My Thoughts:
Feeling pretty good today. Did a mid-week scale check and am down 1 lb (138), which means I have 1 more to go by Sunday. I can do it. I'm hitting it hard on upper tonight at the gym. I really want to get my arms more toned.

Eric might have to play on the men's softball team tonight, so we are getting Subway for dinner and hitting the gym after the game. Thankfully the game is at 6 (over by 7) and close to our house and the gym.

My evening was completey crashed at the gym... We were talking to a guy that works there and I was asking about body fat. They had a caliper and so I told them to figure mine. The guy who does it was busy, so I went ahead and workout, then found him after my workout. He used a caliper and measured 9 areas on my body then did this mathematical equation and figured out I had 47% body fat. I was floored. I think its closer to the thrities, but even still. Damn. I wanted to cry even though I knew he was off. (I hope!) He told me it was accurate b/c his ex-wife was built just like me and was at 49%. :( Anway, he told me he could get me down to 17% body fat in 10 weeks. This guy is huge into body building and has been since he was very young. ESP*N used to sponsor him even. His plan is the following:

Meals - 4/Day
Breakfast - Egg Whites/Beaters & a Starch (Most likely hash browns)
Lunch - Salad w/ any veggies, chicken, and LF or FF Dressing
Snack - Protein Shake (EAS ready made are fine, if you use myoplex powder only do 1/2 and he gave me another drink to try today)
Dinner - Any Meat, Potato or Little Rice, & Steamed Veggies

Workout -
Cardio - 20 Min. 6 x week (Treadmill, Eliptical, Bike, Stepper)
Total Body - Twice a week

With Total Body, I should do stuff in couples w/ no resting in between similar musle groups at 2 Sets x 15 each. (ie. leg press, glutes, leg press, glutes - done; thighs - inner, outer, inner, outer - done)

I definitely know I'm not getting enough cardio in, so I know kicking that up will definitely help. I already eat 5 small meals a day and that should be fine. Basically I need to lose the body fat before I can actually start building more muscle. He knows I don't want to buff up though. He said after the 10 weeks then I can start eating differently and changing stuff up. I'm going to try it for one week and see how it makes me feel.
