This was another typical summer week, as far as exercise
goes. It started out spotty, but I was
able to finish strong, hitting the gym Friday through Sunday. Saturday’s workout went particularly well. I think that I did pretty well with my
diet this week.
I got back on the elliptical machine again. I was surprised to find that I couldn't maintain my old pace. Other than that, I
was able to get through the session with no problem.
I added some new tunes to my workout playlist. It's amazing how much of a difference the right music makes when I'm working out.
Here's another fitness article that caught my eye. It discusses a recent study about the
negative health effects caused by the rise in inactivity in the U.S.
population. It also includes a video
titled, “The Truth About Fat.”

It’s Lack of Exercise—Not Calories—That Make Us Fat, Study
Says
The Stanford University researchers looked at NHANES data
over the last 20 years, and found that the number of U.S. women who reported
doing no physical activity went from 19.1% in 1994 to 51.7% in 2010. For men,
the number increased from 11.4% in 1994 to 43.5% in 2010. During the same time
frame, the average BMI of men and women also went up.

Wednesday, July 23rd, will mark my eighteen month
on this journey. I plan on posting a
critique on my progress so far.
Hope to
see you then!
