Turbulence Training
Transformation Contest 2011...

Jami Drops 11 Pounds and Fits Back Into Her Favorite Little Black Dress With Turbulence Training

My Turbulence Training journey started with a particularly horrible picture
taken at a family party this fall.  I looked tired, out of shape, and worst of
all, I still looked as

though I was pregnant even though my youngest was now two years old.  I hated
the example I was setting for my children through poor eating habits and
spending most days feeling tired and worn out.  I've come a long ways in 6
weeks and already I can see the difference and improvements it's made in my
life and I feel so much better about what I'm teaching my children through the
better choices I am making.  

This first 6 weeks has been such a learning experience for me.  I was
surprised to find that the biggest help has been the support on the forum.
The support from other members has really helped kept me focused on the
program.  From seeing people's workouts to their food choices really helped me
put together my plans.  I've been working on my diet and trying to find a
balance of healthier eating that I can live with by tackling one bad habit at
a time and trying to add a new good habit.  Each week I've worked on
eliminating something that always seems to hold me back from my goals and
while I'm a long ways from perfect, I'm so happy with how far I've come.

For the last 2 years, my main workout has been spending 30-60 minutes on my
elliptical and seeing zero results.  Ditching my long slow cardio in favor of
Turbulence Training Workouts and fast intense intervals was the best thing
I've ever done.   As I don't really have access to a gym, I loved that there
are workouts I could do from home, without a lot of expensive equipment.  

I also really enjoy I'm not doing the same workout every day and that every 4
weeks it's another new set of workouts.  I've been doing the Booty for Wife 12
week workout and while the title has a funny name, the workouts are no joke!
Every workout I try to do something a little better than the last even it if
is only one more rep or a slightly faster finishing time.  I am getting
results that I can see and results that I never thought I could have unless I
spent hours in the gym.  

My 6 week results:

Height:  5'8"

Age:  34
Current Weight: 135 starting: 146 (-11lbs)
Chest: 32.5" starting 33" (-.5 in)
waist at smallest part: 27" starting 29" (-2 in)
waist at belly button: 31" starting 33" (-2 in)
hips: 37.5" starting 39.5" (-2 in)
thighs at the widest: 21.5" starting 23" -(1.5 in
bicep:11" no change

I'm pretty excited about my results so far and can't wait to see what the next
six weeks brings. My highlight of the contest so far has been fitting into my
favorite little black dress that I haven't been able to wear in years.  It was
such a wonderful feeling knowing that not only did it fit, but I looked and
felt great wearing it.  I simply can't believe how far I've come.

This is the first time in my life I can honestly say I've consistently
exercised this long without getting frustrated and quitting.  And even better,
I am getting great results that others are starting to see and it is so fun to
know that the hard work is paying off.  I'm very excited to see what the next
6 weeks brings and looking forward to meeting all the challenges to get there
in the best shape of my life.
