ok so it’s almost feburary, yay!! I am so excited about moving in August (it can’t get here fast enough). I am really proud of myself for sticking to my program. I feel stronger and lighter.  The fat that I have been accumulating for the past 2 years is finally melting (i’ve lost about 3-6 lbs) I love lifting and want more, more, more!! I would really like a workout partner though.  My dad was going with me for a just a couple of times, but he’s not really into it. I am wondering if any of my 8 bb.com friends have any advice on obtaining a workout partner. If so, I’d love to hear any suggestions. 

I’m staying on track, but I have to say I was disappointed about a week and a half ago. I’ve been changing my eating habits and exercise habits; essentially going from a sedentary calorie-craving couch potato to an active calorie-concious bb wannabe .  Unfortunately I hadn’t seen much progress. I hadn’t lost any weight in even a month!! I used that as an excuse to binge for a couple of days. I am back on track and working harder.  I have to keep thinking that it didn’t take me a month to put on almost 40 lbs, so I can’t take it off in a month…. but c’mon not 1lb lighter and my clothes were still fitting the same?!?!? Anyway, I’m over it and just looking to the future instead of dwelling on the past.  I’m upping my cardio, doing it in the morning on an empty stomach (or in the afternoon 3-4 hours after a meal).  I'’m still training 3 days a week, following the transformation guide posted on this site.  It’s pretty much how my old trainer and I trained so I’m glad its familiar.  I alreday feel stronger and a bit more confident.  I love going to the gym and training.  I do, however, still need to get a little more confidence in the weight room.  I need a partner, and usually if my dad doesn’t come with me, I limit my workout for fear of doing the exercises incorrectly or being embarressed in front of all the guys.  I’ll get over it eventually, but until then I am going to continue to kick ass and chart my progress (I’m weighing in on January 17th).
