Day 4...

Okay, for the first time since last December I made it to four classes in one week.  I'm at 100% attendance this week.  Whoo-hoo!  It's been rough, it's definitely all FIT classes, this week and next week before the next 10 week challenge starts.  it's been pretty rough, thanks to my slacking off the past few months.  Well.  Past six months.  Okay, the past nine months.

Lauretta pulled me aside before class today because she took my body fat measurement wrong on Monday... so I'm at 28%, not 33%... which is great for my self-esteem but crappy for the challenge.  Oh, well.. I'm not winning the challenge anyway, I just want to make my own improvements.  I'll set some goals here...

After crunching some numbers, here are my goals:

22% body fat (this is what I was at in college when my buddy started making fun of me)
290lbs (this is what I should be at if I get down to 22% body fat without losing/gaining any muscle mass.
60 pushups (aggressive... that's up from 39)
80 situps (up from 45)

I have no idea what I might lose of my waist and belly and everything... be nice to knock it down, but wherever I end up if I meet the goals above are fine.

I want to the mile run again, too... in 7 minutes or less.

My lower back keeps bugging me... we did around the world lunges which I hate, I worry about my knees and ankles and turf toes doing those lunges every time and don't do them very well... plus it's crowded and I need a lot of room to lunge in every direction, so I had to make sure I wasn't hitting the wall or the woman next to me.

Other fun stuff from class today... Surrenders, burpees with pushups, hen pecks, donkey kicks, a bunch of ab stuff (been a lot of that in general this week).  We also did sumo squats which wasn't terrible, seated flys, some isolated tricep extensions which went pretty well.  Beat up the triceps though, there's been a LOT of pushups all week.  When we started the second set of burpees with pushups, I went down for the first pushup and there was nothing left in my arms, I basically fell to the mat.

Sarah's taking it easy (like I said earlier)... she's meeting me for the 4:30 kickboxing class tomorrow.  I hope we warm up with gauntlets through the bags instead of the stupid jumping and running across the floor.  We'll see.
