Unanswered Questions and a Fitness Double Dip
Well I am going into today with unanswered questions but that is all my fault. I forgot to weigh myself yesterday and again this morning so I still have no idea just how much I weigh. As it turns out I don't have a tape measure at the house so I was not able to take some measurements and find out what my body fat percentage is. The next time I am at a store I am going to take a moment to go ahead and pick up a cheap little tape measure so that I can find that out. I am also going to wait until the end of the week and get on the scale Saturday morning to see how much I weigh. As for the double dip, I ended up missing my workout Friday as you know because the rec center was closed and it was too cold to run. Saturday I ended up having to work in the morning and since I missed that time with the family I didn't want to miss anymore so that left me with Sunday to get everything done. I ran shortly after breakfast which didn't go exactly how I wanted it to but I got it done. I decided to run the way I wanted to rather than the Body-for-Life run and I had a much better time doing it. Later in the day when Haley was asleep I went to the rec center and got the missed lower body workout in. I figured that between the run and the lower body on the same day my legs would be pretty sore today but they are not so far. Another thing I learned while at the rec center this weekend is that Sunday afternoon is obviously high school/Justin Beeber (sp?) hair cut day. Not all that big a deal but when you are trying to workout and there are a bunch of kids just sitting on the equipment watching football it gets to be a little annoying. Today brought me to my upper body workout and the first day of the second half of the program. I got a really good workout today and was able to add a few more reps to the exercises that I have not yet finished the total number for the set so I think one or two more workouts should get me there. I even have the chance to add a little more weight to one of my exercises for Friday and when I was getting ready I could see even more change in my upper body so that put me in a very good mood. I am going to have to make the switch to machines for my lower body workout on Wednesday since the intensity is not there anymore but hey that is a pretty good problem to have. Right now my back and biceps are feeling pretty weak so I know I got some good muscle breakdown there and I should feel sore in my arms and chest tomorrow. I guess we will just have to wait and see. Tomorrow I may actually run before bible study rather than during lunch so I don't have to pack as much stuff with me in the morning but we will just have to wait and see about that. As much as I did enjoy my run yesterday doing it how I wanted to do it my feet were not feeling all that great when I finished so it seems that it is time for new shoes. As long as I have them to start the new year I am fine no real hurry right now for them I can deal but next year I was to try and train and run a half marathon so I am going to need shoes that don't hurt if I don't want to hurt myself. Well....until next time.
