Wow... Ok so I'm on day 1. It's 10:30 am and I've already been up for 5 hours. Pretty unbelievable for a gal who could sleep forever and a day. I rolled out of bed and weighed myself first. Since this blog is all about accountability I do plan on sharing measurements, pictures (no head for now) and weight numbers. Even if no one ever reads this but myself - I want to know that something is keeping me held accountable.

You can still find it for cheaper on Amazon, or buy on Tracy’s own website here. –There are four different Metamorphosis DVD sets. Take Tracy’s quick online quiz to find out your body type so you know which set to buy. I’m apparently Omnicentric, which means I gain weight all over. Make Offer - Tracy Anderson Omnicentric Metamorphosis Continuity 9 Disc Lot Year 1 Muscular Tracy Anderson Method Metamorphosis by Tracy Omnicentric 4 DVD Set $35.00.

This morning I was 116.5. I've lost .7 pounds since last Saturday before even starting the workout. For the past 2 weeks I've been making a conscious effort to eat better and it's really been paying off. I'd say I probably lost a total of 2 pounds but more than the weight loss I just felt better. So that means I start 'metamorphing' at 116.5. After that it was workout time and boy were they tough! I did the Cardio first just so I could see how it was and get it over with. I've heard that Tracy's recommendations are:

• If you're trying to lose weight: do the mat work first then cardio second. You'll burn more fat off at the end of of your workout instead of the beginning
• If you just want to tone your body: do the cardio first and the mat work second allowing your muscle work to be the center of your workout

Now let me remind you that I come from a dance background. I took ballet, tap and jazz when I was younger, was a cheerleader for 4 years in high school and an arena football league, as well as a gymnast. And even I struggled with the dance cardio! But I love that I was doing it in my living room, by myself. I never once felt foolish or silly - which is pretty major since some women have expressed insecurities about this part. But it was hard. I only made it about 20 minutes of the full 30 minutes but I am going to chock that up as pretty good. It's a lot of jumping and a lot of movement. If you have weak knees this might not be the best choice for you. I know that was one of the complaints when I was doing my research. I personally didn't think it was that bad. I wasn't a major fan of the dance music that accompanied the DVD. Luckily [and smartly] there are options to do both Tracy talking and music or each by themselves. I plan on using her playlists on her site found here.
Next was the mat work. These are a series of muscular workouts done for 30 minutes often using just your own body weight or only 3 pound weights. This part was HARD. I did all of the exercises but I definitely didn't do all of the reps. Tracy's method involves working on your smaller accessory muscles so you're not bulking up and more toned. She also does all the exercises on the same side (meaning right leg does 4-5 different left lifts before switching to the left side) making that leg/side tired and exhausted (her purpose) And let me tell you - it's freaking tired all right. I mean I had pain in places I didn't even know could get pain. Then again... that is the point! I'm excited that you only do this set for 10 days before she switches things up. It's good to know that there will be something new and that it won't be monotonous.
Lastly let me get to the food. I'm sure if you're thinking about this workout or have it and are wanting to stick to the diet - let me say - it won't be easy. And that's an understatement. At this point I am still planning on following the diet as closely as possible. But I am going to be challenged to the max. My husband has decided to support me and do the diet with me though I am not sure that he will be able to follow as strictly since he will need much more caloric intake.
The first week is a Nutrient Boost week. In other words - this is a cleanse week. Each day I can eat 1 serving of the following: Power Juice, Blueberry Applesauce, Carrot Parsnip Puree, Sweet Potato Corn Pudding, Gazpacho, Veggie Protein Soup, Chocolate Pudding (hooray!) Most of these foods are blended in a food processor - which I don't quite get yet - and eaten almost like baby food. Our first experience with the power juice did not go over so well as the ingredients are: Kale, Beets, Spinach and 1/2 Apple. It wasn't so much the taste - but the texture. This was probably partly due to the fact that we used a blender and not a juicer. It was basically mush and not edible in the least. I am going to try it again tonight with an actual juicer and maybe add some orange juice or something to it so that the kale will actually be juiced. More on that to come....

I am a little worried about the diet being so low on everything including calories especially since there are body cleanses. It looks like this happens every other week and by week 10 Tracy starts introducing re-introducing regular diet so I am optimistic. For now.
Hopefully I can keep the momentum going tomorrow.. after all it will be day 2!

Am I ready??? – Preparation Weekend

This is my first ever blog, and my first ever ‘diet’ with Tracy Anderson. I am 37 years old, a ‘once upon a time athlete’, who is ready to take control of my body. My Tracy Anderson Omnicentric Kit arrived on Friday afternoon. Since then, I have spent the weekend preparing for my Monday morning kick off. Don’t most women start their diets on a Monday?

The box arrived and this is what it contained: 4 CDs. A Workout Tracker. Inspirational Letter from beautiful (don’t I want to look like her), Tracy. A ‘Let’s Get Started’ how to guide. They Dynamic Eating Plan. A tape measure.

I found the Tracy Anderson Method (TAM) Group on Facebook and started asking questions to the ‘TAM women as many call themselves. For example, “Hi, My name is Cindy TAM”. Their stories are inspirational. They are smart. They are encouraging and they LOVE Tracy!

I realized quickly, I needed a new pair of shoes. The recommended shoes are Nike Shox or Nike Air Max. The Air Max will work best for me, and were purchased in purple (the only color in the store).

Then, I purchased a scale. I have a scale. But, it is the old school kind with a dial, and if you place it on a rug it takes off a few lbs making you feel better if you are having a ‘fatty day’. I felt like if I was going to really do this, I need to be able to measure in exact lbs. I also wanted a scale that calculates percent body fat. I picked up the Brookstone Whole Body Scale, on sale for 49.95.

Now, the food. The DYNAMIC EATING PLAN. This isn’t so easy. Tracy writes in her Dynamic Eating Plan that there is no option but to follow her plan, to the letter T. No making changes, except for allergies. For now, I still don’t have any kale, chestnuts or parsnips. So, for the rest of my Sunday, I will be trying to purchase those 3 food items. I live in Upstate NY. There is no whole foods, and no Trader Joe’s.

Tonight, or this afternoon. I will start to prep some of my food. I have a food processor and a blender, but no juicer. I will take notes, and post anything that I think is helpful.
