Focus T25 – Week 4, and a doctor consult

I was feeling run down by Thursday but powered through the Thursday/Friday workouts, but was down hard on Saturday and Sunday. I did some stretching in the evenings but they were low-activity days overall.

My Monday weigh-in had me at 433.8, which was a bit higher than late last week, but I’ve seen that pattern most weeks: steady losses from Tuesday through Thursday, then slight rises Friday through Monday. The overall trend is down, but the body seems to have its natural fluctuations.

True to form, I was down to 431.6 this morning, a new low on this Beach Body Challenge, which ends next Wednesday, May 14.

Went in for a blood test this morning; my last one was nearly a year ago, so I was due anyway, but I have a colonoscopy scheduled for next month and in yesterday’s consult, the doctor told me to get my bloodwork done ASAP. I’m very glad I’m doing it today rather than this time last month when my diet was a mess and I wasn’t very active. The doctor was predictably blunt about my current size and how long I’ve been so large, but he gave me kudos for being 80 pounds lower than I was a year ago. For him, it’s all about the cancer risk factors, which is hard to argue with. Adds to my commitment.
