Great workout today… my arms in particular got a thorough beating.

Weight: 197 (up .5)

Body fat: 27% (up 1)

Workout: Weights – upper body

Saturday – free day; Sunday – lower body; Today – cardio. I wasn’t able to run because all of the treadmills at the Y were taken up by walkers. >:( Come on people – that’s what the walking track is for. Anyway:

Weight: 196.5 (no change)

Body fat: 26% (no change)

Workout: Cardio – elliptical

14% done.

Oops – I forgot to update yesterday. The short version: upper body work out, so-so diet. Today was another running day… went much better than Tuesday. I’d *like* to be ready to run in a 5K race next month, but since all of my running has only been on a treadmill so far, I doubt I’ll be ready… road running is a completely different beast.

Man… I just wasn’t feeling it today. Got 7.5 hours of sleep and still had to force myself out of bed. Then once I started running, I had to *force* myself to finish… blah.

Another thing about the body fat – I am suspicious that my scale is *way* off. I was looking through some “before and after” pictures, and people listed with 28% body fat looked much fatter than myself. I mean, I definitely need to drop a few pounds, but my stomach doesn’t hang over my belt like the other people who had BF% in the high 20s.

Weight: 197.5 (down .5)
