Back

Just in time before leaving, my replacement weight belt came from EliteFTS. This one fits MUCH better (XL instead of L). Before the fit put the prongs into the last two sets of holes, and a very short overhang to leverage in getting the belt on and off. On the new one, the prongs hit the belt right in the middle of the punched holes, so I can grow or shrink in the waist and still be able to use it just fine. Still, it's a very hard belt and takes a lot of work getting unbuckled. I don't want to look like a complete tool in the gym. (Okay...no more than I probably look already.) So, I think I'll hold off until I get with a trainer in San Jose and see where things are - and get some advice from someone much more experienced.

So, here are the numbers for today:
