Here it is the weekend before Christmas. Are all presents wrapped and under the tree? I think I am ready. This is a special Christmas season for me. For one, I have my family all together this Christmas. Next is that the one person I care so much about is really working hard at getting in shape and taking care of herself. For her birthday this month I bought her a FitBit Force. Since then she has been incredible and working out every day.
A few weeks later I also bought one. I love it. I have set my goals pretty high. My minimum steps per day is set at 13000. Since the purchase I have met that goal and have been averaging about 18000. I have been working hard at maintaining my balance of in calories vs out calories. My weight is maintaining at 179 lbs. I do feel better everyday and I believe my body fat % is slowly coming down. For the next 3 weeks I will be working out harder than ever. I have another body fat measurement coming up the 15th of January. I am really hoping to hit my goal of 16% body fat and be down another 3%.
I have changed my routine quite a bit lately. I am still working out 6 days a week. On Tuesday and Thursdays, I do the new T25 workout. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I do bodyweight and weightlifting exercises. Targeting key body parts each of those days. On Saturday, I get in a long run or bike. Sunday is my recovery day, I still get in my 13000 steps but I do not go all out. 6 days a week I also get in a full ab routine in the morning before work. Occasionally I have been fitting in an extra aerobic workout right after work. With all the work I am putting in I am seeing the results. Life is too short to give up and get lazy and fat. God gives us a body to take care of. It does not honor Him when we don't take care of ourselves.
I have a few ideas of what I may be getting for Christmas. But no matter what I get, I already have what I need. I have a loving wife and great kids. I love my job and i have a wonderful home. What more could make me happy. Nothing.
