I'm bringing Jamie Back...YEAH!

It has been a while...I've had so much going on between work/workout/work/getting prepared for school/life that I just haven't had 30 minutes to myself to write!  I don't like that! This will be the last blog I have until after my final measurements on Friday, April 20th. I will then be on my own for 2 weeks until I start the next phase of my training.  This 5 Week Metabolic Challenge has been a "jumpstart" for what I want my lifestyle to be moving forward.  I have made some very big changes in my daily habits, workouts, and eating.  It hasn't been easy, and I've definitely been sore, but it has been worth it.

Last Friday I found out that I had lost 2.2% bodyfat in 3.5 weeks.  That is a lot.  I still haven't seen any real weight loss, but I am not letting it get me down.  I know that there have been some inches lost throughout this time, and I am going to keep on working at this after this Friday.  I guess I just can't seem to get too hung up on that number on the scale right now.  Is it frustrating, yes, but I can see other changes.  I don't want to wear a size 16 for the rest of my life, so I am going to keep working at this no matter what.

For the second week in a row I have had my high games at bowling.  Still going to attribute this to everything I have been doing at Go.  I bowled a 151 and a 152, and I had 2 Turkeys during that time.  I feel stronger, and more stable when I am bowling.  I am hoping for similar scores again this week.  I just want to stay steady at this time.

Another big change for me is that when I do burpees or other jumping movements at the gym, I have to pull up my pants!  Yes, even the spandex ones.  They start to fall down during workouts, so I think that is a plus, too.

This Friday will bring a lot of news that I am definitely both looking forward to and very afraid of.  I just need to know that my friends and family are behind me to finish this journey after this coming Friday - regardless of where I stand.  I know it took me almost a full year to put the weight on, and it could take just as long to take it off.  I just know that I do want this, and I want to bring the sexy back for Jamie Back.  Thank you for reading this much...I promise to keep writing more.
