Fat Tracker

So people in our IT department like to gamble. As I have mentioned previously my work is doing a weight loss challenge. Along with that I am in a side competition. It was cooked up by members of our IT department. I am not sure how the whole breakdown works since it was created by an actuary, but I figured I would share my stats. As of the last weigh in on 3/26 I was 5th of 9, here are my fat stats.

Total Weight= 233.4
Body Fat= 27.9%
Remaining Target Fat Loss per Pounds= 46.4
Excess Lard as a % of weight= 19.9%

So if I lose 46.4 pounds of fat, I should be at 8% body fat.

The health coach thinks that my foot falling asleep was caused by a pinched nerve and that if it continues I should go see a chiropractor. I decided to change things up and run/walk today. My foot didn't fall asleep but my middle toe felt a little numb, which might mean I am pinching a nerve while working out. We will see what happens tomorrow.

I haven't crossed anything off the 30x30 yet. Though I have read some of My Side of the Mountain to Trevor, and all of the exercising I have been doing will lead to crossing more items off of my list. I have decided that I am going to try for the mile under 5:30 the weekend of my 28th birthday. I want to go back to my hometown and run it on my high schools track. I think that it would be a nice way to connect the past to the present. That is a little over a year away. I am fairly confident that if I can drop most of the weight I want to by the end of August, I can start training specifically for the mile. It will be harder to get some of the speed work in that I want to, I figure I can use the indoor track at the university for that if needed. That summer then I want to run the Triathlon, and with that take care of the mile swim.
