Didn't do my exercise yesterday. Maybe I just need more variety, because I started to dread the exercising session, and I used to enjoy it for the first week. Since there's a million and one ways to exercise, there's no reason to do something that makes you miserable. I'm going to shelve Slim-in-6 for now and go to a group class at my gym today. SI6 has so far at least advanced me enough that I'm confident I can make it through a group class. The ones I want to try are:
Turbo Kick Box
Zuma
Power Sculpt
Advanced Step
Everlast Shadow Box
Amp'd Abs
Cardio Dance Party
24 S.E.T.
Step Jam 24
24LIFT
Have NO interest in Yoga, Pilates, Pilates Fusion, and 24Cycle (not fit enough to do the cycling class yet, maybe in the future).
Today I have to decide between Turbo Kick Box and Zuma. That's 10 classes so that's a lot of variety, and I guess classes would vary somewhat from class to class for some of them.
Still eating about 1500 calories a day. Maybe I won't post food logs daily. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's a chore. I'll post one now and then.
I did read 201 at home and I started at 215, so that's 14lbs in 7 weeks.

Measurements.
This is where all the measurements will go.
Five weeks in between, four weeks of gym and one week of Slim-in-6.
07/09/2009->08/13/2009
Went to my 3rd of 4 training sessions today and instead of exercising I asked her to look over my food logs and measurements. Five weeks apart:
Skinfold measurements
Weight = 215.2lbs->207.4lbs
Fat % = 38.8%->35%
Fat Mass = 83.5->72.59
Lean Body Mass = 131.7->134.81
Bi = 18->13
Tri = 25->17
Subscap = 36->32
Illiac = 34->28
Age/Sex Factor = 8
Circum. Measurements
Neck = 13.5->13.5
Chest = 50->48 :(
Upper Arm = 12.75->11.25
Forearm = 8.5->8.5
Waist = 49.5->48
Hip = 48->44
Thigh = 19->17.5
Calf = 15->13.5
Trainer says I should be happy with those numbers. My stomach is being the slowest to budge, it seems. She says that 3.8% body fat lost in 5 weeks is good.

This wasn't a regular day for me. I did some errands and slept the rest of the time. I didn't do my exercise (I will go seven days instead of 6 for weeks three and four of Slim in 6 to make up for it) and I didn't eat much, not on purpose. It just happened.

Slim-In-Six, Weeks 1-2 Sun Aug 2 2009 - Aug 15 2009
I missed two workouts. I made one up on Saturday August 15th, working out on my "off" day, and another one right now Sunday morning right before pictures, so that I got 12 workouts. Need one more workout tonight to count for Sunday and I'm good.
I skipped Start It Up! and did 6 workouts of Ramp It Up! and six workouts of Burn It Up!
Bought a Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor.
Saturday 8/15/2009
Time 54:38
652 calories
35% fat (whatever that means)
Max 173 / 92%
Average 149 / 79%
Sunday 8/16/2009 morning make-up session for week ending 8/15/2009
53 mins
596 cal
45% fat
Max 163/86%
Average 142/75%
I burned 56 calories less today than yesterday :( Fat greatly increased, though, although I have no idea what that setting means. Heart rates went down which I think is good. Same exercise, lower rate == better health.
At the gym I was doing an average of 200 calories per half hour. With Burn It Up I do around 337 calories per half hour.
According to the 24 Hour Fitness Calculator I burn 2288 calories a day living. If you divide by 24 and multiply by 23, that's 2192 + whatever I burn exercising.

Started 7/3
Pre-Slim-In-Six, weeks 1-4
This was the transition from no exercise at all to exercise, and from eating junk to eating right. Lots of learning, lots of tweaking, lots of discovering.
I started going to the gym on 7/3 and for the first 21 days I went EVERY day. Started with 20 mins of cardio and alternated upper and lower body weights and did abs and back every day. Then went to 30 mins of cardio, same weights. After 21 days I started working out 2 days, resting 1 day, etc, alternating upper and lower body weights on the two days I went to the gym, doing 30 mins cardio both days and abs and back both days.
On 8/2 I stopped going to the gym. I started doing Beach Body's Slim-in-6, a 6-week DVD program.
Start It Up! - 25 mins
Ramp It Up! - ~44 mins
Burn It Up! - 53 mins
I skipped SIU, did RIU for a week, and did BIU for a week, and will do it for the remaining 4 weeks. I skip the Yoga part. I hate yoga. There's so many ways to lose weight that I refuse to be miserable while doing it. So I do 53 mins of the hour-long program.
I took pictures before starting (after 4 weeks of gym), and after 2 weeks of SI6. I'm on day 3 of my seventh week of exercising.
