Stress Test

The past 2 weeks have been brutal, professionally and personally. I logged 140 hours over the previous two weeks for the client. Personally, it hasn’t been any better, but I’d rather stay away from that topic in this forum*. Put the two together and I haven’t spent much time sleeping or eating well, let alone drinking empty calories since Memorial Day weekend. I’ve lost 7 pounds since the last test date but the stress levels required to do so have not been worth it. Luckily, work is getting back to normal levels and I don't have much choice but to work through the personal stuff. In the chart below, you can see that I actually increased in a few areas from the May 27 post test because of the week off and the dry weekends. I revised goals as appropriate.

Exercise	May 27	Original July 1 Goal	June 6 Test	New July 1 Goal
Weight	325	310 (weighed 323 on 6/1)	318	310
Mile Run	12:15	11:30	DNF**	11:30
Regular Pushups	64	70	66	75
Regular Dips	--	40	43	50
Sit Ups (in 1 minute)	27	30	31	35
Planks to failure	2:10	2:30	2:48	3:00

* If you are concerned and do not know what happened, please talk to me in person, give me a call, or shoot me a text.

** I did not finish the mile because I was not feeling well.
