be in the best shape of my life...

See my previous entry….

Well, it’s been a while since i’ve posted to this. I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life. My bodyfat is now below 17% – from 24 . I’m still aiming for less than 12- that should come soon enough. I actually dropped 4% in the last 5 weeks. I’m very motivated to get there.

I’m going to add a new fitness goal.

my legs are very sore from the lunges i did yesterday. feel the burn they say. i’m feelin it!

Workouts are going awesome! I’ve decided to switch to four days of cardio, used to be five. I don’t want to have the pressure to fit in five days. Since I’m doing my lifting during my lunch hours, all my cardio is after work. I will be finishing up a Pilates/yoga class on Thursday. Signed up for a yoga class starting in June (very excited about this).

I can see soooo many changes. I know the fat is dropping off. I’m not overweight at all- but trying to get that fat off is my main concern. I have definition in my arms and legs, chest getting more defined, and I know there are abs under there. I’m still shooting for 12% body fat by the end of June. I was at 21% April 01. I know it has gone down- getting it checked at the end of next week (the six-week mark).

One of these days I’ll post before/after pics. When I’m feeling gutsy.

Oh, last thing- I was a solid size 36 back in January- lost weight by dieting – went down to a solid 34. Since exercising I am now a low 33- can button a 32. Wow!

Well… I’m back into the routine of things. Shoulder no longer sprained. I feel so much better, more energetic when i’m working out.

sprained my shoulder wednesday. damn it! got adjusted at the chiropractor. had acupuncture… things are looking up… gonna do cardio on saturday or sunday. it kills me not to be working out when I had such a great start. we shall see though…

started working out with a personal trainer a few weeks back. three times-per-week… also do cardio five times-per-week… i’m feeling really good about it. it’s funny how you feel better about yourself when you are working out. bizarre… i guess that the endorphines really do kick in…
