Week 8 on the SCD

Another wonderful week on the SCD! Finally had a chance to use a hand-held body fat measurement device this past week - not sure the accuracy of it, but my reading was 12.2% body fat!! If that is accurate I'm pretty excited, since my goal was 12% or less. Still need to make an appt for the bodpod or Dexa to get a more accurate measurement though :)

So I read Tim's chapter in the 4HB about Sleep and about the different systems he describes for surviving on less sleep - I'm going to try to make an attempt at the Siesta style he mentions and see how that goes - not sure I'm ready for the Everyman yet ;)

My running has definitely improved after putting into practice the pose method - I'm finally able to keep up with and pass up individuals who were much faster than I, including Joe (my husband :) - my ultimate goal a less than 20 min 3 mile run...hopefully I'll be there soon!

So here's a review of our past cheat day- numero ocho!! We enjoyed some delicious stuff from all around Austin - was really an awesome day, plus the weather was absolutely gorgeous! (This was all of course accompanied by air squats, lots of walking, and wall presses :)
