The Dr Is Out
I’ve switched to Monday morning weigh-ins for at least the duration of my unofficial Tiny Glow Fat Loss Challenge. Today I weighed in at 164.5 lbs—a loss of 2 lbs for the past week. Hooray! Boot camp is working! In the last two weeks I’ve lost more weight than I did in all of January. [...]
DEXA Scan Body Comp Analysis Results (Tiny Glow Fat Loss Challenge Starting Numbers)
7. February 2010
My body composition analysis on Friday was performed using incredibly accurate technology known as DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry). I had this done back in August 2009 as well, so I got to see the effect my behaviors of the last five months had on my body composition. Going beyond the basic number on the scale to [...]
A February Bike Ride
6. February 2010
I knew I needed to get in a workout today, but I wasn’t sure how until M suggested riding our bikes down to the central branch of the town library (he had ulterior book-related motives, but never mind that)! It was 4.6 miles each way, and we had a few minor adventures getting there and [...]
Challenge Prep Work
5. February 2010
Over the past few days, I’ve directed many of my non-working hours toward preparing for my upcoming challenge, which begins on Monday! Part of this includes keeping up with my current calorie-counting and fitness routine, as well as making forays into areas I’ll be exploring more as part of my challenge. I ordered my copy [...]
Is Boot Camp Like Childbirth?
4. February 2010
As I was driving to boot camp last night, I experienced an unspecified feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I kept flashing back to my Challenge manifesto-of-sorts and thinking “Was I on crack at the time I posted that?” (Answer, for those interested: No.) My brain started doing the frantic cat-in-a-bag clawing [...]
A DIY Fat Loss Challenge
3. February 2010
I experienced a minor pang of jealousy recently when I realized my two co-workers and another woman in our boot camp were going to be participating in the CrossFit Relentless Adventure Challenge, which is an intensive 8-week program. From the official website, here are some of the components of their challenge: 8 weeks of workouts [...]
Boot Camp Sends Some Pounds Packing
2. February 2010
Today’s weigh-in revealed a loss of 2.5 lbs this past week! I’m so relieved that the scale isn’t stuck for good, and I think that the two boot camp sessions I participated in (Saturday and last night) helped nudge the number down. My total weight-loss so far is 36.5 lbs. Let me pause for a [...]
Boot Camp Pictures
1. February 2010
A few photos of me in all my glory (i.e., baggy sweats and no makeup) at the boot camp I attended Saturday morning: In the right and left pictures, I’m doing wall balls with a 6-lb medicine ball (you can’t see the “wall,” but just above me there was a concrete partition). In the center [...]
