New things in 2015...

It has been a while since I have giving an update on what is going on with me and my healthy journey. I figure it is time since we are starting a new with the year of 2015. All is going well and I am still working very hard. I have tried many new things over the past few months and my weight loss efforts have still stalled and I have even gained a few pounds. I really tried to behave over the Christmas and New Years holiday and I think I kept everything down the center of the road, with only a few tiny slip-ups, but well deserved.

I am still a member of Planet Fitness and will continue to go there when time permits, but the biggest news I have is that I have started participating in a group exercise at Roanoke Fit Body Boot Camp. It is a 30 minute high intensity, total body workout that keeps you moving the whole time and so far, has really kicked my butt each session. My single goal is to build lean muscle and that it is. I really do not know if I can contribute my temporary weight gain to building muscle, but my cloths continue to fit looser all of the time. I am still seeing physical changes in my body, and also seeing changes in how I perform when working out. It is not all about the number on the scale.

I do not really agree with the body mass index scale. I do believe it is outdated and does not truly reflect your over all health. These are the numbers at the beginning and current.

Starting BMI: 64.4
Current BMI: 40.2

I have never had my body fat percentage checked but finally did this week and it came back as: Body Fat Percentage: 33%. I would love to know what it was when I started but I would estimate that it was well over 50% by just looking at the BMI numbers above.

So I still have much work to do but I love the place I am at and the direction I am moving. I really enjoy this boot camp and how it is making me feel. I will try to update and keep posted as things progress.
