Wednesday, Oct 9th: today I ran two miles on the track (that's one more mile than I usually run!) I feel that I'm either improving my oxygen exchange system or I'm learning good pacing (or both!) Then I went through our strength circuit and increased on every weight except the shoulder press which I maintained. Good cardio workout ahead of time may be improving my strength circuit performance. I don't stress about the weights too much; I just focus on dialing in my weights to make sure that I'm just barely finishing two sets of 8. I use a +/- notation on my chart to indicate how many reps past the 16th rep I was able to do. If it's positive, I increase the weight next time. If it is negative, I decrease.
Short term goal: plan meals such that I bring lunch four out of five workdays on average. I have always believed (and MyFitnessPal tracking has proven it) that eating out causes me to overeat by about 400 calories. That's 2800 per week or 4/5 lbs/wk.
Medium term goal: I'd like to fit into the suit I would wear in college. I always looked so dapper in it.
Plus it's a better measure of body composition than weight. It takes into account hips, waist, and chest dimensions. I want to get leaner; if I lose weight in the process, that's fine too!
Long term goal: become a runner (run a marathon? That's not looking like such an impossibility anymore)
