OH SHIFT!!

Yes, exactly s-h-i-F-t.  As in shift in the scale.  I told trainer boy I didn't want to get on.  He did all my measurements and said get on anyway, and told me not to look.  I looked.  No movement.  Not a single half ounce in 12 weeks.  Are you FREAKING kidding me.  I was TICKED.  I did my workout and then was on the treadmill and trainer boy was giving me more crap about my diet and discipline.  The guy next to me said.  The scale moved it just shifted from fat to muscle.  Which is absolutely true because Ryan called me later that day with my body fat % and it had dropped 6 points.  That's a lot!  Yay me.  Then he threw down the gauntlet, he wants me down another 5 points by March 1st.

Where have I been since then...

Ok I'm back..If you are getting this post via email it's because I value you in my life and hopefully you will help keep me accountable. ...I realized my last post was on 7.11.11.  Whoa what happened to me? = life
Summary: Spudman was great.  I finished in just under three hours.  My goal for this year is to 'bury' that time. Not sure what that number is but I will figure it out.
I spent Aug-December gaining and loosing the same DANG 5lbs.  August and September I focused on biking and running the result was I did increase my average mph but my hip and bum started freaking out = alignment issues causing nerve and muscle spasms.  Begin stalking stage:  I promise I'm not a true stalker, but I kept running into this same girl. Darling, cute, petite, in awesome shape, girl. I figured out I had taken a few classes with her at Golds gym a few years ago, she is married to one of my dental clients, she has a child in kindergarten with my child, I would see her at the grocery store and pass her jogging on the road.  Finally, I thought OK she looks stinking HOT whatever she is 'doing' is working for her.  After a  few phone calls (I have my sources) I figured out her phone number.  I called and via a long introduction told her who I was, then told her she looked HOT and I wanted to know her secret. Lucky for me she was flattered and not freaked out.
She introduced me to Ryan at IMFIT.
He and his darling wife own a personal fitness gym in Layton.  After my first couple work-outs I couldn't walk nor could I raise my arms above my head.  Starting at the end of October meant sticking to a 'clean' diet and cardio and lifting routine throughout the holidays.  I did ok I didn't do great.  Brian decided to join me and we are making long term changes at our house.  Changes are happening slow but sure.  I'm measuring in a week and I will give you the status update.
