A day in my life: Friday February 12th 2010

Weight Challenge week 6-2010

Starting weight: 89.2 kg (196.6 lbs).
Target weight: 70 kg (154 lbs).
Current weight: 79.3 kg (174.8 lbs).

This weeks result: -0.5 kg (- 1.1 lbs)
Total loss: – 9.9 kg (21.8 lbs)

Fat percentage: 41.1 (last week 41.7)
Muscles percentage: 30.2 (last week 30.2)
BMI: 26.5 (last week 26.7)

This week I’ve managed to lose 0.5 kg (1.1 lbs) despite the gain of more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs) over the weekend so I’m happy with that result.

Thoughts:
Eventually R. got home by 11 pm, he has been on the road for 5,5 hours to get home. When he almost got home he had to stop for a railway crossing but the road was very icy and when he hit the brakes the car didn’t stop so he hit the gate. His window cracked through that. Luckily he could drive further and didn’t stand still on the railway crossing. He was stressed after it happened but made it home safe. I’m happy it was just damage on the car and that he was fine.

I signed in for a race next Sunday: a cross run throught the woods but got an email today that it was cancelled due to the weather. This is my second race this year that’s cancelled because of snow and icy roads. I’m sick and tired of the snow.

So my plan of 12 months, 12 runs is not really working, however I don’t see it as failed because I will do 2 runs in March and look for another run somewhere this year to make up for the cancelled run on Sunday. My goal is still to do 12 runs this year.

Exercise:
One day of rest became two days of rest and I’m feeling great again now. My body really needed it I suppose. So I’ll stick for now to my plan of 2 days workout (sometimes 3) in a row and 1 day of rest.

Today I had planned a run but the roads are still icy here so running outside wasn’t such a good idea. Instead I went to the gym to run on the treadmill. To make it interesting I choose a program with hills for 35 minutes. Never done hills training before and it was though from time to time but I made it and the run wasn’t that boring this way.

Stats:
Weather: inside
Distance: 4.7K / 2.9 miles
Time: 35:00
Average speed: 7.27 /km

What’s for dinner:

Positive today:
Weekend has started!
