Week 10 Update
Halle-Frickn'-lujah
I did not have a great last week. I ended up gaining a pound and was pretty mad. I thought I was doing a great job with my intake, but clearly was taking liberties with food. I am not eating anything bad, I have not seen a cookie in 10 weeks, but have been eating too much of the good stuff. I made a commitment to myself to start tracking again which I did stop doing. Again, those trainers were right, tracking is the key! I need to remember that I have to think before I eat and know where I am calorie wise daily.
I found this pretty cool application for my iphone that allows you to track everything including fast food. I have spent a few hours putting in all the food I eat as calories, fat, protein and so on. It was a really good exercise to see what is in everything I cook. I am glad to announce that I dropped 4.5 pounds this week and could not be happier. I have finally broken that 20-pound mark and feel awesome!

Holy Depression Batman
Ok SO here comes bad attitude Jana. She does not show up often, but I am at the end of my rope today. I had my first weigh in where I did not lose any weight and in fact gained about a pound and ½.
WTF!!!!!
I have been so good not to over eat, not to eat anything terrible for me and to work out consistently and try really, really hard! I know my measurements have changed and I am more fit, but that scale looms in the corner like a viper ready to strike and when that scale bites, it hurts.
Julie and Brent from The Third Ward Fitness together are telling me I need to eat more. I now am supposed to consume 2000 calories a day. I am SOOOOO sick of being hungry and SOOOOO sick of eating! I am so mad right now. So my plan is to go home right now and cry for about 20 minutes and then come up with a new plan. (The crying will the most integral part of this.) Pass the tissues, please.
Jana out.

It's Working!!!!
FT's Brent and I did my 6 week fitness assessment on Friday and things are shaking out! My measurements have changed by 3 inches on my arms and waist and my legs have totally shrunk! I do no spend much time looking in the mirror (that is why may hair is always so messy) so I have not really seen a change in myself. But my friends and trainers are starting to tell me they see a difference. I am glad that they are are seeing it, even if I do not! I also finished my mile walk one minute faster than 6 weeks ago and my heart rate went down 8 beats per minute, so that means my heart is working more efficiently, that's pretty cool!
The thing I am most curious about are my medical stats. I am dying to know if my blood work has started to change. I have always been a very "inside" person and never really cared about the "outside", so the most important transformation I can make is to be healthy. I want to be around in 70 years to see if they actually do build a hover car.
