DEXA Scan Body Comp Analysis Results (Tiny Glow Fat Loss Challenge Starting Numbers)
My body composition analysis on Friday was performed using incredibly accurate technology known as DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry). I had this done back in August 2009 as well, so I got to see the effect my behaviors of the last five months had on my body composition. Going beyond the basic number on the scale to [...]

I knew I needed to get in a workout today, but I wasn’t sure how until M suggested riding our bikes down to the central branch of the town library (he had ulterior book-related motives, but never mind that)! It was 4.6 miles each way, and we had a few minor adventures getting there and [...]

Friday, February 5, 2010
Over the past few days, I’ve directed many of my non-working hours toward preparing for my upcoming challenge, which begins on Monday! Part of this includes keeping up with my current calorie-counting and fitness routine, as well as making forays into areas I’ll be exploring more as part of my challenge. I ordered my copy [...]

Thursday, February 4, 2010
As I was driving to boot camp last night, I experienced an unspecified feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I kept flashing back to my Challenge manifesto-of-sorts and thinking “Was I on crack at the time I posted that?” (Answer, for those interested: No.) My brain started doing the frantic cat-in-a-bag clawing [...]

From the official website, here are some of the components of their challenge: 8 weeks of workouts [...]

Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Today’s weigh-in revealed a loss of 2.5 lbs this past week! I’m so relieved that the scale isn’t stuck for good, and I think that the two boot camp sessions I participated in (Saturday and last night) helped nudge the number down. My total weight-loss so far is 36.5 lbs. Let me pause for a [...]

Saturday, January 30, 2010
Today I came across some notes I jotted down during the first week of my weight-loss effort, and I wanted to share some thoughts I had on Day One (September 15, 2009) here: I really believe that I will do this. I have to do this. Being 80 lbs overweight might not put me squarely [...]

Looking back at yesterday’s post, I’m glad you guys didn’t write me off as a total drama queen. On the face of it, all that happened was that I gained a single pound. I’m glad you were able to look a little deeper than the surface and offer such kind and helpful comments, because as [...]
