Last Journal Entry 13 for Months April 8-May 8

Sunday 4pm,

Well happy mothers day to all mothers (and future mothers)! It is also my dads birthday so double wammie! Today i got weighed and measured. On friday I have mentioned that I had not been following the meal plan very well. Coming into the measuring session I was sure I would hardly see any results. To my surprise there was progress. I started off weighing 142 lbs and 31% body fat (if i rememebr right). Today i weigh 140 have lost 4 inches and have lost 3% body fat. These are not huge numbers but to my trainer he said it is progress but I should work harder. I had been stressing the past three weeks because I started a new job and had longer hours and I was also trying to study for an AP test on top of doing boot camp. Being stressed causes me to eat and it did not go well.
Thankfully what I learned from this experience was how to be self motivated. I know it doesnt really change a person in a month but by week two I was kicking myself in the butt if I did not go exericse. I have also learned that it relieves my stress and if i eat healthier I stay more active. I have also tried working more on my expository writting technique and a little bit of E-prime. I have actually been focusing more on the writting techniques these past two weeks. I went into my AP test, almost writting a full essay in E-prime. I was proud of myself. =)
Now i hope to focus more on eating healthier and more writting techniques because I do not do well on essyas, writting techniques or grammer.

  6. I think it's awesome that you picked a project that affects you personally. Keep up the good work! Are you going to give this to the boot camp people so they can use it as a personal story?
