I've finally become a woman.

I am 5' 4.5". (Seriously, every time I get measured, I am *right* in between 4" and 5".)

I weigh between 105 lbs and 107 lbs. (My weight has fluctuated between 107.6 and 105.4 in the past 24 hours.)

And yet, I somehow have 22.1% body fat, according to the body fat calipers that J and I bought two days ago.

This number in and of itself really doesn't bother me at all. Truthfully, I have always been quite a fan of the way that I look. I've got a decent figure for someone who was a twiggy bit of a thing growing up.

But in the past two days, that's changed a little bit. You measure body fat percentage with calipers by grabbing the fold of skin/fat on your stomach between your hip and belly button. And all of a sudden, I don't like that fold one bit. It isn't noticeable unless I am sitting, but I don't like it! I feel like it appeared overnight, which obviously can't be true, but I find it a little bit alarming. I have never been the least bit sensitive about my appearance, except when people used to make fun of me for being thin in high school (anorexia jokes really get old fast, in fact they are pretty much never funny). But now I want that fat to go away. I want what every woman wants... a flat, toned stomach, and no more bra bulge on my back. Sigh.

In other news, J and I did our second day of the body weight circuit. I managed to make some improvements. I lifted 25 lbs (!!!!!!) for the dumbbell rows in the first set and then switched down to 12 lbs for the second two sets. I also did the plank for 45 sec, 35 sec, and 40 sec instead of 30. I think next time we do it, I am going to kick my pushups up a notch. I know that you can't rush these things, just like with the running, but I want results!
