Friday Measurements & Weigh In

I've decided Fridays will be my weigh in days.  I'll be able to see how my week impacted my shape and it won't include the possible "But its the weekend" diet slip-ups.

Weight:: 150

Waist:: 31.5
Hips:: 39
                 80.7% ratio "Ideal"
Chest:: 35
Calves:: 15
Thigh:: 24
Neck:: 13
Forearms:: 9.5
Biceps:: 11
Wrist:: 6

Bodyfat:: 26.61%; "Acceptable"; 2.61% away from "Fit"
BMI:: 27.4, "Overweight"; 2.4 units away from "Normal"

Instead of using the website I've already mentioned for calculating bodyfat and BMI, I'm using a (you guessed it!) phone app called Body Monitor.  I like it because instead of calculating bodyfat by BMI, height and age, which does not account for muscle, it uses the measurements I input every week, which I like to think gives a more accurate portrayal of my ratio, and it does all the work for me!

Workouts today included 15 minutes on the elliptical and 10 minutes of Daily Arm Workout.  They've changed the app since I last used it and now has a "Randomize" feature, so I wasn't prepared to write down the exercises and my reps, but I will know for next time.  I was not so motivated to work myself very hard today as it was the second day this week that my hip flexors were incredibly sore.

So I woke up a little sore from my HIIT yesterday; I think the push ups did it, because when I tried to do push ups for my home workout today I could barely do it.  It feels good though, and I might be mistaken but I think I see more definition in my arms.

Today's free workout on my phone was pretty good-- again it was hard while I was doing it, but after a rest I felt fine.  I found out that I can't do clapping push ups yet, and contrary to popular belief, I cannot hold even a one minute plank.  I am giving myself 2 weeks to build up to a one minute plank.  The Ides of March shall be my progress check. Bring it!
