Weekly Weigh In/ Workout with Trainer

Yes, we finally have some progress! Yesterday my trainer weighed me, and I was down another 3 pounds. I have finally broken the 10 pound mark for a total of 11 pounds of weight loss. My current weight is 176. It is obvious I won't get near my goal for student teaching, but this is probably healthier anyway. I am also down another percentage on body fat. Not too long and I will be under 30%. That number is important because it is a standard for obesity and carries a lot of health related warnings. I am hoping by the end of this month to be at 29%.

Yesterday's workout was killer, as usual. For some reason I have no strength in my upper body. I think I've been focusing on my legs a lot more. Of course, Jim knows this and had me do an upper body workout yesterday. Fortunately I am not sore today, so I'm not doing too bad. The ab workout he put me through was AWESOME! I might start doing some of those exercises right before bed. I CAN see some small results from those exercises since we do them in MetCon, too.

I am jogging a little more on the treadmill. Jim is convinced this is the reason for the scale to start moving more. I'm convinced it's because I started eating a little more. I know, it sounds backward, but I've done a lot of reading on the subject. Either way, it's been fun to be able to do more. I really want to be able to run. I used to enjoy that in high school, and it is something that I could do anywhere at anytime. It's nice to have a backup for when the gym is not an option.

Well, this week is off to a good start. Tonight I am heading to Pure Step. Believe it or not, I'm actually finding some coordination that makes the step routine fun. I CAN do anything I set my mind to!
