and 7 meals. 45% protein, 35% carbs, 20% fats. No more than 30% meal replacements ( 2 shakes) and using a carb funnel throughout the day.

I’m going to use this blog to keep records of progress and of hurdles that I have to overcome during a transformation like this. The goal being fit and lean by the time my baby is born, and having good habits to share with my wife as she gets back into pre-baby shape asap (her words).

Here’s to being ripped in the new year!!!
