Goal Weight: 195
The good news: In 12 weeks, my cholesterol has dropped from 162 to 152, my waist from 41 inches to 36, my blood pressure from 140/80 to 112/70 & HR from 71 to 52.
The bad news? It is that it’s looking more likely I have a stress fracture in my lower leg (I won’t know for sure unless I get a bone scan). So, it will be time to alter my workouts a bit after the program is over. And I’m sick about it, to be honest. But being sick about something that has happened is no way to make progress. So I have a plan. I’ll run the 5K and then retire from running temporarily. Then I’ll hit my spin bike that sits in my bedroom. I own a road bike, but will look at used mountain bikes so I can ride some with my sons. I want to have that time with them.
Smart thinking. Sounds like a good plan.
