39.9

So since I gained week last week, I have been seeking more motivation. I saw a sign in the gym for a free 2-day fitness assessment from a personal trainer. I signed up and tonight was the first night.

After a 30 min health history, Matt (quite a cutie!) took all my measurements, weight, and body fat. So my measurements are nasty. I have never felt so disgusting. So the real number that shocked me is 39.9. That is my body fat percentage. My actual BMI is 37.4. I feel so super disgusting.

He did all these endurance tests with me. I did push ups and sit ups. Apparently I have a core. It was determined that if I really pushed myself I should easily be as in shape as I want to be. He actually told me if I got on the ball I could probably do it by Nov. I have my second day assessment on Mon. It includes a 2 mile run. OMG! I can't run. He said I could walk it, but I am going to go to the gym late these next few days and see what I can do.

  2. You shouldn't feel so disgusted dear. I'm far worse off than you and I haven't even had some of those measurements taken. The way I would think of it is that, that is what my measurements/percentages WERE. They will soon be crawling their way down to what I want them to be. Meanwhile I probably couldn't do a real sit up to save my life. I'll stick to crunches, leave the sit ups to those with strong cores. :P

  3. Why can't gyms have old retired nurses doing the measurements instead of cute guys ;-)
