By the Numbers

It is absolutely amazing how awesome I feel after working out.  No, really!

I feel taller.  Sexier.  Stronger.  Happier.  Prettier.  Skinnier.  And just all around GOOD.

There is no drug better than endorphins.  You wanna get high?  EXERCISE!

I still have 20 lbs to lose.  The numbers on the scale are stubborn little buggers.  But I don't let them get me down, because I have some other really awesome numbers for you...

I can sustain 155+ bpm (heart Beats Per Minute) for well over an hour on a daily basis.

My resting heart rate fluctuates between 45-55 bpm.  That is rockstar!  An average healthy person's resting heart rate is 60-90 bpm.  45-55 bpm is endurance athlete level.  That makes me feel amazing!

My blood pressure is consistently below 120/80.  Usually about 116/75.  That is also rockstar!

I can run a flat 5K (3.1 miles) in under 28 minutes and a 10K with light hills in one hour.

I'm at about 16.5-17.5 mph on my bike training.

I can get a short lane 100m swim done in under 2 min. and my longest swim to date is 3000m.

So, if the numbers on the scale are getting you down, start paying attention to other numbers in your life.  You'll soon find something to cheer about!

And, by all means, get out there and get high...

... on exercise!
