Saturday stuff
Wow, I just finished Jari Love's Get Ripped 1000. It has to be the toughest workout I own. When I finished, I was completely soaked with sweat. My sports bra was like I'd stepped under the shower wearing it. Even my socks had a wet spot on them! As usual, I'm sure the downstairs neighbours were thrilled at me doing football runs over their heads at 8.00 in the morning. Oh, well, they ought to get their sorry butts out of bed and get moving themselves!
Today we are going to do some shopping and pick up some stuff to make our beloved vegan pizzas for lunch. After what I've just been through, I need some fuel!
You know, I'm thinking of getting a heart rate monitor to tell me how many calories I'm burning. I'm really curious about that. I'd also love to have a definitive BF% test. The last one I had was a hand-held thing that you hold at arm's length. It told me I was at 29%. Bah. I'm sure it was right. My skinfold calipers say 22%, but I recently read that if you have "loose skin" (ie, hangy fat rolls) calipers aren't a very accurate measure. I would love to get my actual BF% under 20%. I am hoping to get some good tips from the new book I've ordered (Thrive) to help me achieve my new fitness goals.
I'm so glad I've lit a new fire under my a$$. Maintenance was getting boring.
I'm even toying with idea of getting a personal trainer! We'll see...
