WCCC’s Sebastian in the Morning is competing with Pete Lamoureux to lose weight. Pete is training with Carolyn Phillips, founder of The Body Firm, to beat Sebastian in the competition.

Keep track of the daily progress during the competition, and see what is going on in the minds of both Carolyn and Pete - the trainer and the trainee - during the competition.

October 18 - Wednesday

Carolyn

Pete is closing in on the end of his weight loss goal of 30 pounds. It would seem like an easy task given that he has lost 23 pounds in 9 1/2 weeks. Pete, as he confesses, is starting to revert to some of his old eating habits. I talked with Pete about the fact that it is not unusual to return to old habits. That’s why they are called habits.

It is important for people who are on a diet to realize that this return to past ways of using food improperly (meaning eating more than our body needs or choosing bad foods without thinking about the consequences) is a typical phase of what happens when going on a diet. On the other hand, if it is not something that a person is willing to change they will revert to their old lifestyle. It’s simple while complex.

If food starts to control the choices you make and you can’t stop over eating, I suggest it is important to start to think about why people overeat. Becoming conscious of our thoughts, moods, and choices is an important aspect of being successful with weight loss both temporarily and long term. It may not be just as simple as exercise and diet for some to lose weight and keep it off.

Pete

It was another spirited workout as I left in a big sweat. There was a lot of good dialogue to dissuade me from my old eating habits that are starting to manifest themselves. When you are in a situation like mine, you have to realize that good exercise is just one of the components to getting in shape and to ultimately achieving better health.

As I did my cardio today, I spent a good deal of time reflecting how hard that I have worked over the last nine and half weeks. I became focused on the task at hand: losing at least 7 more pounds. Yes, I cheated big time yesterday in the food department as I consumed 20 mozzarella sticks. However, I am determined to classify that as an isolated incident and to move on. I am eating out again tonight and I shall rise to the challenge of not indulging in the bad stuff.

October 16 - Monday

Pete

15 days to go in the diet competition with Sebastian and it appears that he has conceded. On the other hand, after a couple of detours, it's full speed ahead for me. Admittedly, I fell off the wagon this weekend with my eating habits. While I didn't succumb to the temptation of pizza or the golden arches, I did over indulge in cheese. I am the consummate cheese-aholic which is one of my main pitfalls. However, I counteracted that with some good exercise. All in all, I still dropped a half pound over the last 5 days when I thought that I had gained weight.

Carolyn put me through my paces today with a rigorous workout. I followed that up at home with 45 minutes of additional cardio. My goal remains to be 190 lbs. on Halloween. I have 7 pounds to go.

October 11 - Wednesday

Carolyn

Pete is down 2 1/2 more pounds, a total of 23. He has a little less than three weeks to achieve his goal of losing 30 pounds. This should be fairly easy to do, however Pete has been on a “diet plan” for 9 weeks and he is starting to feel, as most dieters do, like it is becoming harder to stay motivated. This is a phase that most people go through when trying to change mindset and lifestyle. People will naturally want to return to their old habits. If people (including Pete) have the ability to be patient and change their exercise and diet plan slowly (and most don’t) they generally will have long term success.

This is the time that having a trainer will pay off for Pete. We discuss ways to continue to stay motivated, re-evaluate his weight-loss success, talk about his main reasons for wanting to lose weight regarding his health overall, and we talk about how much better he feels. Having a positive support system is an essential component of being successful in all aspects of life.

Pete

We began the workout with a weigh-in. I was pleasantly surprised that I dropped 2 more pounds. At 197.5, I am down almost 25 pounds in nine weeks. It's not that I have cheated by eating bad foods recently. However, I have taken some liberties with my portion sizes. It just proves that if you work out consistently, your metabolism will change and you will lose weight. The objective is to drop an additional 7 pounds by Halloween.

The latest workout focused on legs, largely because I hurt my left forearm when exercising at home. I tried doing extra weight at home and I am paying the price. So, I am doing extra work this week in the cardio department. 4 more miles today on the treadmill which is my daily average. By resting my upper body, I should be ready to go by next week.

October 6 - Friday

Pete

I may lead Sebastian by 12 pounds in the weight loss competition, but the spirited workouts continue. Carolyn administered her TOUGHEST of the 19 workouts so far. You know the ol' adage....no pain, no gain! Well, I left the Body Firm today as an exhausted young man. Again, the weight was increased for the second set of reps for each of the exercises. At times, it was mighty difficult. Per usual, the workout concluded with a thorough set of stretches which is very important.

The diet continues to go well. I stunned several friends and colleagues at a benefit dinner last night by not finishing my filet mignon. Anybody who really knows me realizes that I could have eaten five of those steaks in one sitting as recently as two months ago. It's amazing how my mindset has changed. I'm going out to dinner three times this weekend and I am no longer concerned about indulgence.

Enjoy your weekend everybody and may the N.Y. Yankees suffer an early demise!

October 4 - Wednesday

Carolyn

Pete starts a new workout program today. It is important to change a workout program from time to time so that the body is being challenged. The initial program with clients should build core strength in the body and prepare the joints, muscles, and connective tissue to be able to start working with heavier weights. Pete has been faithful to his workouts and he is ready to start ascending sets. Ascending sets builds strength without injury and promotes better joint stability. This program will continue to strengthen his core, correct muscle imbalances, and build strength.

Pete

We achieved another milestone as I cracked the 200 lb. barrier at 199.5 officially. The loss is 20+ lbs. over a 51 day period. I give Carolyn a lot of credit for guiding my workout even though she was battling bronchitis.

The new strategy is to increase the weight in the second set of reps to try to build more muscle. This should also help in the weight loss process. When I got home, I hit the treadmill for 3 miles of walking in 45 minutes as I maintain an average pace of 4.0 MPH. The diet continues to go well with a new limit of 2,000 calories per day. Let's hope that Sebastian gets on the scale again at some point to renew the competition. I fear that he probably has thrown in the proverbial towel.

In any event, I watched the Mets for three hours and I did 12 pushups for every hour. The folks in the restaurant got a kick out of seeing Wallingford's most famous resident drop down on the floor to do the exercise!

September 29 - Friday

Pete

Today's session began with a weigh-in. The pleasant surprise was that I had dropped two more pounds since Monday to get down to 200.5. This represents a total loss of 19.5 lbs in 46 days. I was shocked because I had cheated a couple of times during this week. While not resorting to Mickey D's or a breakdown of similar proportion, I did deviate from my normal diet. Carolyn reaffirmed that the occasional cheat is permissible so long as: A) it only happens periodically; and B) the exercise routine remains constant.

Sebastian and I will have our weigh-in this Monday which you can hear on the ROCK at some point during the 7:00 hour. I am very pleased with the results thus far. However, I must concede that there is a long way to go until Halloween when our competition concludes. With three dinners out in three days, I will face a challenge. Having learned to eat lobster WITHOUT butter is a big help.

***Per a recent blog, I watched three hours of baseball tonight which meant another 30 pushups. (10 for every hour of TV consumption) These rewards systems are key!

September 25 - Monday

Carolyn

I am extremely satisfied with Pete’s 18 pound weight loss success in the last 6 weeks. I am very impressed with his commitment to his lifestyle change. Pete's success is a result of a mindset and a lifestyle change that he will be able to continue the rest of his life. We are adapting ways of eating, thinking, and working out that Pete likes and can maintain once he has reached his goal of losing 30 pounds. 95% of people regain weight because they return to their old habits. People generally pick a diet or exercise plan that can only be maintained for a short period of time because they choose programs that are too strict and not realistic for long term success.

Pete

The day started with some good news: I lost 3 pounds last week, bringing the grand total to 18 lbs. dropped in the last six weeks. While I don't take anything for granted, I realize that Sebastian is probably 8-10 pounds behind in "Connecticut's most famous diet." He cheats via his soft drinks while I remain steadfast in my approach. Yes, I eat the occasional pretzel for a snack, and I ate a couple of pasta meals with my Dad's world famous meatballs. However, I stay within the 1800 calorie/30 fat gram plan each and every day. I've stayed consistent with the workouts as well. Under Carolyn's strict supervision, I did 49 minutes of weights and stretching today. At home, I did an additional 50 minutes on the treadmill (as I watched a tape of yesterday's Dolphins' victory). 35 days to go in the contest: so far, so good!

September 21 - Thursday

Carolyn

I have been introducing calcium and magnesium to Pete. I wanted Pete to include this in his daily intake because I felt he was not getting enough in his regular nutritional habits.

Most people realize that calcium is important for bones and for the prevention of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a gradual loss of bone density which progresses the point where the bones are unable to withstand ordinary stresses. Symptoms include pain, increased susceptibility to fractures, dowager’s hump, and shortening of stature. Think of bone density as bone strength. By the time you are between the ages of 30-35, your bone density has reached its maximum. The denser your bones are, the better your chances of fending off osteoporosis. If you are approaching or have passed this magic age, don’t despair! It’s never too late to begin making dietary and life style changes that will help protect you from osteoporosis.

Pete

Another spirited workout today began with 12 pushups then another set of eight. It doesn't sound like a big deal, except for the fact that when we started, I could only do three. (Sebastian was in the same boat....he also could only do three when he started).

I have begun to do pushups at home as part of a rewards system. For example, when I am watching a sporting event, I challenge myself to do 10 pushups for every hour that I sit in front of the game. This is part of changing the overall mind set.....a very necessary component in the physical fitness/weight loss game. I face four challenges this weekend at four separate eating engagements. All of the restaurants offer tasty treats. I shall have to be very disciplined to combat temptation. Also, I plan to watch several hours of golf's biggest spectacle, the Ryder Cup. GO USA.....and lots of pushups!!

September 20 - Wednesday

Pete

After a day off from any physical activity, it was back to the exercise routine. I am really getting used to the ab crunches and some of the other exercises. Carolyn thought it was a good day in terms of effort and form.

Sensing that Sebastian is kicking it into another gear, it's no time to rest on our accomplishments. So, after working out with the weights for 55 minutes, I went home to do another 50 minutes on the treadmill. Your pace on the treadmill should be based on your heart rate. For example, for my weight and age, my heart rate should not exceed 130. Therefore, instead of walking briskly at 4.1 MPH, I had to scale it down initially to 3.4; that pace has increased to 3.7 since I am in a little better shape. In any event, I walked 3 miles on the treadmill. Another workout, including the dreaded pushups, will await me tomorrow.

September 18 - Monday

Pete

September 18th marked the second weigh-in between Sebastian and me. Once again, it was a resounding victory as the margin increased from 4 to 9 pounds. In actuality, my weight loss is 15 pounds through 5 weeks.

Again, we take nothing for granted as Carolyn put me through my paces. I'm up to two sets of (15) ab crunches which is an amazing increase since the start of the workouts three weeks ago. The diet continues to be a key component. While on the subject, I wanted to discuss an experiment that I conducted last Friday. I tracked the range of commercials during a TV broadcast of a major league baseball game. We always knew about the proliferation of fast food and beer commercials during televised sporting events. However, what I didn't realize was the extent of the saturation. Of the first (30) commercials over five innings, there were (15) fast food ads and five for beer. What does this mean? The obvious answer is that these companies are trying to inundate us with their commercials so as to almost brainwash us. It's no wonder that we've evolved into a society of overweight couch potatoes and drunken slobs. That's food for thought (pun intended) as you get ready to watch the Mets and the Yankees in their respective playoff series.

September 15 - Friday

Carolyn

Today we talked about Pete’s craving for fast food. Right now Pete lusts after the fried fish and fries. I told him to imagine himself picking food out of a dumpster. That’s the quality of fast food. Fast food is processed and is terrible for the digestive systems. If Pete can put a negative image in his mind regarding fast food it may help him to make better choices. If Pete doesn’t start to make better choices on a regular basis he could end up with heart disease, colon or kidney problems, or other related problems due to poor eating habits. I think it’s amazing that people would never dump diesel fuel into their car because it would destroy the car but there seems to be little concern that they are doing the exact same thing to their body when they consume these fast foods.

Pete

Three weeks in the books at The Body Firm and the results are amazing. Carolyn continues to lead me down the path to physical fitness. It was another spirited workout of just under an hour. Besides the weights and the pushups, the emphasis was on stretching. Again, I must reiterate that: if I can do it, anybody can do it!

I ate two lobsters for lunch and another 1/2 pound of cocktail shrimp for dinner with raisin bran for dessert. Here's the great part: I ate all of that scrumptious stuff and I am still losing weight! Sebastian admitted that a possible concession in our weight competition is forthcoming. However, I won't stop. My goal is to lose a minimum of 30 pounds by Halloween and I shall definitely achieve that with continued discipline and Carolyn's guidance.

While the weekend is upon us, I shall not take a day off. Tomorrow, before I broadcast my football game (1:30 on AM 1290), I shall walk around the track at the stadium for about 75 minutes. More exercise is on the horizon for Sunday.

September 13 - Wednesday

Pete

We are now two and half weeks into the program and the results continue to be astounding. I lead Sebastian in the weight loss competition, 14 pounds to 8. However, I am taking nothing for granted. I was allowed the one cheat meal of filet mignon and that was more than enough for this week. Sebastian erroneously remarked that he is enjoying his program more because he cheats more. Well, nothing could be further from the truth. I eat 30 jumbo cocktail shrimp every day: what could be better than that?

Carolyn continues to put me through some spirited workouts. The workouts of the last two days were the most rigorous so far. My range of motion continues to improve as does my wind. What's great about her routines is that you can sense the improvement without aching for days. Having a superior personal trainer combats and dispels the popular adage: no pain, no gain. I am now about to transfer my newly found physical fitness to the tennis court so I can avenge a couple of defeats at the hands of a good buddy. (it's too bad that I'm not competitive!)

Tomorrow is a day off from weight training so I may record my golf radio show in Massachusetts. However, I'll hit the treadmill extra hard and I'll be on the tennis court trying to recapture the magic of so long ago.

September 12 - Tuesday

Carolyn

I talked to Pete regarding how to start to put some “cheat” foods into his diet. I had to convince him that if he adds some foods that are considered forbidden on a typical diet he will still lose just as much weight. It is important for Pete to incorporate different foods that he craves so that when this diet is over he doesn’t go crazy. Pete’s old style of eating would be to unconsciously consume a whole large pizza (one of his favorite foods). Pete could not possibly be that hungry. He has created a bad habit of unconscious eating. If he cannot change the ways he eats and thinks about his diet on a regular basis, then he will just go back to his old habits. I put the challenge to Pete to pick a food he loves and eat a small portion of it.

September 11 - Monday

Weight today: 206 1/4
Total loss: 13 3/4!!!

Carolyn

I retested Pete’s body fat today along with his weigh-in. He has lost 4% body fat in since we started. Fantastic! It is not enough to just lose weight on the scale, it needs to be actual body fat. You can only know what changes are occurring from taking body fat, not just weighing in.

Pete needs to increase his lean muscle in order to be successful long term in his weight loss efforts and lifestyle changes. Here is the reason why: as we age, our muscles atrophy approximately 5 lbs. of muscle tissue every ten years. This is due to the aging process, poor nutritional habits, and lack of a resistance program. Five pounds of muscle is equal to burning or not burning 300 calories daily. The next time you hear someone say “my metabolism is slowing down as I get older” now you know one of the reasons why. If you start or maintain a weight training program along with nutrition, you'll be able to increase about 5 lbs. of muscle tissue in approximately 3 months to a year depending on your genetics and other factors.

Pete

Day 9: The day started with good news: I lost 3.75 pounds in the last week bringing the grand total to 14.75 pounds lost in the last 4 weeks. Suffice it to say, we can call Carolyn a miracle worker! My percentage of body fat has been reduced from 45 to 41. OK, we still have a lot of work to do. However, the progress has been very gratifying. We had a good workout today that included two sets of 15 ab crunches. At home, I did 40 minutes of work on the treadmill. I had a cheat meal which included 6 ounces of filet mignon (only 495 calories). As Carolyn says, a cheat meal once a week is necessary for the body and the mind. Plus, with no bernaise sauce on the meat, I still stayed within my caloric framework for the day.

September 8 - Friday

Carolyn

95% of the people who lose weight gain it back, plus more. Pete originally started out with a program that was all about diet and cardio. He has gained and lost many times in the past. I need Pete and all of my clients to understand the following simplified information regarding losing weight.

Phase 1:
Weight loss on many of the popular diet plans is about drastically reducing calories or carbohydrates. The weight loss is only temporary - you’re losing water, not fat. Every time you diet and regain the weight, it takes a toll on your body physically and mentally.

Phase 2:
After the initial weight loss, the body will begin to lose muscle. This weight loss is also temporary - you’re losing muscle, not fat.

Phase 3:
Reduced muscle means you’re burning fewer calories. Start a weight training program along with proper nutrition and you’ll be able to burn 300-600 calories more a day instead of starving yourself to lose weight! (Pete is working out 4 times with weights vs. Sebastian’s 2 days a week. I think this will give us an edge.)

Phase 4:
What happened to your will power with all this restriction? It’s not just lack of will power driving you to an uncontrollable food binge. Your brain has neurotransmitters that are trying to protect the body from starvation by driving you to crave sugar and fat for fuel storage.

Pete

Day 8: I am very encouraged as we continue to see real tangible progress. Carolyn increased my weights as I did bicep curls and hammer curls. My total of push ups has doubled in two short weeks. That fact amazed me because I had truly labored through them initially. I can also see a diametric change in my eating habits. I don't constantly crave fatty foods as I did just three weeks ago. Feeling lighter and stronger, I am trading the weights and treadmill for golf clubs for a day. We may actually pull out the driver tomorrow at the exclusive Country Club of Wilbraham in western Massachusetts. However, it will be back to the treadmill on Sunday.

One thing will remain constant throughout the weekend: my steadfast approach to a rigid diet. I remain adamant about resisting fats and sugars. My one cheat meal will be a filet mignon, sans bernaise sauce. (it's hardly cheating as I stay within the 30 fat gram limit for the day).

September 7 - Thursday

Carolyn

One of the things that has changed the most in the personal training industry in the past 10 years is the variety of training available. Training used to consist of weights and machines for strength and tone. Now there are many types of equipment to use to get into shape. Today I introduced some new training styles to Pete. We worked with a Pilates ring, a resist-a-ball, and the Pilates reformer. What I like best about all the variety is that it keeps the workouts more interesting.

After his workout today, I set Pete up with a therapeutic massage. This is the ideal time to have a massage because the muscles are warmed up from the workout. Along with stress reduction, a massage can help correct posture and range of motion issues, which are some of my goals with Pete while he's here over the next 10 weeks. We have teamed with a company called Spoil Me Spa to offer this service.

Pete

Day 7: It started with 15 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. Using that machine is a daily component in my exercise routine (later, I would walk for an additional 30 minutes). Today, Carolyn put me through my most difficult workout so far. Working on my triceps and my rotator cuff really burned. Now, I have a better appreciation when a baseball pitcher injures his shoulder and tries to come back.

After working out for a solid hour, I received a massage from Dorothy of the Spoil Me Spa (located right above the Body-Firm). As a result, I felt completely relaxed.

We're down another pound. That makes 12 pounds in 24 days. The momentum continues. Until tomorrow.........Go Dolphins! (the NFL kicks off tonight)

September 6 - Wednesday

Carolyn

I was on WCCC this morning with Sebastian. I think it went well. If I come across occasionally on air as being stumped, well, it’s probably because I am! I am pleased that I have this journal with Pete to be able to actually give the readers some information that pertains to fitness. The radio show seems to be a mix of information that might confuse the listeners as to what I really do with Pete.

I did not weight Pete today. The first phase of weight loss can be fast. I do not want to weigh in daily because that might discourage Pete mentally if he does not lose weight every time.

I can already see improvement in Pete’s stamina after 6 workouts. It doesn’t take long before a person can feel better from working out. Unfortunately, most people left to their own workouts will either workout too much, too little, or not do the right things. Pete is receiving such good results because I have assessed the type of program that is best for him. 11 pounds in 3 weeks and he is feeling better already!

Here are three other quick tips that are helping Pete in his weight loss efforts:

Pete

Day 6 of training with Carolyn consisted of a series of exercises ranging from ab crunches to sit ups, push ups, and various maneuvers on the machines. In addition to the exercises, I went though a variety of stretching techniques. As Carolyn emphasizes, the stretching is also vital to physical preservation.

Besides regimented physical activity, the proper diet is essential. It was another day of 30 fat grams and 1800 calories. With a wide array of fruits and veggies, I am able to consume about one pound of cocktail shrimp per day. This proves that eating can simultaneously be fun and non-fattening (one pound of shrimp has 400 calories and no fat, but be careful if you have high cholesterol.)

It should be noted that Carolyn authored a fantastic performance on the Sebastian show this morning. She was insightful and articulate as she navigated her way through Sebby's verbal mine field.

September 4 - Monday

Weight today: 209 3/4
Total loss: 10 1/4

Carolyn

Excellent job, Pete! 8 weeks to go and you are ahead of schedule. I made a few more changes in Pete’s diet. I added more foods into his meal plan. I changed his lunch from the shrimp and salad to chicken and green veggies and some salad. I told him that he needed more variety to give his body more nutrients and change up his meal plan from time to time to force his body to adapt to new foods, which will help ensure continued weight loss.

I will talk with you and Sebastian this Wednesday on air at 8am regarding all your progress!

Pete

Labor Day: It's day 5 of my workouts with Carolyn. As the saying goes: so far...so good! I must preface my writings by stating my background for those of you who do not listen to the Sebastian in the Morning show on WCCC. While I'm a decent athlete who competed well through my prep school days, the last 20+ years have seen me deteriorate into the classic couch potato. I needed a positive lifestyle change to improve my energy level and to ensure better health. Carolyn Phillips and her work at The Body Firm have been a welcome addition to my regular routine.

As a relative stranger to gyms and workout facilities, I must admit that I entered my first day with a certain trepidation. The sight of weights and machines intimidates the heck out of me. However, through her encouragement, Carolyn did a nice job of easing my tensions. She sports the perfect demeanor for her work: she is very supportive yet firm. A test revealed that my body fat was a staggering 45 %. Carolyn explained that it would take a combination of physical activity and diet to improve my morbid obesity. She recommended a diet and an exercise routine that have both been manageable. Through a combination of weights and cardiovascular training combined with better eating habits, the results have been immediate: I lost 4.75 pounds in the first week!

I will delve into the training and eating specifics as we progress. Sebastian and I have a diet competition that will last until Halloween. However, these lifestyle changes will last forever. We'll be back with more on Wednesday night.

August 31 - Thursday

Weight today: 211 1/4
Total loss: 8 3/4

Carolyn

I have Pete coming in 4 days a week to train on the weights and 5-6 days a week on the treadmill for walking. I think Sebastian is choosing to only work out two days a week on weights. I think this will give us an edge. Pete seems very motivated – at least for the short term.

This weekend is Labor Day. I talked with Pete about strategies for the holiday. Many people have a tendency to 'lose it' during the holidays because there is so much food around that they would not normally eat.

I’ll cross my fingers.

August 29 - Tuesday

Carolyn

Along with doing a weight training routine today, I will be performing 7 different fitness tests to determine some of the other areas we need to work on. I think we have some work ahead of us.

August 28 - Monday

Weight today: 213 3/4
Total loss: 6 1/4

Carolyn

I have several different aspects of fitness I need to address with Pete.

August 23 - Wednesday

Starting weight - 220

Carolyn

My first meeting with Pete and finding out about his fitness history and goals. This meeting will consist of getting to know Pete, taking fitness assessments, and reviewing his diet. I wanted to get started today, but Pete has a previous commitment and can not start until Monday, 5 days away.

I know my mission with this client is to lose 30 pounds in 10 weeks. This goal is important because he has committed himself to a competition with Sebastian. That equals an average losing of 3lbs. per week. That is definitely a goal that can be met if he commits himself and does what I outline for him. So my question is - what I get if you win? And here is my disclaimer...If you lose - it's not my fault!
