The last few weeks I have been struggling with the gluten free dieting. I finally got through my fake sausage & chik'n patties, think I have overcome my weaknesses like bread and pasta, & also think I am brave enough to be that ultra picky diner out at the restaurant. Yesterday (Saturday February 11th) was my official day 1 of being gluten free. I even went out to burgers tonight and found a restaurant that had a gluten free bun option. It was very delicious.
Last week I got a new gym membership too! I am quite excited about this. Very much looking forward to getting some extra cardio on! The membership is only $10.95/month with no contracts and was only $15 to sign up this month. It is actually a very nice, large, gym with lots of nice/new equipment. The motto is "No Judgements" which I can dig. If you are interested at all you can click HERE to check it out. My location is Beaverton.
Being that it is February now, I have completed a second assessment on myself as far as physical activity. The results were quite satisfying being that my top new years resolution was to decrease my body fat percentage and build lean muscle.
In the last month I have lost 4.6 pounds, a half inch off my waist, a fourth inch off my hips and one and a half inches off my thighs. I also decreased my body fat percentage by 3.07% and increased my lean body mass by 1.29 pounds. It feels good and is exciting, but what I am more excited about is doing out partner training in school again. We just got our partners and did initial assessments this last week. I am just now remembering that I need to have a work out for my partner tomorrow. My partner is a bit younger than me, very fit guy (7% body fat) with goals that I have not yet worked with such as being more mobile and agile. I will admit that it is quite intimidating working with 1. a male and 2. a very fit and strong male. I will let you know how it is goes. I am excited to see what kind of work outs he is going to have for me.
Take care all.
