ChaLEAN Day 0

I am starting ChaLEAN, so here are a few pieces of information I need, before I begin the process, to remind me where I started.

Fit Test Results: . . . . . 2/15/09
Push-Ups: . . . . . . . . . 10 (toes)
Crunches: . . . . . . . . . 1
Squats: . . . . . . . . . . 26
Forearm Plank:. . . . . . . 15 sec.
Overhead Shoulder Press:. . 5#/13; 10#/9
Bicep Curl: . . . . . . . . 10#/11
Sit and Reach:. . . . . . . 2" beyond feet

I was surprised that I needed higher weights for the shoulder press. Historically, I have weak shoulders, which require slowly increasing the weight. The muscles were burning, but there was not weakness felt, or sharp pains. (Encourages me that even though my exercise hasn't been optimal, it's not been as horrible as it could have been.)

Measurements: . . . . . . . 2/15/09
Chest:. . . . . . . . . . . 40.5
Right Upper Arm:. . . . . . 13.5
Left Upper Arm: . . . . . . 13.5
Waist:. . . . . . . . . . . 37
Hips: . . . . . . . . . . . 45.5
Abductors:. . . . . . . . . 42.5
Right Thigh:. . . . . . . . 25.5
Left Thigh: . . . . . . . . 25.5
Weight: . . . . . . . . . . 173.8 lbs.
Body Fat Percentage:. . . . 34.6%

Not the greatest numbers. But I've gotta start somewhere. The bodyfat percentage was recorded using the biofitness website. I've got a bio-impedence device for measuring body fat, which I will probably use, however, it needs to be used at the same time every day. I usually use it first thing in the morning, when I first get out of bed.

Pictures are coming. They're on the camera, just need to get them on the computer, and then crop, etc.
