Chasing Pavements

I became pretty cool with my realtor from when I bought my house last summer. We still were keeping in touch and he was talking about how he was going to start a diet. Claims he lost 12 lbs the first week so I’m like sign me up. What’s a girl have to do??? Basically it’s 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fat. To determine how many calories I need, he told me I needed to have my body fat analysis done.

I called around to a couple of trainers and found out a local college offers the Bod Pod. The lady is explaining it to me and says, ” Now here’s the fun part.” You know that’s just not going to be good. You can wear a speed bathing suit or tight shorts and a sports bra. Oh and a speedo swimming cap. Are you serious??? Maybe I should just go on Biggest Loser for crying out loud. She swore the room is dimmly lit(lady not helping!) and it would only be me and her.

I show up and she is this super cute, super thin lady. Figures right? I’m wearing my sexy black bike shorts, pink sports bra and the best part - a RED swim cap. How this lady kept a straight face I just don’t know. Then I got to get into the giant spaceship looking egg..if I can figure out how to put pics on here, I’ll show you.

They do 2 readings and it tells you exactly what you are made up of. My results? Oh not pretty friend. I’m pretty sure it was 47% body fat and 53% lean muscle. Wow, oh wow. It told me that just to exsist, my body uses 1490 calories. Even though it was slightly humiliarting it was pretty cool to see exactly what you are made up of. Plus to know exactly how many calories you use is helpful. It only cost $25 bucks, so I think it’s worth doing. I plan on going back in a few months and checking my progress.

Ok, so I’m starting to think I’m slow and can’t figure out how to put in pics. I’m going to play around with it and I’ll add one later. Errrrrrr….
