Jane's Journal

I am here ALL the time so I am going to keep a journal during the contest. My goal is to lose 15-20 lbs. This keeping track daily (or every other day or so) will help me keep track of my food intake (my downfall). Took measurements of waist, hips, and upper thighs.

-4-5 meals
-taking fish oil. I will also start to take a vitamin. I know I
should   
-water
-green tea

Meals look like this (for the most part)
B: egg whites with veggies/coffee
S: trail mix or scoop of protein--a protein  
L: usually brown rice/protein/vegetable
S: a scoop of protein+flax or nuts--a protein  
D: protein and veggies (sometimes a starch)

Today
--a lot of upper work using 20 lb dumbells, pushups
  sprints, jump rope did some bag work as well. A LOT OF
  CARDIO for today.    

Good idea. What are your measurements?

5'6" 125/ Bench: 115 / Front squat: 90 / Deadlift: 205 / Pullups: 10

waist 34 3/4 inches (measure over the belly button)
upper thigh 21 inches  
hips 35 1/4 inches (I am assumeing over hip bone).
 
Last time I weighed myself was a long time ago. I was at 138 lbs. I hate the scale so I am just gonna measure progress with the tape measure.

I hate the scale so I am just gonna measure progress with the tape measure.

That's a good idea. Weight doesn't mean much in the big picture. The tape will tell the truth.
