Well Spin class was exciting Wednesday. All 8 of us. I forgot it was "race day", the class I was going to skip. Well I hung in there and worked at the correct heart rate zones but it was tough. I had strength training Thursday so I missed Run Club and going to wine tasting after. Bummer.
Friday was the Body Pod testing. Four weeks of double strength workouts, calorie counting,and trying to increase my exercise level to over 6 hours a week. Unfortunately I also got busy at work , had two St. Patrick's Day themed races with beer and a class reunion party. These things do not help when trying to lose weight.
THE RESULTS ARE ( drum roll, please!)
3% drop in body fat
4.81 lbs of body fat changes to muscle
2lb loss in weight
I'm happy, I was worried I would see no change at all. I actually dropped into the Moderately Lean category. ( the high end...but who cares? right?)
Will I do it again? Yes. Still the most important lessons are: MORE EXERCISE, and HEALTHY FOODS!
Then to keep on track Saturday was interval training followed by swimming...my legs are still sore. Then I went to the Swarm Lacrosse game. I actually like to watch lacrosse and every now and then a fight breaks out. Not quite as good as hockey, but its a fun time.
Now its Monday which means strength training tonight, hopefully with a swim before.

Leann, fascinating stuff! And congrats on moving into the Moderately Lean category. How cool is that? I was intrigued that a two pound weight loss can be translated a 3 percent drop in body fat. Congratulations! When will I see you again? Saturday at the Dam Hill Run??????
