Reflection

I think the main thing I've learned is how to keep my goals.  I got behind a few times but that was just on the computer work.  In exercising I stayed very consistent.
I really like having a routine that I follow every day.  It made my day go smoother.
I have actually enjoyed running every day.  It kind of gives me a break from school. It gets me moving and awake.  I really liked it.
My main goal was to gain weight, which I did, a little.  I need to continue to work on it though.

I think I will continue to run every day.  It was actually fun.  I don't know if I will continue my whole fitness plan, mainly just the running and a pull-up here and there. :)

Post fitness test and my weight

At the beginning of this class I weighed 96 lbs.  I now weigh 98.6 lbs.  So I guess I gained a little bit of weight but not as much as I wanted.  I still think I need to gain more, but I'll keep on working on that.

Curl-ups-27 (lower than last time)
Shuttle run-12.3 (still worse)
Endurance run/walk-11 min. 34 sec. (although I have made it in 10 min. and 24 sec.)
Pull-ups-1 (I actually got one!)
V-sit reach-1 (better)

My first results

Curl ups-31
V-sit reach- To the line
Shuttle run-12.1 seconds
Pull-ups/push-ups-0
Endurance run/walk- 14 minutes and 43 seconds

I'm pretty happy with the results, but I didn't improve on the curl-ups and the shuttle run.
I still want to improve on those things and fitness in general even though the class is over.

Food feelings

I've been eating really well this week.  Not so well on the vitamins though.  I'll try better on the vitamins next week.

* Calories burned are estimates only for an average person performing the activity.

**Moderate Intensity Equivalent (MIE) Minutes:
Every minute of vigorous activity counts as two minutes of moderate activity.
For example, 30 minutes of vigorous activity is equivalent to 60 MIE minutes.
 
Light intensity activity and activity less than 10 minutes in duration do not count toward MIE minutes. Although, any activity is always better
than none!

I think I did really good this week. I made a mile in 11 minutes!!!! Part of my motivation is
that we got an eliptical last week, so I think that helped.
