Saturday morning, I woke up early and weighed myself- looking for another few pounds down- but what I saw made me catch my breath. WHAT! 370.6 lbs. The scale says I've gained 3 pounds! WHAT?! WHAT?!?! WHAAT!?!?!?!? I slumped down off the scale, defeated. Feeling worthless- for all the work I'd put in, I somehow failed. This was very suspicious though...I refused to believe it, so with the scale in hand- I went to Matt B.'s house. I got measured first- bicep was good, chest was good, and handle measurement was a small milestone- I lost an inch :) I was excited, then nervous...because the scale was next! I climbed up on the Truth Teller, and closed my eyes-365lbs! I felt lighter than air (kinda) and told Matt B. what I'd found on the scale at home. So we set them side by side and my home scale was exactly 5 lbs heavier on the measurement. I was worried for nothing.
We did our strength test- I added 20 lbs to my bench press- making it 10 reps at 110lbs. My arm was still sore from golfing on Thursday, so my curl number was a little short, but my biggest improvement was the dreaded PLANK. I previously did 1 min. 10 seconds. This time as the time was being counted, I reached a minute-ten and felt strong still. I made it to 1 minute 52 seconds! YAY for strength- and praise God for giving it to me. My new cardio goal this week is to go 2.25 miles on the track or treadmill. Oh Boy! It's gonna be a week of testing. Each week is a battle in this lifetime war.
Hoo Ra!
