God Bless the designers at American Eagle. The new "boy fit" line they have come out with for this Spring fits me in a size 4. FOUR!!! Yah, I know---It's a false sense of achievement. I know I really wear a 6. But hey...anytime I can squeeze my booty into a 4, I'm a happy girl---no matter WHY it fits. Sadly, I wasn't crazy about the high-waistedness of the "boy fit" so I passed on buying any. Apparently--according to the sales girl they're meant to be worn in a "sag like a guy" which is why they run a little bigger and are a little higher waisted. Whatever. If I wanted the crotch of my pants to be hanging around my knees, I'd just borrow a pair of Matt's old jeans!
Anywho...I have had a fabulously succesful day so far. Demi sent me a wonderful note this morning that gave me an idea. I am going to start replacing lunch with a protein shake. I can't skip my breakfast and I can't skip my dinners...so lunch was the only feasible option for skippng. Today was my first day and I feel great! I had my shake at about noon and then I had a Pure protein bar (180 cal) and a small banana at 3:00.
I went to the gym this morning for my normal ball/core class and then 45 min. of Zumba. Just now Matt and I finished Core Syn. In all, I burned 853 calories today. I think if I can keep that up and substitute the shakes for my lunches...I could be on the way to my goal weight! Yay!
Of course..there is always a speedbump in the road. We are leaving in a couple of minutes to go to my parents house for dinner. I will really have to be careful of what I eat so I don't mess up all my hard work today. Wish me luck!

You will totally be fine! You're hard, dedicated fit gal!
I did my body fat using a tape measure..which I heard isn't as accurate as using calipers. I just ordered some calipers on BB, so hopefully they're somewhat accurate, I would hate to be dissapointed, lol. If you type in google "measure body fat online" there are actual calculators if you have a tape measure or calipers.
p.s. before I go out to family or friend dinners, I ALWAYS have a lo-cal protein shake. It will satiate me so I don't go overboard. Serve your portions on a small plate, so it will look full to whoever did the cooking, so they'll feel good too :).
OH-and I totally think you can still do WOWY without being a member..I'm not a 'FULL' member, even though I'm a coach, there are still places I can't go on the site..i.e. tony's corner, stuff like that. Which doesn't really bother me, I just want to do the WOWY! So, yes, you can create a free, regular account and still do WOWY.
Good Job Jen! You're definitely on the right track.
There are a lot of days, when I'm out working, that I only have a protein bar as my lunch. Or if I'm at home I will have a protein shake in place of either breakfast or lunch. It really does make a big difference.
oh, and congrats on the size 4!!!!!
