Fact of the Day: the magnetic compass was invented in China around 2000 years ago
I was just watching Weird Or What? and that little fun fact was shared with the tv viewers so I thought I’d share it with you just because. 🙂
So in the past 4 days I have exercised 6 times – how crazy weird is that? I don’t know if this is something I can maintain but I think I am gonna try. 🙂 I used to make a tentative goal of exercising every second day, then once I was maintaining that fairly decently I upped the ante to exercising in some way everyday, now I am thinking of changing that exercise goal to hiking at least 5 times a week, going to boxerfit at least twice and once my dragon boating season is over upping the boxerfit to 3 or more times a week. I think it is doable…maybe…lol
Here is how my exercising went this week:
Monday – on the road, did nothing
Tuesday – hiked
Wednesday – hiked and went to boxerfit
Thursday – boxerfit
Friday – hiked and dragon boated
Fairly decent. 🙂
And what’s even better is that Tuesday thru Friday I ate my daily points and only the occaisional exercise point – this of course is in an effort to make up for the Saturday Sunday and Monday where I was in AB and road tripping back to BC.
I’m not sure how my weigh in will turn out since I ate so badly two weeks ago and did no exercise and part of this past week was a continuation of that. I’m hoping my upping the exercise and being really careful with the food will help to counter act all of that but here’s where confusion may happen. If I am up on the scale is it fat or muscle? I have no idea how I am supposed to figure that out…*confused face* Ah well, weigh in isn’t until Sunday cause I have a photo shoot Saturday at noon so I’ll be up and out of the house way earlier then my normal weigh in time so looks like I have an extra day to wonder how the scale will treat me…*rolls eyes*

The only way I think you would no if a gain is due to fat or muscle might be if you took your body fat % regularly. Not sure though. The only thing I can recommend is to drink lots of water today and flush your system in case you are retaining any water. Good luck tomorrow! I am sure it will be better than you expect.
I think figuring out my body fat will be too complicated for me, I’ll google it though and see what I would have to do, who knows, maybe it is easier then I think. 🙂 Thanks for the water tip! I sunburned myself pretty badly yesterday so I have been downing fluids like you wouldn’t believe in an attempt to make it up to my body, lol, and to help it heal. My weigh in was so much better then I expected, yah! 😀
