Week 35 - I'm bad with the updates....

Well, I've been a little preoccupied since last I posted. A visit to Melbourne, the recording and submission of my certification video to become a group fitness instructor and well, work and life in general has just taken precedence on posting blog updates.

So, I am now qualified and raring to go, I just need a regular timeslot in the gym and a bunch of keen cyclists (stationary bikes of course!) to come ride with me. I have covered a couple of classes for other instructors, but it is not quite the same as your own class.

Weight, body fat and waist measurment still goes on: it is necessary to keep it up in case something changes (and it can sneak up on you!).

its a bit of a lame update... sorry!

Results Day – Week 30: The joy of measurement!

It is done; I have managed to get a quick review of this week up on blog for all to see. The data continues show some consistency in output, but is it enough? Do I need to find that extra little bit of je ne sais pas?

Am I really achieving my goals? Have I achieved that flat stomach.. is that why I measure my stomach circumference?

Data:
Weight: 91.8kg (you see, this is good, its consistent and a bit lower than last week)
Body Fat: 8.6% (consistent, but a bit higher than last week)
Waist: 85-88cm (at least I have some data now!)

But the “flat” stomach still eludes me, or am I being too critical? What should I expect of myself at 41? I dunno, but maybe my vanity wants me to be flatter than I am now, and maybe I’ll just keep trying!

I’m having lots of fun trying and I reckon that is the most important aspect of this whole journey... AND I am seeing demonstrable results every week, which makes me even happier!

The joy of measurement!

Focus on what it is you want in life, and go and get it!

...Train, enjoy, laugh and then train again...
