Welcome to my fitness and health journal. I created this blog because I wanted a place where I could keep track of my efforts as well as share my physical successes with friends. I am not an athlete, health nut, etc. just a normal person wanting to challenge myself. This blog also helps keep me accountable for any goals I set. Don't let me slack off!

Run

First day of running since the competition began. Started using this new iPhone application called RunKeeper. It uses GPS to trace your route and calculate distance and pace.

Distance : 2.27 mi
Duration : 30:23

Ready...Set...Go!

A few of our friends decided they wanted to organize their own Biggest Loser competition (too bad it's one week AFTER Anthony and I hiked Pike's Peak...wasted energy. Ha...J/K). Feeling like I have been neglecting my health in terms of physical fitness, I decided to jump on board. The first step was to get a body mass analysis to determine starting weight and percent body fat. We were able to utilize the Bod Pod at the Health and Wellness Center on base. It uses compressed air to calculate body mass.

Although I am technically in the moderately lean category, I would still like to make it my personal goal to drop my percent body fat by a few points.

Day 1 Stats:
% Fat = 24.2 %
Weight = 121.608 lbs

Wish me luck!
