30 days

i know it's Friday -- but i'm too excited to wait for "workout Wednesday"!!!

========Fitness Test 30 days ago========

1.  20 minutes on the treadmill to see how far i could go: 1.3 miles ( I mostly jogged small intervals between 4.5 and 4.0, stopping to walk 6 or 7 times) -- Not even on the chart -- below very poor

2 . 1 minute timed test (sit-ups): 19 - "fair" on the chart

3.  1 minute timed test (modified pushups): 20 - poor

4.  max i can leg press once: 240lbs - poor

5.  Max I can bench press once: 105lbs - poor

6.  % body fat: 39.9% - very poor

3 goals I set for the month:

• lose inches all around but especially in neck and waist
• feel more energy and healthier
• jog 1.5 miles only stopping at the very least twice.
