\nAfter writing the below post I debated about posting it, but here goes nothing…<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nGuess what — yours truly doesn’t own a scale, never have and probably never will.  I can typically tell when I’ve gained or lost weight by the way my pants fit.  <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSo why don’t I own a scale? Because it lies, okay not really but probably because I would weigh myself everyday. You know what I’m talking about. I also avoid the gym scale like the plague.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWell things are about to change and no I’m not buying a scale, but I did join the 90 day challenge at my gym. You’re probably asking — what does that mean? It’s a little friendly competition to see who can lose the most body fat percentage in three months. There are 20 people participating. I know you’re probably thinking I’m a fit person and don’t have a lot to lose. Well I thought the same thing until…. I had my body fat tested, weighed and photos taken. Looks can be deceiving. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nLet’s keep it real — here are the results:<\/b><\/div>\n
\nHeight: 5’3″<\/div>\n
\nWeight: 140<\/div>\n
\nBMI: 30.6% (Fair for my age: 30)<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I’m saving the before picture  for a comparison post.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNow that you know the dirty truth — I’m Skinny Fat — what are my goals? and how will I reach them?<\/div>\n
\nGoals in 90 days:<\/b><\/div>\n
\nWeight: 125<\/div>\n
\n  (Ideally the trainer would like me to lose 18 lbs — 1.5 lbs a week)<\/i><\/div>\n
\nBMI: 20%<\/div>\n
\nWhat is it going to take:<\/b><\/div>\n
\n2 bio fit workouts a week (it’s very similar to cross-fit)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n5 group workouts a week (think spin, body pump & yoga)<\/i><\/div>\n
\nEating clean and healthy (No more alcohol or ice cream)<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNote: The above mentioned goals were set and discussed with a trainer I didn’t pull them out of thin air.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nOf course the trainer asked me who I would want to look like at the end of 90 days and without hesitation I said Jennifer Aniston.  Don’t you just love her?!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
{via}<\/a><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\nThoughts, questions or bits of advise are always welcome…. and just a little more inspiration for all of us \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nFYI: Although, there will be monthly updates over the next three months I’m not turning this into a weight loss blog. This is me keeping it real while making me accountable. <\/i><\/div>\n
