Day 7: Week 1 draws to a close
Well, this is the final day of the first week of the Coastal Point Health-Tech Challenge, and while we’re seeing progress in the wrong direction on the scale and with Wii Fit’s BMI calculations, I’m happy with my progress thus far. I definitely feel more fit and like this is a habit I will be able to continue into the coming months and likely beyond.
It helps to wake up each morning and know that I have a sort of appointment with the balance board, and once you’ve gotten on the balance board, it’s hard to get off it without at least a basic workout.
The soreness of yesterday has lessened, so I’m also starting to see what I believe are some basic improvements in my fitness level that will keep me moving in the right direction. I’m keeping up with the basic workout I described yesterday, as a quick version I can manage to squeeze in most mornings. But I’m looking also to get a new set of scales with a body fat measuring device built in, so it’s less of a shock when the scale keeps going up — that way, I’ll know for sure when it really is due to new muscle.
