So here we are - another follow up to the progress of this journey. I was a bit disappointed looking at the scale and seeing that it had actually gone up a bit. I have been hitting the gym pretty hard in order to build core strength and tone up and make myself better fit. So I got an assessment done at the gym and the results made me happy. I gained 2 pounds on the scale but actually lost 10 pounds of fat since the last body composition analyzation.

So this test was to see where I am overall fitness wise and see where my weakness that I need to work on are.

the scale you see below is out of 100 - so if I scored a 35 that means that out of 100 people my sex, my age, 65 of them would score better than me.

Just as I thought - i still need to work on body fat/BMI. I also need to work on flexability (I knew this going in)

I was, however very surprised at how my VO2max has improved a LOT - it is 4.9l/min which is the best reading I have ever had (49.7 mkm)

I am still right on track to being where I want to be looking toward some races in September.

to all the people that are supporting my effort and helping me out along the way...a HUGE thank you.
