Weigh-in, 11/9/06 - Two-fer

I had the dubious honor of weighing in twice today (three times, if you count my scale-check at home). I dropped into the WW office for the 11:00 meeting, then my trainer did weights and measures at my 12:00 session.

WW was 201.6 (-1 lb), gym was 201-something (she was too quick for me to see, and I think she only records whole numbers anyway). Losses all around! My bodyfat also went down by 2%, so a huge "woo!" on that. She didn't break out the tape measure, so I don't know what the inch measurements were like, but I'm sure that they went down significantly. Maybe not the 7" I got last time, but definitely some progress.

On my stated goals from a few weeks ago...

1. Quit eating so damned much. Eh. I don't know. I've been bad about recording things. I've been eating cleaner, I guess. (Well, except for the halloween candy. Damn leftovers!)
2. Try to stay away from white food. Going from flex to core is a step in this direction, and I had a salad at Chipotle the other day instead of the bol I usually get. I always have them skimp on the rice for my usual order, but the salad takes it out of the options entirely. I've also been pretty good about avoiding bread.
3. Five fruit/veggie servings a day. Been weak on this point. Need to work on it for next week.
4. Bike commute once a week. The only day I can really do this now is Fridays, since the workday is shorter. But I've been doing it!
5. Personal training. I've mostly hated it, but I haven't canceled or rescheduled a session.
6. Work out every day. Weeeeell, no. On weekdays that I'm not commuting or PT'ing, I've been bad about getting my cardio in. This is about to change, as I plan to go back to the 5:30 spin class on Monday and Wednesday mornings. I went to the Wed. one yesterday, and it was really good. She calls it the fat-burn class, and it's basically controlled-HR training. Concentrate on getting the HR up by 5 beats/minute for 4 minutes, then hold it there for 4-5 minutes, then 1-2 minutes recovery. Repeat for 45 minutes. I really enjoyed the class, and I think it will fit in nicely with my goals. I also got back into the running plan a little bit yesterday, and plan to do that on Tues/Thurs. We'll see how that plan pans out next weigh-in day.
