I had an appointment with Antonio today and I was definitely not looking forward to it. I hadn't been to the gym since Saturday. I was fully prepared for a verbal beatdown and some physical torture. Instead, he realized that it had been a month since I started with him so it was time for some measuring. Ugh! I was not prepared for this! I've been bad lately too...didn't go to the gym for 3 days, drank a shit ton of beer at the Fresh Hop Ale Fest, ate chips and cheese from Taco Bell that night....bad news. So I was totally honest with him about my laziness and beer consumption. He got me all measured and wouldn't let me look at any of the numbers, then weighed me and checked my body fat. He told me the bad news first: my weight and body fat percentage hadn't changed. Then the good news: I lost 20 inches altogether!! From my whole bod, not just one specific part. Holy buckets, I couldn't believe it!! I really thought I wasn't making any progress and was starting to wonder why I was doing all this. Now I know why...and I'm SO excited to keep going! Now that I look back on this past month, I realize it's actually pretty easy. All I have to do is make the right choices and get off my butt. Of course that sounds easy enough...doing it is another story. However, I surprised myself and I did it. Still can't believe it...so awesome!
Tomorrow, I'm going to Costco with my favorite Arab, Khalid. He's a nutrition smarty, so he's going to help me pick out some healthy food and tell me what to do with it. It'll be fun! Then we're going to meet Anthony and our friend Will at Matador in Tacoma. Looking forward to a super fun good time tomorrow!

I'm on a weight loss mission. What I mean by that, is that I'm changing my life. Follow along as I experience the highs and lows of getting back into skinny jeans.

Way to go Julie! I'm really excited for you! I've been trying to do an hour of exercise about 5 days a week and it ain't easy! (mostly doing classes at the gym and once a week with our personal trainer) I always feel soooo good afterwards and keep reminding myself that if I keep this up and be careful about what I eat I'll see results soon. Your progress is so encouraging! Are your clothes feeling looser already? It's kind of hard to tell with things like your arms.
I need to go to the gym and get the fancy measurements so I have something to gauge myself with. Thanks again for keeping your blog up, it's good to know I'm not alone in my struggle to get/stay healthy.
