Elite  3020   Bay Area, CA |  Subject: FLuFF's - Week 9 Here we go again.Apparently, Fat Loss Follies was a better name for the group than I thought it would be. Once again, nothing good to report
Damn Halloween Candy. This week has not been good. Measurements: A big fat 0 this week. Workout Challenge Week 9 Challenge: Do some sort of plyometrics this week. Add in some jumping jacks, skipping rope etc. This kind of stuff is really supposed to help your "explosive" power base. WEEK 8 TRIVIA! Favorite scenery? Least favorite scenery? Favorite part of working out? |

Master 2346  Dayton, Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: FLuFF's - Week 9 Here we go again. Ending Week 8 Stats: Starting Weight: 156, Week 7 Weight Loss: -0.5 Ending Weight: 156.5 Total weight lost so far: -0.5 I did pretty well with eating this week, but had a lot of salt yesterday, so I'm pretty sure that explains the +0.5 today. I'm going to slam more water than normal today and weigh again tomorrow. Goals for Next Week: (1) Lose a pound (2) Crank up the resistance on the bike trainer. Measurements: Someday. I did do the bodyfat scale today though, and although 28.8% is still much higher than I'd like, it's a couple % lower than it was two months ago. Training Minutes: Swim: 0 Bike: 1 hr, 16 mins Run: 34 mins Walk: 45 mins Strength: 20 mins Too many rest days this week! Workout Challenge Week 8 Challenge Report: I invited my sister to masters swim with me, but she declined. Week 9 Challenge: Do some sort of plyometrics this week. WEEK 8 TRIVIA! What was the last major sporting event you watched? Well, I watch football every Sunday (Go Packers!), but that may not be "major." I watch a good share of the World Series, which probably counts. I also attended my daughter's end of season swim invitational, which was pretty major for those middle school girls!  Favorite scenery? A vast countryside of trees in full fall color. Love it. Least favorite scenery? Hmmm...I guess driving down interstate 35 south through Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, etc. on the way to Dallas, TX from MN. This was a good ten years ago now, but I remember vast stretches of blazing hot nothingness. I'm sure it didn't help that we didn't have air conditioning and it was August. Favorite part of working out? Agreed--the feeling that I've just done something really good for myself. Have a great weekend everyone! Kelly |
