… after 4 weeks:

            -9.6” total overall

            -3.2 lbs/ 1.5 kg

            -1.7 %

Start:  172.4 @ 24.3% = 78.2 kg x .243 = 19.0 kg fat/ 59.2 kg LBM

Now:  169.2 @ 22.6% = 76.7 kg x .226 = 17.3 kg fat/ 59.4 kg LBM

So I need … (59.4 x 21.6)+370 = 1653 calories BMR

I don’t remember who that quote is from, but it’s not bad. Except that in the case of our dog … it’s the other way around. She’s gained weight because we are too busy working out in the gym! We’d noticed she was a little chubby after the winter, but who isn’t? Then we saw a picture of her taken a couple of weeks ago. She is fat! Our other dog is overweight too, but she already was when we rescued her, and has in fact lost some of that weight since we’ve had her. Probably from now eating healthy dog food and not table scraps (judging by her teeth and overweight, that’s what she had before). Still, she also needs to get some fat off of her muscles.

FRUSTRATION !!!

We’re invited to a wedding in a month. Fine. Should be nice, they’re having it out in the country, at a posh Inn. SO far so good.

I know my closet, I have nothing really appropriate for a “do” like that. We’re invited for 4 pm and there’s dinner and dance till late, so really I ought to have a shorter dress for the beginning and a long for the end … not practical. One solution, a dress with a staggered hem-line, both short and long at the same time. Or one mid-calf would be as good. Or a nice pants suit.

What do you do when you go from 170.6 to 171 lbs overnight? You panic, right? Yeah. I was turning over in my mind what I could have done wrong the previous day, checked to see if that time of the month again soon … then I saw my reflection in the mirror and cracked up!

 Yesterday, I had hung a silver chain around my neck, a necklace given me by my ex a few years ago (like 8?). It’s solid sterling silver and … heavy! There was my weight gain!

I’ve had a facelift. Well, not me personally, but my on-line training site http://www.trainwithsarah.com/ was given an update and a more professional look. The services are the same though

You tell me who you are, what you like and don’t like (food wise that is), when you can or prefer to work out, and I tailor a program just for you and your needs.

Of course, I will tell you what you need to change in order to achieve your goals, I will “pull your ears” from time to time if I have to; but you will always have me at an e-mails distance for any question you may have between the once weekly chek-ins, and all answers are made catering directly to you.

Someone asked which was the best breakfast cereal, on a forum I moderate.  There was some discussion back and forth, and then this one guy comes up with a name … amaranth. I got curious. Here’s the result of a little googling:

Scroll back to August 7th and compare to today’s workout:Flat Db fly25 lbs 12 reps

And so I remember what I wrote? No. So since the program decided against my posting and telling you some important and smart tips …

I hate computers!

I walked over to the pharmacy this morning. Not that I’m sick or anything, the post office is in the inner corner of the store and I needed to get the registration documents for my Xooma challenge off before the 10-day deadline after starting the challenge.

As I walked in, right inside the door, I saw a really pretty display. They’re good at that in this particular pharmacy by the way. 4-5 shelves, not crowded at all, just 3-4 products on each glass shelf depending on size, and a sign above it all. It was a well-known anti cellulite product, that thing’s been around since … well, I remember it from I was 15 and thought I needed it even though I had no cellulite! And it wasn’t new then, so at a guess 40 years or more.
