week 4 started 6/8/07

Before I knew it, it is already Week 4! Because yesterday was Day E, biceps and triceps, I didn't do Day A, instead, I did Day B, ab and cardio. I ran 45 minutes on treadmill again. It goes about 3.2 miles and I am thinking, maybe I should shoot for 4 miles. It will probably be less than an hour. If Trafton plans to run on track, I am thinking maybe I should try it. Will see.

same weight, different composite 6/6/07

After bugging Anthony for a couple of times, I finally got a graphical summary of my three evaluations at the gym. The first one was when I first moved to Dallas, August 11, 2005. The second one was a free consultation with Anthony on January 11, 2007. The third one was before I got into this routine this summer on May 18, 2007. My height doesn't change and my weight has not (although there was ups and downs), so my BMI, Body Mass Index, has not changed either. However body composition (% fat) has dramatically changed. Ranges are: Overweight, 30.1-35.0, Moderate 25.1-30, Good 20.1-25.0. 1st: 33.0 (overweight), 2nd: 29.4 (moderate), 3rd: 27.4. Overall fitness has been improving, too. Ranges are: Average, 41-60, Good 61-80 and I am climbing up to Good. 1st: 41.7, 2nd: 50, 3rd: 62.5. After getting the next week's schedule, I am going to have to call Anthony to make another appointment. Then I will figure out what to do for the next four weeks. I am going to ask him to do the same test. We will see.

fighting for sleep 6/5/07

My new position at Sears is much better off as the schedule is predictable, I get out early and guaranteed Saturday off, the fact that days off end up being a rest day doesn't seem to change. I spend Saturday like normal people with Trafton and Sunday was a big ad day. I woke up at 2:30 am (poor Trafton) and had to stay until 3:30 pm to finish. Then the team decided to start at 4 instead of reguar 6, so it was another 2:30 am wake-up Monday. On both days, I managed to drag myself to the gym. Today and tomorrow were switched, so I have two days off in a row. Even if I was doing things, I noticed I was half asleep, not as alert as I should be, so I decided to take it easy altogether. I have been doing nothing productive today after getting out at 2:40 pm. I will make it to the gym early for the rest of the week as Friday is a late day, 1:30-10:00pm.
