There is one reason alone that I did not post yesterday. No one seems to go read blogs on the weekend. Okay, well, maybe it’s just mine. Or maybe everyone’s just out there enjoying the nice weather and actually living their lives. Interesting concept.

So yep…I’ve made it to week 2 of the 8 week transformation. I talked about this in my last post, but with the whole 8 week transformation thing, I don’t expect to look completely different and fit in just two months time. As long as I dedicate myself to this process, in 8 weeks I will have seen enough progress and made enough changes that I can continue on the path to success. I’m hoping that in six months time, my body will be completely resculpted. Back to the present—I decided that I am not allowed to look at myself naked in the mirror until I reach 100 pounds. But really, I should try to put  that shit off as long as possible, because I totally obsess over the stomach and butt. Yeah, I know that I said that I’d stop obsessing over my ass, but I still peek a little bit. Do I have enough self control to stop? Well, this week I won’t even have access to a full length mirror, so that helps. God, I am vain. 

Day 8 was the weigh in. Went better than I’d hoped, actually. I came in at 98.4 lbs and body fat was 14%.  I’ve gained 2 lbs but lost a little body fat. I know most people want to lose that body fat, but I’d be cool with a little extra. We all know why already. On Saturday night I did the recommended single leg deadlifts—-wow. Fantastic ass exercise. I’m still feelin that as I sit here and type this. I did end up doing Billy’s Ab Bootcamp that night, and it went well. Didn’t kill me like I thought it would. Oh, I definitely felt the burn, but I made it through most of it and I didn’t go into it thinking I would.

By the end of the 8 weeks, I think I want to make it to 105 pounds. That’s a very reasonable goal. The more I think of it though, I think my ultimate goal is going to be 110. We’ll see how 105 looks. In case you’re wondering, I’m 5′0.  Yes, I know I suck for not posting some pics. There are a few reasons for this. Main one being I am broke, in need of a camera, and so I rely on other people to take pictures of me.  Two—I am a little nervous about putting myself out there, even if I crop my face  out. This goes along with my next reason–I mentioned this earlier—I am vain. I want to feel like I look good if I’m going to have people looking at my pictures. So I’m not very excited about putting up pics of my puny arms and boney legs for just any person to stumble across. I want to be a “wow” picture, not a “hmmm” picture. Generally I am a person who doesn’t care what people think or say about me, because there’s not much you can do to stop that. So why give a shit what some random person online is thinking?  Sadly, I kinda sorta do. I guess any blogger does—that’s why we publish this stuff. We want people to read it and like it, and to come back.

I was showing my belly to my friend E, who I’m staying with for the week. We discussed the sad state of my belly button, and she compared my tummy to those old guys from the Muppet Show. Soooo…I’ve got a long way to go. That’s okay; it’s only week 2.
