Day 67 - Fit Test - July 22, 2011

Today was the final fit test.  My measurements for this final assessment were as follows:

                 May 17          May 30       June 14         July 9        July 22
Weight - 131 lbs             130.4         131.8           130.8          131
Bust -     33 3/4"            33 3/4"       34 1/2"        34 1/4"          34
Waist -   32 1/2"            30 1/2"          29"               29               29
Hips -     39 1/4"            37 3/4        37 1/2"        37 1/4"           37
Thighs -   23 3/4"              23"          22 1/2"        22 1/2         22 1/4

These 2 weeks I lost another 3/4", for a total loss of 6 3/4"!  Funny, but the exact same weight as the beginning.  I feel soooo much stronger and I really look forward to improving upon the fitness and burning some more fat with more running in my program.  I will however, continue to use some of the workouts, incorporating them into a routine 2 or 3 times a week.

Day 66 - Off - July 21, 2011

Today we had ball so it was a day off.  We biked up, so we still got the lungs going and the legs moving.  A good night of ball and we won again.  Our team is undefeated with a 10-0 record.   1 more day of the program.

Day 65 - Run - July 20, 2011

Today I felt great, a rest was just what I needed.  I did my usual lunch run as we are off to the city tonight to say bon voyage to my sister-in-law and her family.  They are off to Australia to live.  The run is a shorter 30 min or so run (give or take a minute or two), but its beautiful and gets me and the dog out for some fresh air.  I feel good, but even better is that this is the last week for insanity.  I do the final fit test on Friday!

Day 64 - Off - July 19, 2011

Today I took the day off.  My body was just tired and it was a somewhat stressful day.  I chose to relax instead.

Day 63 - Max Interval Circuit - July 18, 2011

Today I was wiped.  The workout was long and hard.  My body was really tired from a weekend of riding.  Thank god this is the last week.

Day 62 - Riding - July 17, 2011

Today was a nice long 3ish hour ride.  Some good climbing and decending.  Also worked up a good sweat today and it was nice and warm out.

Day 61 - Riding - July 16, 2011

We were away in Golden, BC on a camping and mountain biking trip.  Today we did 2 rides, each consisting of a couple of hours.  Worked up a good sweat and my muscles and cardio are feeling fantastic on the bike.  We also did a leasurely canoe on the lake.
