Ok, so I've decided to do the American Heart Association's "Better U."  It's a 12 week program designed to help women lose weight and get healthy.  I don't need to lose that much weight but I DO need to get in shape.  So here we go.

Before-in-Numbers:
BMI: 22.4 (so that's "healthy weight", but just barely)
Weight: 131 lbs
Height: 5"4'
Heart rate: 83 BPM. I kept taking this over and over trying to make it go down (but it didn't). This is juuuuust past "healthy" range.
Blood pressure: I'll let you know when I know.
Waist line: 32 inches

BOOT CAMP Results:
Push-ups (per min): 29.5 (I only get half a point for that last one because it was more a desperate attempt to get to 30 push-ups before time ran out and a epic fail at that...)
Sit-ups (per min): I did 20 with 2 seconds left and instead of fighting for that last one I laid down all gaspy and out of breath. Ugh.
Dips (per min): 19. First time ever doing those devils and I hated them. Congrats. I probably didn't go down as far as I needed to but ... I tried.
Plank:  I can hold it for a little over a minute. Like a 1.10. And dying.
Running: I can run a mile in 10 minutes. I know this to be true. (That's what playing soccer for 4 years can do to you.) And I have to go pick up my little sisters from school VERY SOON so I'm not putting it to the test (right now).

I don't know my cholestoral and glucose and THOSE WEIRD CHEMICALLY NUMBERS stuff because I didn't go to the actual doctor to get these numbers. (I did use Wii Fit to find my BMI and weight, though.)

My goals? I want to lose 10 pounds. TEN POUNDS. That's not too much to ask. AND more than anything I want to be healthier. That's the breaking point for my decision. I'm still in college, so I exercise very half heartedly and make poor eating decisions, and my WEIRD CHEMICALLY NUMBERS and heart rate are probably terrible. So that's why I'm joining in on this quest. Looking forward to this adventure!

I will post on the roadtrip later.
