All good

Skin folds done, and I was pretty happy with the results. I took pictures and sent them to Richie, so will see what he thinks and what the next step is.

Leg day is a big one. I did biceps, abs and cardio after my skin folds, then back later tonight for legs. To be honest, I struggled tonight - it's Jodie's fault! She wasn't there to partner me! I managed well for the first 30 mins and then my energy plummeted. I suppose it's to be expecteed though. I feel better now I am relaxing in the warmth of the lounge room in my jammies :) I have a visitor parked beside me on the couch, snuggling up and purring. He can barely fit, but he manages :)

I am so busy that I am barely getting a chance to sit down and work. I did manage to get one program done today, but I did not get out to the cafe to do it! Tomorrow I will for SURE. It took from 7-10.30 getting skinfolds, etc done this morning, then when I got back, getting dressed in my suit and shoes and taking pics, then resizing and sending all the info to Richie, answering the odd email in between, and it was already 1pm. I then got the mail (and got my routine video, yippee, which I then had to take to get put onto dvd - Jodie's MIL to the rescue! I get to pick it up tomorrow, now that is service!), then went to have my nails done and eyebrows waxed. After that, groceries (again!), and finally home to cook up my sweet potato, eat, have an ebay coffee decaf (mmm, mmm), and then head off to the gym again. I was tired by this stage but I pushed through.

So, now here I sit, trying to catch up on some email and of course write this, my journal. Here's an interesting stat - I weigh 114.4 at present and 13.7% body fat by my calculations. When I started my first Body For Life Challenge in 2001, and keep in mind I had already been training for some time, I weighed 112lb, at 21% body fat. Nice change in body composition over the years :)

It was quite interesting at the supermarket today - I was in the express queue, and next to me was a very overweight lady. As I waited for the checkout girl to scan my items through, I took a look at what this lady had in her pile of groceries, and compared them to mine. I had sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli and salmon. She had, 2 trays of cakes, a loaf of bread, a rice dessert tub, a chocolate bar, and a food magazine. I looked at her body, looked at me. If I ever needed any convincing, it was right there...

On that note, I need to eat some veggies...have a great night everyone!
