My Health Week in Review

3 Comments

I find a good way to keep myself honest and on track is to write about where I am each week. As such here’s a review of my health this week.

Push-ups

I finally completed Week 4 of my pushup program today. Truth be told, I’m getting pretty sick of push-ups at this point. Going to the dentist might be more fun. So when it comes down to it, I find myself postponing the push-ups as long as I possibly can. On Monday, I’ll try to motivate myself to do the exhaustion test, but as you can tell, the initial excitement has worn off and it’s starting to grind on me.

Body Stats

I had an unprecedented weirdness in measuring this today. The Tanita scale that I have says that I weight 171.5 pounds and 21% body fat. The Omron scale originally said that I was 6.7% fat. After I congratulated my wife for marrying Hercules, I decided to retest. The next three tests came in between 14-15%. Taking the higher range, it looks like I fall in line at 171.5 and 18% body fat. That’s in line with where I’ve been in the past, so I don’t feel that’s a stretch.

Nutrition

I ate really well for about 4 of the 7 days this week. Those 4 days where actually pretty close to my ideal eating goals. The other three days weren’t bad, but they were more on pace with the average – one splurge meal in each of them that included an item or two that wasn’t particularly healthy.

Exercise

It was a very middle of the road week for me here as well. It wasn’t like a couple of weeks ago where I hit the pool every day and got all the push-ups in. I did get some significant exercising in, but it needs to get back to that previous level.
