This ain't pretty...

The numbers from my bootcamp Pre-assessment, I mean! Augh!

She pinched me all over with that little fat squeezer device and it came up with an ugly number! 30%!!! She did say that the margin of error was 3%...but that could also mean that it is 33%!! Not that I'm really all that surprised since my WW scale says I'm 28.something%, but still! So, my goal for bootcamp is to lower that by 4% over the 6 weeks. That would put me solidly in the "Fair" category. I've never really aimed for body fat loss so I'm not even sure 4% is a realistic goal...I guess we'll see!

Then came all the measurements. I can't believe I'm actually going to post these for the world to see! Yikes!

Shoulder: 39.5...got my daddy's broad ones :)
Chest: 36
Abdomen: 35...holy cow
Waist: 29
Hips: 41.5...I don't want to see any number in the 40's!
Thigh: 24.5...crazy that my thigh is almost as big as my waist! But, I've always had thunder thighs, no matter how small I've been, so that probably isn't going to change much!

My goal for inches is going to be to lose a total of 6 inches. I think that should be relatively easy. Or I HOPE it will be relatively easy :)

My confession: After eating fairly healthy yesterday, I had to run to the Whole Foods to pick up some greens for the bunny and ended up buying a huge cookie from Carol's Cookies. If you've never had one, they are enormous! My intent was to eat only half. Which I did. Until an hour later when I ate the other half :) Oops.
