Fitness Update—Week 3
This is my weekly fitness updates. I’ll be posting one every Monday for the foreseeable future.
I update a shared iCloud spreadsheet every day. Follow along!
Weight & BMI
Finally! The increased activity is showing results.
Today’s weight: 190.4 lbs. with a BMI of 28.1.
Date | Weight | +/- | BMI | Fat |
---|---|---|---|---|
March 23 | 191.8 | 0 | 28.3 | 37.1% |
March 30 | 190.1 | -1.7 | 28.1 | 40.0% |
April 6 | 192.6 | +2.5 | 28.4 | 36.0% |
April 13 | 190.4 | -2.2 | 28.1 | 34.2% |
Note: the fat mass reading is inconsistent. It’s just the way the scale works. I’m including for the sake of completeness.
Blood Pressure
This weeks reading: 120⁄90 with a pulse of 85.
I took my BP after having a large coffe this morning. I need to remember to do it earlier.
The eventual goal is my normal 110⁄70. More exercise is needed.
Steps
This is a screenshot of my weekly report from the Jawbone weekly email report.
I hit my step goal every day except Wednesday this past week. This is about what I planned. I knew it would a take a few week to get in the swing of walking everyday. This will work out when I raise the goal to 7,000 for the next four week block.
According to my spreadsheet I need to increase my daily step count to 6,649 to average 6,000 steps/day for this month. That’s looking to be within my range for this week.
Sleep
I’m getting better about keeping a consistent bedtime. I also made my 7 hour sleep goal twice.
Snacking
My meal times have been inconsistent. So that means some days I ate four times, other twice. I need to plan meals better.
Summary
I haven’t been measuring but some clothes are starting to fit better. This week went well, and getting the walking in is easier. Like everything, it takes practice.
