 I did body fat today. The numbers seemed a bit off, possibly from being a little dehydrated. I know I shouldn't have lost the muscle mass that it showed. I will check it again in 3 weeks but for now: 30.1% so down 1% in 3 weeks.

This week: I will be good on my diet! I figure if I have 3 really strict weeks, then I can relax a little through the holidays when I am down with family.

This week I did pretty good but could have done some things better, I didn't work out on Tuesday, and on Thursday I only did one workout. I need to be better at going to the gym no matter what.

This coming week being Thanksgiving week is going to be rough. I have already set up my plan: I am going to do 2 workouts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then take Thursday off while I am out of town and get in a good workout when I get back in town Friday night, and another good workout on Saturday! I will also try to log my food intake (the best I can) and keep to lower calories even on Thursday.

11/18

Today went about as planned. I had about 1500 calories. Not all healthy but I really tried to limit my intake. :) Now I just have to get through this coming week. I will do my weekly update tomorrow! We will see my results for the past week.

11/17

Awesome work out today! I love working out with friends that push me harder than I can push myself! Elaine, Todd, Jared and I did a little over an hour of weights, then 45 min of cardio! What a great start to a Saturday morning! Tomorrow I am having dinner at my brothers house.  I am going to stick to 1500 calories! It is going to be hard but I know I can do it. I also need to get a little more protein tomorrow than I did today.

I have my plan set up for next week! I am going to do 2 workouts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
