Flowriding

If you know me well, you know that I have not been a fan of activities where I'm wearing nothing more than a swimsuit. Neither do I enjoy looking foolish in public. Well this last week I did both. I went with two of my buddies to the Provo Beach Resort where we tried their Flowrider for the first time. I tried surfing maybe three or four times with little to no success. On one of the last unsuccessful attempts I hurt my neck so I was starting to feel resigned to failure. I tried once on the boogie board which was kind of fun but not difficult at all. So it kind of felt like a waste of time. So shortly before our time was up I decided it was time to try it again. I was glad that I did it. This time I stayed up for about a minute. Granted I was holding on to the rope the whole time but I was upright for a minute! Not only that but then I posted a video of myself on Facebook. Way to lose the fear! I am awesome!

Weighing In

I am liking weighing in on Friday mornings. Thursdays are usually pretty active days for me. Well yesterday I played racquetball for an hour with my brother and nephew. We only got two games in but I won them both. Then later that night I did 45 minutes of yoga with my buddy, Stephen. This morning when I weighed in I was pleased to see my lowest weight yet: 191 lbs! I am awesome!

Good Percentage!

So tonight after I finished my spin class with Bert (this was my first Bert class), he offered to measure body fat for anyone. I stuck around and was the last of those who wanted to get measured. It was worth the wait. He informed me that my body fat was 17.5%. That may not be exciting for you but for me it was! I believe when I took fitness for life at BYU my fat percentage was 18% and I was a 21 year old. So I may not be lean for a 43 year old but I am ideal. I am awesome!

Gym Time Overload

Spinning with my friend, Curt, at lunch. Racquetball with my brother, Ben, after work. And yoga with my friend, Stephen, too. 3 hours of gym time!

The results this morning was my new low weight: 191.5 lbs! I am awesome!

Going to New Lengths

Yesterday I signed up to run a half marathon. It's going to take some serious preparations. I've never run this far at once. I'm nervous but I am awesome!

Reaching New Lows

This morning I was pleased to stand on the scales and see that I had reached a new low weight. I weighed in at 193 lbs. Not sure how many decades its been since I've been this low. I am awesome!

Sunday Morning Run

This morning I woke up and did my normal weigh in. I was surprised to see that my weight was my lowest that I had weighed in with. That, combined with my increased energy with getting over being sick, inspired me to go out for a run. It wasn't my fastest or even close. I felt it was a great accomplishment having not run in a few weeks and having been laid up with sickness. Click here to see my run. I am awesome!
