Not true - I just don't like the diet (Atkins) you're on. Besides, I've been keeping She busy with crockpot recipes lol - the turkey chili and (I hope) the chicken, black beans, corn, salsa and cream cheese were both hits. (The latter especially really benefitted from blending/reheating.)
Fitness Assessment
Well just got back from lunch after my fitness assessment, and overall it seemed to go ok. Weighed in at around 258.5, with a BF % of 35.3. The bike test was interesting - you go for 3 minutes and at the end, depending on your heart rate, they adjust the resistance on the cycle accordingly. There were 4 tiers, with Tier 1 with bpm < 80, then Tier 2 with bpm >= 80 and <90 etc. My heart rate was coming out between 78 and 82, so I got tested at Tier 2, but apparently was doing well enough that the test giver added the last stage of Tier 1.
Crunches I did fairly ok with - tried to stay with the beat, and see how many crunches I could do in a minute.
Pushups - these were what I felt I did worst on - had me do a modified pushup (knees on the floor), and I was able to do 30 before failure.
Also did a flexibility test too - no idea how I did though as it was tough to tell what "normal" would be.
Overall an interesting experience, and I'll see about getting a retest done in 6 months. I should have the results in a week.
