40 Days of My Body: Day 8

September 25, 2009

WOW! First day I almost overslept–body is TIRED, brain is on fire. Big props to Alisa, Suzie, Julie and Sheila for rocking their own 40 Day challenges–who else is making a commitment? Tell us about it!

Some of you asked for stats, so here they are (combo of this week and last):
resting HR: 65
weight: 164
body fat: 40%
workout HR range: 130-163
food stuff: keeping daily journal, adding in caloric values next week
day off: Sundays
What else are you curious to know? Happy to share (almost) anything.

What did you do for YOU today?

Traci: I don't eat b4 workouts, but very occasionally have a small protein powder+juice swig before I go. Right now--my workouts kind of push my hurl button and seem to go better w/o food (especially b/c they are at 5-630am). Amy: thanks for sharing the perspective on body diversity and public discussion of same--I wondered whether the info would be useful or more navel gazing or just off-putting to people, but there it is. HOORAY for the ultimate self-care--That will be amazing to have good consistent support for all that you do.

Carabunga: go where you least expect yourself to go---and then let me know what you commit to. Thanks for even considering your own challenge.

This makes me want to do my own 40 day challenge! But what to tackle? Healthy eating habits, frugality, or productivity? Hmm....

OK, Dy, I am in AWE of your courage, authenticity and balls to post your weight and body fat publicly. OH MY GOODNESS! I am floored by this. I think as women we are so programmed to think we are supposed to weigh 110 pounds (at least that is the way I feel) and I learned so much when I was a weight watchers about true, normal, healthy weights. You are SO inspiring!

For me, today, I'm reaching out to hire and PAY a great assistant. This is an act of radical self-care.

I'm off to hop onto The Women Masters Coaching Program call. YES! Hope to see you there.

Dyana, what's your favorite pre-workout meal? Or are you a get up and go/I'll eat later sort of girl?
