Weigh In!!

Okay, I have been going to the gym now for 6 weeks. Today was the BIG day and we did my measurements today! I have been attending the gym 5 days a week for an hour and half to two hours everyday. I do an hour of weight training and and hour of cardio. So.....
My weight did not change, but I'm okay with that. I know that muscle weighs more then fat, so it's acceptable (for now)!

• Body fat (% body weight) 38.4 to 36
• Chest (mm) 29 to 27.8
• Mid axillary skin fold (back fat) (mm) 28.4 to 25.7
• Triceps skin fold (mm) 39.1 to 32.5
• Thigh skin fold (mm) 41.9 to 37.8
• Supra ilium Skin fold (mm) (hip) 39.4 to 36.0
• (These are only the ones I could figure out where they were.)
• Total! 23.1 mm!!!!

So excited for the results! I got some new workouts to mix it up a little bit, because I do have a tendency to get bored. How are you guys doing?

I really liked this!!

Rewards

So many times in the past, I have "rewarded" myself with a cookie or some other goody. I know, it takes way the whole purpose of having done the workout, but you do what you are taught. There are many times that my mom would take us to get an ice cream or other treat. I am trying to change the cycle, and they way my brain works with food.
 So today, since I did really good at the gym this week, I am going to reward myself. Today I am going to do 30 minutes of weights and 30 minutes of cardio. Then, I am going to take my book, put on my swimming suit, and go sit by the pool while I read for an hour or so. I am really so excited to be able to do this! While the other swimmers may not appreciate me in my swimming suite, that's just too dang bad.
 Well, I hope you all have a great weekend. Here's to day 5 going to the gym this week!!
