Nearly half lard

Today I had my body fat percentage measured and it was a scary thing. It was also a good thing because it gives me a baseline with which I can track my progress.The number? An anything but svelt 43.7%. Oh well--I'm sure it was worse 18 pounds ago. I'll get it remeasured once a month and keep myself honest by broadcasting it to the world here.

The exercize binge continues--I need to get back into the habit of regular physical activity, and since the amorous kind isn't on the menu at the moment, its the gym to the rescue. Today I swam 9 laps (1/4 mile), then grabbed the pool weight and did a bunch of isometric exercizes to tone my arms, abs, and legs. Since Monday entailed 9 laps followed by an hour long water aerobics class, and yesterday was the cross trainer, you could say I am definitely feeling the burn. Its a good thing though, since I'm sore enough to feel it, but not so full of lactic acid that I can't move.
