Orientation done

Orientation was yesterday which was good.  My weight was about what I expected, what I didn't expect was my body fat percentage was less than I figured.  I have less fat available to lose than I'd thought so I suppose that's good, but my goal of getting down to 270 pounds is less likely, since I have less fat to lose.  We'll see.  

I was overly optimistic about my mile run, after doing half an hour on the treadmill on Thursday... I never achieved anything resembling a 'groove', much less 'runner's high'.  

My situps/minute score was pretty bad, I thought... but that's to be expected considering how little I work my abs.  My pushups was better (actually did more pushups than situps) but again that's to be expected since I bench press at the gym with some regularity.  

My coach's name is John, he's the guy that won the prize from the April class and also the guy that when I saw his before/after pics online I thought that my chances at the big prize are pretty slim.  He's also competitive, he was telling us who we have to beat.  That's good, though.  

The nutrition seminar was not surprising... Sarah had already talked to me about it from her 10-wk challenge and I'd read quite a bit of her book already.  

It's ironic that I feel more sore than I have in quite a while and that's just from testing and orientation.  Tomorrow morning should be fun and I'm already looking forward to Wednesday morning being a really fun wakeup.
