Sunday, Week 11 (with Progress Update)

My progress this week was better than I had expected. After a non-energized beginning of the week, I rallied and came back strong towards the end. My 3K race really energized and motivated me to push towards the next level. I'm going to follow that new weekly schedule, and I'm going to train my running towards a 5K race. Perhaps I'll do one of the November ones in the area.

As for this week, my trapeze class will be starting. I'm excited about it, but slightly nervous. I wish I were stronger at the start. I should have been doing these hanging exercises weeks ago (if only I had known). Also, I've started doing my weights without the weight lifting gloves to toughen my hands. That should help, as well. Perhaps after the 14-week class, I'll be able to do pull-ups. That would be awesome, as it's been a personal goal of mine for quite some time. I figure in 14 weeks I should be at about a peak level of fitness. If I lose a pound a week, I'll be down to about 112lbs. I'm not sure how realistic that is with a desk job, though. So, I'll have to see. The lowest I've been as an adult (out of school) is 117 lbs. It will be an exciting journey. Eventually, I'll have to figure out and post some progress photos. Also, I'll post pics of my trapeze performance in 14 weeks.

Progress:
Weight: 125.4lbs (137.8 baseline, 126.2 last week, down .8 from last week!)
Waist: 28.5 inches (31.5 baseline, 29 last week, down .5 from last week!)
Below Waist: 31.75 inches (33.25 baseline, 32 last week, down .25 from last week!)
Body Fat: 30% (34% week 5 baseline, 31% last week, down 1% from last week)
(The body fat thing on my scale I'm thinking is way off. I really need to get some body fat caliapers. That would be more accurate. This is only accurate for following trends.)
