I weighed in this morning, but failed to take a pic of the scale, so official weigh-in will be next week. The number was 192.0, so .8 more pounds down, which is good, considering my slacker-ness last week, and cookie eating this weekend. But that is all behind me as i only ate 1270 calories today and hit up the gym after work and it was awesome! I have been watching "I used to be Fat" on MTV (yes, there is not a show on MTV that i won't watch!) and on last weeks episode, there was this kid doing the high intensity interval cardio training, and he did his sprints at 7% incline, 7.0 speed, and then did 8% and 8.0... all the way up to 10%, 10.0 speed. I thought i would try this today... and all i can say is NOT POSSIBLE!!!! My first sprint i did at 4% incline and 7.0 speed... and almost threw up while at the same time almost fell off the treadmill. So, i scaled back for my last 4 sprints to 3% incline and 7.0 speed. OH MY GOD... i almost didn't make it through my last sprint!!!!! Interestingly my results were a 253ft. climb and 1.45 miles in 30 minutes.
i will keep trying, because i cannot believe that MTV would ever lie to me, but if i ever get to even a 10% incline at 7.0 speed (i can't do anything at a 10.0 speed) i will consider that the same as meeting a leprechaun! :-)
