Quality Meta-Encouragement
Monday was the end of my first program with FitnessTogether. I signed on for another four months, but only once a week this time. I plan to get a membership at Fitcorp (a more conventional gym near my office) and start designing my own strength training workouts, with the weekly sessions at FitnessTogether providing guidance and monitoring my progress.
FitTest results from end of first program (last test was on 9/26, almost a month ago):
Weight: 183 lbs. (-5 lbs.)
BMI: 29.5 (-0.8, down to "overweight")
Measurements are fairly steady. Quarter inch less on the neck, two less around the shoulders (?), slight decrease on the chest, slight increase on the waist, slight decrease on thigh, calf, forearm.
Fitness Scores
Overall: 37 -> 39
(1-100, 50 is average, higher is better, compared to other males my age)
Bodyfat (3-Pinch Measure): 21 -> 23 (22.1% -> 21.7%)
Bodyfat (Impedance Measure): 13 -> 10 (24.7% -> 27%) (mixed measurements)
Resting Heart Rate: 72 (62 BPM)
Active Heart Rate: 8 -> 28 (134 BPM -> 116 BPM) (still getting inconsistent measurements)
60-Second Situps: 60 (40 reps)
Maximum Pushups: 25 -> 10 (17 reps -> 10 reps) (much harder this time, still working on form (out of practice from when I was sick?))
Sit-Reach Flexion: 65 -> 75 (18.25 in. -> 19.5 in.)
I also managed to get huge blisters on both of my feet on Monday running on the treadmill, which is really bizarre because I didn't deviate significantly from my standard routine. My feet are slowly healing, but ow.
I went to Fitcorp after work today and got in a pretty good workout despite having to take it easy on my feet. Then I felt like going back to work for some reason, so I went back to my office. I didn't get back to work right away, as I was (pleasantly) interrupted by a phone call from a friend, but when I did I put in a few more very productive hours. Maybe I should give up on waking up early and start working late more often. I'm so much more focused after sunset.
Work is going well again. I just finished a horribly frustrating bug, came out of that one more knowledgeable, but I'm glad to be dealing with something a little more straightforward this time. I blazed through a first attempt at code changes for my new bug and finished the first of the new series of regression tests before I left work today.
