Here's my update photo for the week. I still really want to lose some in the midsection, butt and legs. But it's a BIG improvement from where I started.

Week 7: Body Composition

Weight: 150 (same)
Body Fat: 23.67% (down .30%)
LBM: 114.95 lbs
Chest: 7 mm (same)
Midaxilla (below armpit): 10 mm (same)
Abdomen: 24.5 mm (lost 1.5mm)
Suprailiac (diag. fold abv. hip bone): 18 mm (same)

All in all a pretty good week, for missing as many workouts as I did (with being sick). I'm just happy the weight stayed the same (and didn't go up). And I lost a little on the skinfold sites.

Great Reads w/ Great Recipes!

I got these books around Christmas time. They're packed with some great tips and recipes.

Working Out While Traveling

I'm thinking about getting this to help with lifting while we travel during the summer time and also winter break. It was advertised in my Oxygen magazine (which is by far the best fitness magazine out there). Also, they just came out with a magazine called Clean Eating. I recommend both.

My Bad-Ass New Phone (LOVE IT!)

I just got my new phone Friday. It's like the AT&T Tilt...only it doesn't have the tilting screen (it's their older model). I was getting tired of carrying around my pocket pc and my phone. So I upgraded to just one device. I love it! I can now log my meals in excel from my phone. And the best part...I still get my corporate discount from the bank so the phone only cost me 50 bucks.


Motivation: Phrase for the Week



I saw this phrase and really liked it. This is the mode I'm in right now. I want to shock everyone. Dean still tells me that I shock him each week with how much my body is changing. My current mood: motivated...just thought I'd pass some along.

I'm really happy with my progress this week. I'm also thinking about upping my calories by about 200-300 on the days that I lift (a 1200-1500 calorie deficit on those days is a little high).

Here's a pic to show a little of my progress. I wish I had a decent one that showed where I started. Oh well =)
