Non Scale Victory

So...yesterday as i was workin' it on the treadmill at the hancock location (all pretty people who don't actually sweat while doing cardio) and I realized this startling fact: my 1 mile time has gone from over 22 minutes to around 17 minutes (and this time includes my warm up where i'm walking slow for a minute or two, I haven't actually done a mile timed). My walking speed has increased from 3.0 to 3.6, and now I can run for a minute and a half at a speed of 5.7. Not bad eh? I can also now do 90 crunches with or without weights. I am now able to stand on one leg and balance better due to my yoga classes, but my ankles are still weak so I still have to work on that. My next goal is to be able to do the 24 lift class 2x a week for my weights and to also add a pilates class.

I got some new batteries in my heart rate monitor and the signal from the chest piece is go good now that my heart rate was broadcast to the two treadmills on either side of me too. So everyone knew exactly how hard I was working yesterday. Love the heart rate monitor!
