It stayed!!! It really stayed!!!
226, for real! See that signature? Isn't it a beautiful, beautiful signature??
Seriously though, it was a happy moment when I got to change those tickers and add another little guy
to my lineup! Especially that, since it takes a little while to be able to add him in since I only go by 10 pounds.
I can't believe my overall goal ticker is SO close to the halfway mark!!! That's insane to me! Hahaha
So yesterday instead of our normal workout in Step Aerobics at school, we did the oh-so-fun fitness testing! Which for my class pretty much consisted of recording your weight, using a nifty little gadget to get your body fat % and BMI, sit and reach, and a step cardio thing where you took your pulse 1 minute after doing 3 minuts of stepping up and down over and over and over. This was actually a little entertaining for me, because I'd done it before a couple of semesters ago when I took swimming. The biggest thing I really noticed was with the 3 minute step test - Last time I did it I had some issues, couldn't really keep my pace, was pretty out of breath... This time I absolutely kept up with the pace, and I definitely rocked it! My pulse 1 minute after when I took it for ten seconds was 22... Which is 132 beats per minute. Not great, but I'm sure it's better than what I did last time.
The little gadget told me that my body fat percentage was freakin' 40%. Seemed like a really high number to me, but I guess it makes sense! Definitely got me wondering what it had been last time... But I really have no idea. I'm looking forward to the end of the semester, though, when we do it again to see if anything has changed!
Because that will be in November or December, and we all know where I'm trying to head...
One thing that really made me laugh: My instructor was looking over my stuff and told me she thought it would be a good goal for me to lose 9 pounds this semester. I just kind of nodded, but I was definitely laughing inwardly. 9 pounds in 3ish months? I'm 99% sure I can do better than that.
I leave the 1% off because I know stranger things have happened to people in weight loss!
I'm just loving the long winded crazy posts these days, aren't I?? Shutting up now!
