I'm back from my quick California trip. 3 days of fun-filled adventure. We went to LA Union Station, rode the subway to Hollywood and saw the Chinese theater, the Hollywood hills sign, went to Hollywood and Vine, Chinatown, the beach, the harbor. It was all fun! It wasn't at all what I was expecting. I let myself eat whatever I was hungry for. We were so busy that there wasn't time for snacking. I did have regular Pepsi and Dr. Pepper though. We ate at Philippe's (a famous French dip sandwich shop), authentic Chinese food in Chinatown, a seafod place in the harbor with an AWESOME salsa bar! It was great. I weigh-in tomorrow, but did a quick check this morning and had only gained 1.2 lbs. I was going to fast today, but I am not good at that, but I am back to recording what I eat. Only 2 weeks until our trip to the lovely (oil-filled) beaches of FL.

So I went to see my Wellness Coach today (a health program thing at work). I last saw him in November and weighed in then at 156. (I gained 7 more pounds over Christmas!) I wanted a body fat assessment to see if my goal of 135 is correct. They have one of those handheld body fat analyzers. I weighed in today at 138! My body fat % was 29.9; in November it was 34%. I thought it would be a lot less! So I was disappointed. He said that body fat is more gradual. I am just now in a normal weight range and that 135 to 138 might be just perfect for now. He recommended doing less cardio (perhaps 2 days per week) and working on strength training (weights) at least 3 times per week. He said that will bring my body fat down to around 25%. A woman's body doesn't want to be below 22% Healthy is 22 to 29%. So I am just now at healthy. He said he has marathon runners come in weighing 119 lbs but have body fat of a little over 30%. He has a hard time convincing them that the reason is because too much cardio and not enough weight training. Their body is holding onto the fat because it realizes that the marathon running is needing it for fuel. Interesting huh? I'm pretty happy with the whole discussion, but I enjoy bike riding so much more than weight lifting and circuit training. :)
