Alright. So I haven't been updating as often as I said I would. I will endeavor to improve my update schedule.
Let's start with day 60. So I did my yoga and took my weight. I will admit I am not pleased with my performance thus far. I feel I am way behind where I should be. My body fat percent has dipped below 20%, so that much is looking good, but I still need to tone up. I have a feeling I need to do more cardio for this last month to really get where I feel I should be.
Saturday's Legs and Back went very well. I didn't even break a sweat during the wall squats. (I could swear those particular exercises lasted longer than that...) As far as the pull-up/chin-up exercises go, I'm still using the chair to assist, but I do believe I'm getting better at it because I can manage more reps without 'cheating' like I usually do. I still struggle with them sans the chair, but I can at least do some now.
Yesterday was to be Kenpo, but Ashleigh and I decided to take in the beach for the first time this summer. A little late, I know. But better late than never, eh? I just used yesterday as my 'off' day again and made up the Kenpo this morning. I really love that disc. More than Ploymetrics as far as cardio workouts. (I even think my heart rate stays up more with Kenpo.)
I did take my 60-day photos, but I'm going to hold off posting them because I'd rather have the 90-day final pictures to show the whole series.
So where do I stand now? My weigh keeps bouncing between the same four pounds and it's starting to get irritating. My eating habits are really getting in my way here. I need to reflect on the absolute basic rule of weight loss:
Match your activity level to your caloric intake.
If I'm going to continue to eat the way I do, I _NEED_ to do more cardio to offset it. Pining isn't going to help. I need to do what I did at the beginning of this trip; JUST FREAKIN' DO IT!
Something else I could use is an accurate measurement for calories burned from a given activity. There are too many sites out there with 'calculators' that give their own answers. (One calculator I used said I was burning ~200 calories during my 'low impact aerobic workout' (Kenpo) and another site said I was burning closer to 450 for the same workout.
