Challenge 2, Day 15

Week 2 Summary
Still missed workouts this week. I need to do better on this. Monday, I forgot that I had agreed to have lunch with a friend from college and I never made it to the gym for my UBWO. I was tired Monday night so I didn't do any cardio in the evening. Tuesday morning I did 20 minutes on the Nordic Track followed by an upper body workout at lunch. Wednesday I had a pavement conference so I was tied up during lunch and didn't wake up early enough to get my workout done AND get my son ready to drop off at church. I wound up getting the workout done at 11 pm that night. Thursday I did 20 minutes on the Nordic Track in the morning and a lower body workout at lunch to make up for Wednesday. Friday I didn't workout because I didn't wake up in time and I was laying sod in my backyard. Saturday I was just too tired from laying sod to do anything.

I weighed myself this morning and I am 0.4 pounds lower than when I started the challenge. Not too bad considering it was after a free day. Some really positive news is my measurements (maybe). Somehow, I have lost almost 2 inches from my gut since the end of my first challenge but a really good point is that my body fat based on the DOD formula is now below 30% (29% to be exact)! This makes me very happy. I have been thinking my progress has slowed the last month or so but I am not sure.

After looking at my measurements and the DOD formula, I am starting to think that maybe my BF scale wasn't off by that much. I am going to check it tomorrow and see what it says but I am not going to obsess over it.

Monday
I was really tired last night and slept really hard. I didn't wake up in time to get some time in on the Nordic Track this morning but that's ok. Maybe this evening. I am still planning on heading to the gym during lunch for a lower body workout as well.

Tomorrow a good friend of mine is in town for a job interview and we are supposed to have lunch so I will have do my cardio in the morning. If I wake up in time, I think I will run. If its early enough, maybe I'll try to run 4 miles. I haven't done that in quite a while...

***Update*** I did make it to the gym for a workout today. For some reason, I thought I was supposed to a lower body workout but actually according to the schedule I was supposed to do an upper body. No big deal, I'll do upperbody on Wednesday and Friday to get back on track. This did get me in the mood to finish my home-made "Success Journal" since I haven't purchased the software for my pocket pc. Actually, I am more leaning towards a nutritional database program since that is my weakest area and probably the main reason I am not losing weight (and body fat) faster....
