The Post That Needs to Happen

I've been dreading this, but the time has come. I met with the exercise physiologist at my new job, and she took all my measurements and gave me a workout plan. I promised myself that I was going to post all my measurements here on my blog so that I would be accountable. I meet with the physiologist again in 6 weeks, and darn it, I'm gonna have something to show for it!
Currently, I do ZERO regular exercise, and my "diet" involves eating pretty much whatever I want whenever I want it. It would be unrealistic to go from this lifestyle to one that embodies Anya-like diligence and self-control, so I asked the physiologist to get realistic with me. What can I honestly do; what will I stick to? She came up with a fitness routine for me to do 3 days a week. Each routine should take approximately 30 minutes. Diet-wise I am supposed to eat out less often. If this isn't achievable, I don't know what is!
And now for the moment we've all been waiting for: my fitness assessment figures as of 7/1/10:
Ht: 5'5" (that shouldn't change)
Wt: 157.6 (egads! Mini-goal = 145lbs)
Blood Pressure: 110/76 (not too shabby)
Body fat: 32.1% (how am I still alive!? STAY PUFT!!!)
Waist to Hip Ratio: .73 (she said this was acceptable, but I should google what it means)
Flexibility: 9 (this is a relatively meaningless number. More accurate to say that I can't even touch my toes when my legs are straight. This is dangerous!)
Goals: to lower weight and eventually do a pull-up.

Circumference Measurements:
Shoulders: 43
Chest: 36
Waist: 30
Abdomen: 34
Hips: 41
Biceps: 12 in. ea.
Thighs: 23 in. ea.

While on the one hand it feels like a big failure to post these numbers, I need to remember that the upside is that this is my starting point. I'd better have some improvements to blog about in the next several weeks!

Also, since having the assessment done, I joined some friends for a class at the Rush. I had a wonderful time, so maybe I can really enjoy this new "exercise" thing. ;)
