~~Newbie Intro - today is my first day, woo-HOOOOOOOO Re: Re: Anyone starting Monday, Feb.13th?

[Guest guest]

G'Morning all! I actually joined a few weeks back, so that I could begin

educating myself about BFL. I've started on my official BFL voyage today,

and my plan is to remain on this ship forever :-). I've read both BFL as

well as BFL for Women this past month. I've purchased a MIO wrist monitor,

as well as a Tanita scale, a wrist blood pressure monitor, and a tape

measure of course, lol.

This morning, I had my protein drink for breakfast, as well as my

supplements. I just finished 30 minutes on my stationery bike. I rode 13.5

miles in 28 minutes. I rode with light tension at the rate of 28-32 MPH for

23 minutes. I then tightened the tension and rode 5 more minutes as a rate

of 15 - 18 MPH.

Here are my statistics...

Age 53 (ouch!)

Hgt 5'6.5 "

Wgt 170lbs

Size = 14

I haven't taken my measurements yet, but I will get that done today. I will

also try to get the courage to take a B4 photo, although I must admit, I'm

not excited about doing it, lol.

Last April, I weighed 148, and was a size 10 ( I was on my way to a size 8).

My goal is to return to a size 8, but more importantly to gain muscle and

improve my level of fitness. My biggest challenge will be dealing with my

arthritic knees.

I look forward to the leadership and motivation from our group leaders.

BFLer,
