Basline Testing Results

Okay, I did my homework for my class yesterday and the rest of my strength baseline testing today.
My homework was to go as far as I could on the treadmill in 30 min. I have to say this sucked! It was the longest 30 mins of my life, I am used to working out on the treadmill but at such a high intensity. I had to do a combination of run/jog/walk but I did the best I could. My max speed was 5.5 on the treadmill and lowest was 3.9. I went a total of 2.3 miles in 30 minutes...so not horrible but definately tons of room for improvement.

Today we learned our strength training circuit and I know my legs will be very sore tomorrow!

The baseline testing we had to do was
-As many pushups as we could (real push ups on your toes)= I did 7 (put didn't go down super far)
-As many sit ups as we could in 30 sec with someone holding our feet= I did 20
-Hold the plank position as long as we could--- I made it 1 min 25 sec

Then we learned our circuit and had to partner up, I partner with a man named Frank, he seemed nice enough, I think he wil make a good partner. not sure if we will always have the same partner, probably as long as we are both there. The class is mostly women with 2 or 3 guys

So other than the fact that I am still having problems sleeping and now coming down with Izzy's cold I am hanging in there. I am looking forward to when my body gets used to the new crazy early routine and hoping that this cold doesn't get any worse.We should have our meal plans from the nutritionist on Friday although since it will be similar to my TEAM weight loss class I have a good idea of what to expect. Biggest challenge with the meal plan is to eat 5 times a day and stick within my carb serving allowance. So we will she what she comes back with.

Okay now i have to drink some of this coffee and hope it perks me up a bit!
