Fitness 2010 Week 1 Results

Week 1: The “Change Nothing, Just Pay Attention” Week

Weight:223
Blood Pressure: 135/90
Pulse: 71

This week was all about taking a good look at things. The last thing that you want to do is “overkill” in the beginning and burn yourself out too quickly. I focused my week on becoming a little more aware of the things that were getting put into my body as well as how I felt afterward. The goal of week 1 is to start to develop a “pace”.

With any healthy fitness plan, you want to develop something that takes stress off of your body, not something that puts more stress on it.

As a result, I made my running goal on two of the planned days and missed one day (Friday). Why? I was exhausted after Thursday night and needed the rest. The key is to build up to your goals….not stress yourself out with them.

A nice little sidenote: I found out my Cholesterol is way too high (via some lab testing)…we are going to do a confirmation lab panel this coming week and then I’ll talk about it more.

MAJOR WINS for WEEK 1

1) I got a healthy handle on what I’ve been doing lately.

2) Lost a little weight

3) Learned about how bad my cholesterol was from a lab test (we’re going to do an updated test this week as those results were from a over a month ago.)

4) The Resting Pulse Rate had a MAJOR improvement (89 last Monday and 71 today….that is huge!!!)

What’s Next:

This is “More Charting…Less Cheating Weak”

1) Food Journal-ing is Mandatory

2) Exercise has to become just a bit more frequent (we’re still not going hardcore yet)

Until Next Week!
