I have something to do this evening, so I went ahead and did my "FitTest" this afternoon. I have had vast improvements in ALL of the exercises!! I was very excited to see all of the new numbers!!
Just as a reminder of what the fit test is....There are 8 exercises that are done for a minute a piece. I'm not sure how long the break is in between, but I think it's like a minute and a half. I will post the exercise (my best explanation of that exercise), my first attempt's number, and my second attempt's number (today's number).
Switch Kicks (kick one knee up at a time to belly button level, and kick the leg out) 1st-59 2nd-70
Power Jacks (jumping jacks with a squat when your legs are apart) 1st-37 2nd-45
Power Knees (bring one knee up to belly button level, as arms come to meet the leg, all at an angle) 1st-60 2nd- 65
Power Jumps (jump up while bringing your knees up, wide set) 1st-13 2nd-20
Globe Jumps (jump right, back, left, and forward, like a circle kinda. one rotation equals 1) 1st-5 2nd-8
Suicide Jumps (jump back in to a push up position, bring knees back to hands, and jump up) 1st-9 2nd-12
Push-Up Jacks (push-ups, legs spread as you go down, bring them together when you get to the top) 1st-8 2nd-16!!!
Low Plank Oblique (holding a plank position on your elbows, bring one knee up to the side toward your shoulder, then switch legs) 1st-32 2nd-47
I am very excited with my progress! Not only that, but i weighed this morning and I entered "the next dimension!!!" I won't weigh again until Sunday, but I just had to check in one more time!!! lol
This afternoon I made some turkey chili, and it turned out really well. It actually tasted just like my normal chili! As you all know, you can't make a little chili, so we'll be eating on it all week! But that's ok because it is VERY low fat!!
Tonight I am meeting with some friends at The Outback, so I've already scoped out the online menu and I am prepared with a couple of ordering options. That is something that I have definitely started to really do. If I know that I am going to be eating at a restaurant, I try to look online and have an idea of what I am going to order, that way I am not tempted by other items on the menu. I'll let you know tomorrow how well I curb my temptations, because I'm sure appetizers will be ordered and thrown in my face. I so don't want to be "that person" who is the anal eater (ok, that sounds way gross...lol). What I mean is, I have been around people who make me feel uncomfortable when they are "on a diet." They are so anal about what they eat that they inadvertently make me feel gross about what I am eating. I hope that makes sense to everyone...I don't want to be that person....so...
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend (especially those of us who go extra long ones!!) Have a blessed week!!
Great results! Keep it up!
