Turbulence Training Competition Video

Today is the final day of the second Turbulence Training Competition by Craig Ballantyne and I JUST put the finishing touches on my first time-lapse video ever. Phew – talk about getting it in just under the wire!

Craig posted the video contest idea on the TT forums and placed a link to Adam Waters: RTP-Blog 2.0 84 Days in 48 Seconds video for inspiration. Being a big fan of both TT and RTP, I decided to go for it!

My video covers two 12-week TT contest periods in which I lost a total of 11.5lbs (10% of my bodyweight) and finally got into the bodyfat % teens using solely Turbulence Training Workouts and recreational activities like biking, yoga and jogging.

Although I didn’t start Turbulence Training until January 1, 2008, I included a picture of myself from April 2007 when I weighed approximately 125lbs at 5′1″ tall. This was a very difficult picture for me to include. Although I’m smiling in the photo, I absolutely hated the way I looked and felt.

I wish I could say that was the uppermost limit of my weight gain, but I went on to pack on another estimated 5lbs. I say “estimated” because I stopped weighing myself or taking pictures at that point out of shame, as I continued to outgrow my clothing. But I do remember the breaking point clearly in August 2007 when I looked at myself in the mirror from behind and saw that I had rolls of back fat! That’s when I started my journey to lose the 30 pounds that eventually led me to Turbulence Training.

Thank you Debbie and Suzette! Getting the pics timed to the music was a bear! Still a little off but passable.
