Wow! What a workout! I was feeling completely wiped out after that workout! I love that the time totally flies by. I note the time remaining when I start the workout, and then I happen to notice it again, about halfway through ... and then suddenly it says "cooldown"!

I was feeling some definite burn!!

I did the workout without weights this time. Mainly, because I'm just trying it out for the first time. But, also, I didn't realize I needed them, and I was already running a little behind schedule, and didn't want to take any additional time to pull any of them out of the closet. Now that I know what the workout is, on Thursday, I'll pull out the 5s and 10s. I want to try it with the 10s, but I'll have the 5s nearby just in case that's too much.

I got the Fit Test and the measurements done this morning. (Almost didn't make it to my Weight Watcher's meeting because I was trying to get that stuff done!!)

So, yes, I know what you all are interested in ...

The numbers, and the pictures ...

They weren't too bad. As far as measurements go, I'm down body fat percentage, and fat lbs., and up slightly on the lean mass. We're talking about 2% body fat less ... which, when you think about it, isn't too bad. Ninety-plus days ago, I decided to make a change in my life that would impact my body in a positive way. I did. My favorite body fat calculator website (biofitness) is back online again, so, all the numbers are reflective of using the same calculator.

Overall, there was a 4 1/2 inch loss, and a 2% fat loss as well.

I typed them up in Word, and then took a screen shot and cropped it in PhotoShop ... makes the columns look better! Much easier to read then the way I was doing it!! (Plus, if you can't read it, you can click on it, and get a bigger version of it!!)

Here are the measurements:















Now, for the Fit Test Results. My resting HR is improved. I can never remember to check it while in bed ... besides, when the alarm wakes me up, I'm not so sure that isn't a slightly elevated HR! ;) I also noticed, with the HR Maximizer, in anticipation of the next minute interval, when I looked at my HRM, my HR went up. (That would definitely be a good one for me to use help with, so I'm not looking at it!!)












The pictures will be here later. I ran out of time to get them done. Actually, doing my workout was more important to me than doing that. So, it's scheduled into my day tomorrow to take the pictures. I've got a pretty packed schedule tomorrow, so it may be Thursday before I get them uploaded here.

Tomorrow, it's back to the Fat Burning Cardio workout. I should be able to keep up a little better tomorrow. Plus, I'm going to go running. Originally, I was thinking about a two hour run, however, it's been over a week since I have gone out, so I'm going to aim for 1 hour. (Don't want to set goals too difficult to obtain!)

Goals:

1. Workout.
2. Eat 5-6 small meals every day.
   
3. Drink 6 bottles of water.
4. Stop eating at least 2 hours before bedtime.
   
5. Take my vitamins.
