Hello all. I've never posted on a check-in board so excited to start this challenge and be held accountable.
About me: I am 45, married, and work pt as a page in a library. I get quite a bit of exercise at work carrying and shelving books but feel my endurance could be better. I am 5'9 and 130lbs; with my scale showing ~ 25% bodyfat. I would love to get that bodyfat % way down and loose about 5 lbs.
I started working out in August when we moved from being stagnant in a small travel trailer into a half constructed house. I get-up at 4am to get breakfast/lunch for DH and want to be able to stay up more often when he leaves to do my workouts then work on more crafts/home projects.
I am waiting for BFL book at the library so I can reread and follow more closely. I need to drink more water; concentrate on protein, veggies, and fruit; and mostly STOP with the junk from Xmas. Holy Cow. There were several plates a day of cookies, fudge, and candy at work tempting me.
DH is tall, thin, and has a very physical job so I am constantly trying to get good food into him to gain. His idea of good gaining food is desserts. Having hard time resisting these; try to just take tiny bit.
For workouts, I am thinking of following a weekly rotation of 3 days a week of Pyramids, 4Day weights, S&H, and GS. Then the other 3 workout days are a rotation of AWT, step, and cardio. Rest or lite yoga on day 7.
Today did PLB and a 10 Abs Diet ab workout. Also, on weight days I try to do 3 sets of toe push-ups on the 3rd step of staircase and a couple attempts at reverse pull-ups on bar. Some day I will do a pull-up and a chin-up.
Well, will write again tomorrow.
