13 More Days!

So here I am, only 13 more days till the "Big Reveal" as my sister put it.

WEEKLY STATS

Weight: 125.5 lbs (1.5 lbs up from last week)
Body Fat %: 19
BMI: 22.9

Waist: 30 1/4 inches (-1/4 from last week but we'll say no change becasue that could just be that I didn't eat as much this morning)
Hips: 36 inches
Chest: 33.5 inches (-.5 inches)

Pretty much this week i've seen no change apart from gaining 1.5 lbs. I don't really pay too much attention to weight though. Weight is a terrible indicator of health and wellness.

Something cool that I noticed while working out in my body combat class is that at the beginning of my 60 days I could last a half hour in that class. Now I can work my very hardest through out the duration of the class and still feel up for more. That right there is a big WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This same thing goes along with all my weight training. 1 hour seemed like an eternity at the gym, now it feels like 15 minutes.

One of my goals that I actually took on a while ago was to be able to do 15 pull ups by the time I went on my cruise. I wasn't able to do a single one 4 months ago and I can now do 7. It's not 15 but I've still got 2 weeks right? ;)

I can now fall asleep quickly! Before I started my 60 day challenge and a little bit in the beginning I was having a really hard time sleeping. Now I lay in bed and pass out in 2 minutes + I have tons of sustained energy through out the day.

When I started the 60 day challenge I would seriously eat a whole sleeve a cookies or 18 pieces of candy. Candy or cookies was one of the things on my grocery list and Andrew and I would eat some (or a lot) every night. Now both of us have broken that habit that we've had for 2 years.

TUESDAY
Interval training in target heart rate zones.

I have to take continuing education credits to re-certify through NASM every 2 years. I just took a Cardio for Weight Loss course that gave me a great insight to maximizing your Cardio.
I already knew about finding your target heart rate zones and how to use them but I didn't know why you used them in certain ways and why certain programs where designed the way they were. Now I can actually design my own programs! Woot woot!

WEDNESDAY
Rest

THURSDAY
45 minute bike ride with Denali-Hills
30 minute upper body weight training
