Fitness and Nutrition

Trying new ideas out on the Fitness and Nutrition fronts. I didn't gain too much weight after the holidays, but it is hard to tell by just the total weight. The real number is fat percentage. I am using a funky scale and it says that I am around 15% body fat. My goal it under 10 % body fat, which would be about 20 lbs.

I still like Tony Horton and all the P90X DVDs and I work out 3-5 times a week with him. Very convenient to be able to work out at home.

And one of the funnest new pieces of equipment it the gymnastic rings that I installed in the living room. Only Maggie, McKenna, and I use them.

I am starting to use Coconut oil. The best I have found so far is Tropical Traditions. The creamed coconut is wonderful.
