Week 4 (Sept 11-17): This week starts the clean eating and
fitness challenge sponsored by my friend Barefoot Fit
Jess on Facebook. So I took all my measurements. It was a bit daunting but
I'm glad I did it.
Neck: 13.5"
Chest: 36"
Bicep: 12.5"
Waist: 32"
Hips: 42"
Thigh: 24.5"
Calf: 16"
Weight: 168lbs
Body fat: 30% (which is less than the high end 33% for acceptable healthy body fat percent for my age as described by HealthyForms.com)
Waist to Hip ratio: 0.76 (which is less than the high end 0.80 for acceptable healthy ratio as described by HealthForms.com)
Waist to Height ratio: 0.54 (which is slightly higher than the high end 0.50 for acceptable healthy ratio as described by WebMD.com)
Body Mass Index: 28 (which is considered overweight, a good bit higher than the high end 24.9 for acceptable healthy BMI as described by WebMD.com)
Resting Heart Rate: 72 beats per minute (which is the high end of "just fine" as described by Buzzle.com) The first week of the challenge I haven't put in my full effort. I did a couple days of slim in 6 ramp it up, then fell off the exercise wagon again. I have continued purposeful movement - walking and playing at the park but nothing that really gets my heart rate up or challenges my body. My (southern cooking) mom also came into town so I've half fallen off the clean eating wagon too. Doing good during the day but dinner is certainly not clean!
