Today I went back to my attempting my new goal: to gain muscle mass and lose body fat. I was told last week that in order to do that I need to lift weights, calastenics, and do sprints. To give myself something to work towards I have set my sites on the Navy Physical Readiness Standards for women my age. Haha - why I think I can reach military standards, I am not sure, but we will see if it works.
I jogged 1.5 miles in a new record time for myself: 15:17 minutes.
1st lap, 5:07 min
2nd lap 10:19min
3rd lap 15:17min
After that I went to the gym in my complex and did 30 reps on each of the machines. With the arm machines I did 20 pounds and with the legs I did 40 pounds. I also did 35 sit-ups with the sit up machine and 15 very bad ones without the machine. I also did a little bit of stretching. I need to work more on the sit-ups and then eventually I need to try to tackle push-ups. My fiance suggests that I get an excersise ball - says it is a better way to do sit-ups. I will have to look into it soon. :)

In May, 2010 I decided to become a Jogger. I was doing it to lose the 8% of body fat that I need to in order to be considered "lean" and to jog my first 5k. In October, 2010 I met one of my goals and jogged my first 5k! In 2011, I jogged my 2nd 5k and my first ever 10k!! My goal for 2012 has switched from a focus on jogging to a focus on muscle building so that I can get closer to my 8% goal!
