Update 6

Body fat is down 1.5% YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update 5

No change in weight as of yet. But I am getting stronger. April upped my weights today!
so now the measurements.... not much change yet i'm afraid. I've not been doing my part.

last time this time.
Hips- 43" again, 43"
Waist 32" again, 32" but i can feel muscle under the fat!
Under bust-33" i doubt this will ever change, still 33"
Bust-36" i got 38" probably miss measured, don't think working out makes boobs bigger
Upper arm- 12" staying solid at 12", but there is now just a hair of definition
Upper thigh- 23" again, this also stayed the same at 23", but once again, more definition.

so, i need to really buckle down, other wise this whole thing is a waste. I can run for 10 minutes now. And like I mentioned, I'm getting stronger. I'm sure the viewable aspects would be more apparent if i worked harder on my eating and non april work out days.

Update 4

omg! there is a muscle on my arm! a strongish one i can sorta flex!
it's the
brachioradialis (brachi, L: "upper arm"; radialis, L: "radius of the arm")
- obtains its name from its origin on the upper arm and its insertion on the radius
- flexes the forearm at the elbow

rock. i wonder what else is different on me! this is so exciting!

Update 3

Got sick and dizzy at the last session. I need to make sure I am properly fed before working out. I pretty much undid all the good I had done with my lazy weekend. So, something else for me to work on.

here are my measurements as taken by me. In a few weeks I'll post new one's and the difference between them

Hips- 43"
Waist 32"
Under bust-33"
Bust-36"
Upper arm- 12"
Upper thigh- 23"

Update 2

My body fat index is 31.2. April says it needs to be around 25 and according to her, it won't be that hard to achieve.

Also today I jogged 5 miles an hour for 2 minutes in 1 minute intervals. According to April, for someone who doesn't run, that's kinda a big deal.

I don't care if she's just trying to boost my confidence, I like it!

It was a really good work out today. I'm trying to do everything right and really push myself as hard as I can go. I felt/feel so good after that session.

I love it.

Update 1.1

According to an online quiz (not the end all of course):

The following results are for the Dietary Supplement Helper For Women

The combination of a multivitamin-multimineral, an additional calcium and magnesium supplement, an Omega 3 supplement, extra vitamin C, plus a B Complex will help you to maintain your health.

That is based on if I'm not taking anything right now.
So, Looks like the supplements I'm taking are just fine!

Update 1.

Okay, so I should have the results of my evaluation tomorrow. As soon as I get them I'll be sure to post them. That's my starting point. I have a professional to help me from that point on.

I can tell you that my poundage goal has been determined to be to lofty. I am to try for a 15 pound loss. That does not mean that I'm too keep all my fat. I'm to make it mostly muscle. So, only having too loose 15 verses 25-30 pounds seems alot more in my reach. Still, it will take a lot of work, now I'm looking at loosing pant sizes in stead of just fat. So, maybe by Christmas I'll be in a comfy size 10.
I'd like to be in a 8 by the end of January if its possible.

I wonder what I'd look like in a 6...probably too small. I think 8 will be good.

I'm more a Marilyn Monroe body than a twiggy anyway. why loose my curves?

So, tomorrow will both suck and be great. It will be hard, but man I look forward to it. I'm already sore from just trying out the machines.

I'm also supposed to keep a 7 day diet journal. I'll post that at the end of the 7 days along with the evaluation on that.

Plus I'm taking the following supplements:

I'm pretty much just taking these because I had them sitting around the house. Once I've finished with them (or just can't tell they are helping) I'll invest in a more complete multivitamin and discontinue the extras. Obviously I also need more fiber. I'll add that too later.
