Hot 100 – Weekly update 10

Here is my week 10 update for the Hot 100 challenge.

1. 2010 exercise goal.
   To continue to exercise regularly;
   – exercise on average at least 6 hours per week
   – maintain the intensity of exercise and burn an average of > 4,000 calories per week
   For the Hot 100 I’m going to stretch the goals a bit;
   – stay 10% ahead of both measurements by the end of 2010
   – succeed in both measurements in 12 out of the 15 weeks between now and the end of 2010
   This week 6.3 hours of exercise, for 4,885 calories. Averages year to date are 6.35 hours (5.9% ahead) and 4,362 calories (9.1% ahead).
2. 2010 weight and body fat goal
   To continue to eat a sensible and balanced diet, and;
   – maintain my weight within the 70-75kg range
   – maintain my body-fat percentage within the 15-20% range.
   This weeks result is 72.1 kg (down 1.2 kg from last week) and 18.7% body fat. Year to date results; average 72.6 kg, minimum 70.9 kg, maximum 74.4 kg.
3. 2010 bicycle distance goal
   To ride 5,000km in 2010
   This week 149 km, year to date 4,751 km, which is 244 km (or 18 days) ahead of schedule. 249 km left to reach 5,000 km.

Good to have another “all green” week, and happy with being back in the 72s again weight wise. Not quite sure why the body fat % rose by 1% with a 1.2kg loss in body weight.

Another very rainy day in Melbourne today, but I did manage to squeeze in a run this afternoon when it wasn’t all that heavy, actually quite a pleasant run in the drizzle, although with very little running recently I did struggle somewhat. 8.25km @ 5:53 min/km.
