Last night I had my first meeting with my health coach, who also happens to be my sister-in-law. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was a fantastic meeting. She affirmed a lot of what I'm already doing nutrition wise and offered some great tweaks and suggestions for improvement. The thing I liked the most is she focused not only on the action, but the WHY. She believes that all aspects of you life need to be in order for you to attain optimal health and fitness. Today we talked a little bit more about my future goals, why I have them, and the steps I need to start taking to attain them. She was 110% supportive and its great to know she has my back. I'm already looking forward to our next meeting!
In other news, I finally broke down and bought a body fat meter. I clocked in at 28.1%, which while higher than I expected, is still firmly in the 'average' category. M y short term goal is sub 24% (the 'fitness' zone) and long term is sub 20% (the 'athlete' zone). I'm not beating myself up over it; its nice to have a baseline and a tangible thing to use to track my progress.
Up this weekend: Dirty Girl Mud Run tomorrow!! I'm completing it with my other sister-in-law and a girl from work. I'm super excited about it...and am also hoping not to injure myself again! Tomorrow night my SIL and I are going out on the town for a girl's night. Sunday is the normal food prep routine.
Have a happy, healthy weekend all!
