So, this is my rest week and I've spent it resting and also taking short, but fun, mountain bike rides with my husband. We have great trails near our house so after work we can ride our bikes to the trails, ride for an hour and then be home in time to make dinner.
Yesterday the gym on the campus where I work had a staff health day, so I went to talk to a personal trainer and get my body fat measure. They used an Omron (which I know isn't that reliable) and it clocked me at 23.3% with a BMI of 21.5. Hmph. It's not the worst number in the world but I'd certainly like to get it lower. I've been watching my diet much more closely this week, because I think that's the key. I eat well, but I think I'm just eating too much.
Oh! This is hilarious - In talking to the personal trainer I mentioned that I'd been lifting heavy and was doing a specific program. His response?
"Oh, yes, I've seen you lifting and you do lift heavy. However, if you want to see definition you should do lighter weight with high reps."
le sigh.
