I had set my goal weight as 175 after looking at the chart for my age, height and being a woman but I had a discussion today with my regular Dr. about the fact that my extensive muscle mass (comparable to a man's) wasn't concidered. He was concerned that my goal weight was too low. I agreed to put it 10lbs heavier saying that if I get there and want to lose more, I will. But, of course, it means I am that much closer to reaching my goal weight now.
I set another goal for myself...I wanted to climb to the top of the Rock Wall at the YMCA. Though I tried this last weekend, I only got up 3.5 feet. Mostly because I didn't know HOW to climb properly.
Even the muscle mass of a man wasn't going to get me to the top.
I'm not going to give up, I'm learning how to climb and promised myself that I will work towards getting to the top!
One goal is met though, I got into the climbing harness! AND I found that the guys holding the other end of the rope are trust worthy and can hold my weight as I dangle 3+ feet in the air...Good to know!
