My January Jump Start Final

Today is the last day of the 30-Day January Jump Start Challenge and I'm pushing through on 4.5 hours of sleep.

I have to say that this month was kind of a roller coaster. With the way I've been feeling, being out of alignment and getting and adjustment (taking a few days completely off), plus going on vacation at the very end... I didn't lose much of anything. I feel a little stronger, but with all this extra inflammation in my body and with everything else going on my results are not amazing. More disappointing than anything.

I don't have much to lose either - just trying to tighten and tone - so results can come slower and when I figure in all these other factors it's no wonder I only lost a quarter inch. Honestly, last week I was probably smaller.

I will not give up. I'm going to continue to exercise and be consistent with my works. Need to work more on my diet and upping veggie intake and water again. Trying to stay positive and work through this injury, so that I can come away from it healthy and strong.

Jen won the office challenge. She entered the Tempo Torso/Floor portion of Tempo Lower Body category and lost 19.75 inches!!! Now, that is amazing. Congrats Jen!

My January Jump Start 30-Day Challenge

That's me half asleep this morning before my workout.

I started my own 30-Day January Jump Start T-Tapp Challenge! Technically I can't win the challenge because I'm T-Tapp staff, but I can join in on the fun and consistency challenge. I took more photos - full length front, left, right and back - too. Will share them all on February 15th to show my progress!

The prize is SO sweet this year too!!! Winners get a chance to attend the first ever Beauty Boot Camp Retreat hosted by Teresa Tapp herself at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa in the spring of 2010 with less than 20 people (closed to the public).

Once I got to the office the rest of the staff wanted to join the challenge too! So I took everyone's photos and Lauren took their measurements. Then, the best part, Teresa decided to allow the staff winner to come to a few workouts during the Beauty Boot Camp Retreat. How cool is that?!

Here are today's measurements:

I'm a Long Torso/Short Leg body type (Rib-Hip: 6"; Hip-Knee: 18"; Knee-Ankle: 15"). Learn Your T-Tapp Body Type!

Entered into the T-Tapp MORE category.

Wish me luck!

Bright and Early

I got up around 6am to start my day bright and early. Today is the start of the 30-Day January Jump Start T-Tapp Challenge!

I had a massage appointment with Margie at 8am and we had plans to workout before my massage at her office. She has a whole wall of mirrors and TV/DVD player. It worked out perfectly!

T-Tapp's January Jump Start Challenge Begins on the 15th!

On January 15th we're starting our
30-Day January Jump Start T-Tapp Challenge.

Are you ready to get fit in the New Year? We thought this would be a great way to help everyone start 2010 off with a bang! We all make New Years resolutions of health and fitness goals to reach and I think this challenge is the perfect outlet to make that happen.

The best part of this challenge is the prize for winners (and also the results you'll get from 30 days of T-Tapp)! The winners (1 Grand Prize Winner and 1 Winner from each Category) will be invited to attend the first ever Beauty Boot Camp Retreat at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa in the Spring of 2010. This Retreat will be very special because it's closed to the general public and will be less than 20 T-Tappers. That means the winners will get a lot of one-on-one attention to help increase your results and understanding of the T-Tapp program. All winners will attend the Retreat for free. In addition, T-Tapp will also pay for the Grand Prize Winner's airfare (Category Winners must pay for their own airfare)!

5. T-Tapp into fitness!

I plan on joining this challenge myself (even though I can't enter to win since I work at T-Tapp) and do my own photos and measurements next Friday to track my progress over 30 days. With my rehabilitation concerns (as a result of my recent accident) I'll have to stick to the T-Tapp MORE category. I think it will be interesting to see how that little rehab workout changes my body on it's own.

Bonne chance!
