I just wanted to give a shout out to my team. I think we did incredibly well. We came from behind and we're not far from the top. We may even win it, we'll have to see.
Mat, the Fitness Director, decided to do one more superfood, so this would be for the 9th week. This time, he chose chia seeds. This means I've had every one of the superfoods. Chia seeds are nothing new to me, I have them nearly every morning at breakfast. It's full of protein and omega 3. It's a choice that I can't argue with!
WOW! This had to be the most intense workout yet! My trainer told me right away today that he was gonna beat me up! He wasn't kidding, it was a challenging workout. If this doesn't flatten my abs, nothing will!
My trainer checked my body fat percentage and I lost between two to four mm in my abs. That means I'm getting leaner, more muscle! My chest and legs are very close to lean. I know my legs feel incredibly strong, definitely my strength is in my legs! He still wants my body fat percentage to go down and the weight will fall into place. I do think the abs are tightening but I probably obsess about it too much. The hard work is paying off though.
I haven't heard any updates from my team mates this week but hopefully they're doing well.
I'm on vacation this week on my way to Virginia but thought I would update about my challenge.
Picture this: June 2009. Fifty-five years old and at my highest weight ever. Recently laid off and feeling, well, not good! Join the local YMCA to swim because I’m too embarrassed to be seen in a gym.
Mat, the Fitness Director at the Northwest CT YMCA, posted his first superfood for the Fitness Commitment Challenge and it's blueberries.
This week isn't much of a challenge for me as I eat blueberries practically everyday. When looking at a list of super foods, it's probably hard to find one that I don't eat.
