NSVs and metabolic testing results

omma_to_3

Two NSVs this week.

The first is that I am the client of the month at my trainer's studio! They put a write up in their newsletter and on their blog: http://wildly-fit.com/fitness-success-meet-holly/

The second is my best 5K time to date. I was hoping to get under 30 minutes but it was wet and muddy so I didn't make it. Still a PR though. I came in 5th out of 39 in my age group and 99th overall out of between 400 and 500. My time was 31:23 though the distance was 3.18 miles. So would have been 30.59 for a true 5K. Maybe next time I can come in under 30!

Finally, I had my RMR and BF tested again in a lab. Since March, my BF has gone from 34% to 30.9% though I only lost about 7.5 lbs in that time. It was all fat. I maintained my LBM. Yay! My RMR is 1521 - down from 1662 in July of 2012. It's still tracking about 10% higher than online calculators so I'm happy with that too!

Now if I can just get the last 15 lbs and another 5% body fat off!

That is so awesome! I'm especially impressed with your BF and LBM changes! You have been working hard!!

The BF changes make me feel better about my slow losses lately! It's been a rough road since May. I've mostly maintained since then due to a lot of personal stuff. Trying to get back on track!

Good for you. Keep the LBM and losing just the fat is hard and quite an achivement.
