Body Fat %

And while on the subject of weight loss and wellness programs - one of the past weeks I spent 2 days at a health fair - again a work thing... The second day there was this woman from Curves there... and she had this body fat counter... OK - let's just say mine was high... Not higher than I anticipated as I didn't know what to anticipate. But I would say it is high...
I have a co-worker who has been somewhat obsessed with her body fat count for a few months now. She even went and had some special test done with some hi-tech machine to get hers checked out. I was surprised at how high hers was. It startled her enough to go to the doctor. Me - I just know I need to work out more.
And then there is my friend, Michael, and he has done just that. Started to work out more... Hired a personal trainer and everything. And every week he notes his body fat count on his blog... EEERRRR is all I can say. He has done a great job - fat count down muscle count up.
I hope to be able to claim the same at the end of this tri thing.
More importantly I just want to be able to claim I finished it... Something more athletic than I have done in quite some time... How cool will that be.
