Bunns, I highly doubt you're unpinchable I think we are always overly critical of ourselves. All I can see right now is flab and lots o' it and came out surprised this morning that my numbers weren't dreadful.
SG, I'm not sure yet on the details of Miami. I assume South Beach...it's for a conference so we'll get the formal invitation in a few weeks. Either way, I want to be bathing suit ready.

As can be seen, my body is being reshaped and I am told this is what I want. I need the fat to redistribute more evenly as well. We took shoulder growth measurements today to track too and I need to try to bring out my shoulders to match my hips with my upper body workouts.
OMG, this is great, RT. You have no idea how this has spurred me on today - I am finding, especially this week when I need it, that you gals have inspired me so much.
Awww, thanks Mermaid! I tried to wake up at 5:30am today like you to do am cardio and miserably failed. I don't function before 6am well and I had to rush to get my bodyfat tested at 8am and still make it into work at a decent hour. I did promise myself I'd do cardio at night instead after weights and kept to my word. So you inspire me just as much as well

I just signed up for 20mins of boxing with a junior trainer today twice a week for the rest of the month. I am getting a little bored with cardio machines, so I'm looking forward to switching up my am cardio routine a little.
I posted the results yesterday along with my other stats. But I'm at 15.9% although I thought one of the five pinches on my back wasn't done right (on the high side) personally. I'm still okay with the overall number.
Will update to show damage done when I get home....TGIF!!
Edited to add:
I meant to have 2 glasses of wine, but it turned out to be more like 3 glasses of wine, 1 stoli vodka cocktail and then 1/2 a detour bar because I was starving. And this wasn't supposed to be cheat meal day unfortunately! GRR....I probably added 700-800cals more to my day
