83.8 % Fat Free Baby!
The ‘BodPod’
Today I had an apointment to get a BodPod reading. I had heard of it and always wanted to have my body fat done with something accurate. I wore my bathing suit and a swim cap just like the picture (btw in case you can’t tell that is NOT me - like I would put a pic of myself in a bathing suit online). I sat in the ‘pod’ and then they pushed air inside. It literally took seconds. I ran through 3 ’sequences’ but it only took about 3 min total. It was really cool! I just had to sit still and breathe normally. I had it done at this place gym down the street from where I work (same place where my friend Cliff works out.)
Today also marked exactly the end of my 6-week body makeover. So - with that said, here are my stats!
6-week body makeover:
weight lost: 6 lbs. (my target)
current body fat: 16.2% (I am officially considered ‘ultra lean’ yea, right!)
fat mass: 20.5 lbs. (ALL of which is in my BUTT - 10 lbs. each butt cheek!!!!!! AAaarrrgghhhhh!!)
In other news I want so say HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all of my friends who ran the Cleveland Marathon (or half marathon or 10k) yesterday. Especially congrats. to Janet who is one of the toughest chicks I know.

Funny b/c I feel very wimpy after my pathetic showing! I can’t thank E and you enough for both of your support!!!!
That is awesome super lean girl. You totally don’t give yourself enough credit! You look super fit and the men would love your swimming suit shot. Now I need to get on this makeover band wagon!

That’s great. Females are typically higher than us males. I tend to retain my fat in my love handles.
Today is my first day of fasting. I’m going to try it out like every other month. I’m sure it’ll help recover my sore legs well. ha

With a 20 pound ass, it is no wonder you won’t post pics of you in a bathing suit…

Congrats! So, are you going to change your name to ‘ultra-lean squirrel’? Actually, ’skinny squirrel’ has a nice alliterative rhythm.
