i heard on the radio this morning that the mayo clinic (which always reminds me of mayonnaise when i hear it!) recently did a study of body fat in "skinny" people....and found that even if you don't weight a lot, you can still have a high body fat percentage. this reminded me of a conversation that i had with josie a few years back about "skinny fat" girls. they look like twigs, but they have fat, not muscle. crazy!
i went on the mayo clinic's website to see if i found the article, but i got distracted with a different one, which is about nutrition facts and how to read food labels....pretty cool (and it's interactive!).
in other news, i'm joining the new gym today! woohoo! i am going to try to get a personal training session tomorrow, since i'm taking the day off from my (first) job. maybe that will help me get adjusted to it. i'm kind of scared, though...i've never worked with a personal trainer before, and i'm not sure if i can do everything they'll ask me to!
i'm probably going to do the zumba class on sunday (provided that my second job doesn't schedule me), and there's kickboxing classes on monday and wednesday evenings, which might conflict with work, so i will have to play it by ear each week.
i'm really happy that the gym is across the street from work, because i usually have the issue of going home after work, and feeling too lazy to work out (this happened yesterday, in fact!)...now, i'll go straight to the gym so i can't make that excuse! :D
