Take 1, Cut 1...2007

[rocky_road]

Thanks, Bunnie!

I just came home a few hours from out of town visiting relatives. Didn't eat completely unhealthy except for one night of ice cream and chocolate coffee bean candy. I ate at least 2 egg whites every day and brought my own HiLo cereal for breakfast. Lots and lots of fruit salad every day--kept me full and out of complete junk food (for the most part).

This evening I had a killer upper body workout. I started out with 3 sets of breathing squats to help increase my rib cage (read it in a bodybuilding encyclopedia), followed by 3 reps, about 2 exercises each of lots of stuff- bis, tris, chest, back. Just tried to get a good workout in. Probobly should have done more reps and more exercises for less body parts but you know what? I don't care. Because I was feeling the burn.

Our bodies change to much to really know, but pictures can't lie.

Dude sure they can. Either in your favor or against. The tape measure cant though. If you're measuring your abdomen just make sure you measure it first thing every day, before you've eaten, to get consistent measures.

Want to decrease my bodyfat (22% by one person's caliper)....

From how many points did they make measurements, and who performed the test? Both those factors can make a huge difference in the numbers you get. You might want to make sure you get a trained person to do it to ensure you get a reasonably reliable baseline. I've had skinfold results vary as much as 3% from one tester to another on the same day.

Bunny and HidNGod...Are you sure? I definetely see your point, but I'm not sure I will ever look as good as I want to by not dieting. I at least want to diet down before going to college...kind of as a learning experience into my own body before I go ruin it lol. I want to learn how exactly food can make my body work because I feel like I can really make changes to my body if I stop eating some truly very unhealthy things here and there and not considering it as much as I would If I was "dieting".

Okay, I just changed my mind. I see what you mean. I'm already at a healthy weight; there is no need for me to "diet". I just shall pay more attention to what I eat. Thank you!

Mood/Thoughts: I'm preety optimistic! My mom surprised me this morning by telling me she's going on the South Beach Diet. We just cooked a healthy breakfast together and will be cooking a lot more together now. She commented that I've been eating this way for a long time now and understood how frustrated I must have been that no one else was. That made me preety happy, because it WAS often frustrating. I want to help her, and I hope to God she stays on track. It will help me, too, too have more healthy cooked meals around---ESPECIALLY dinner. Woohoo. Now I must go to the gym before the church crowd strolls in. Then, i'm meeting my mom at the grocery store.
