Been a while since I posted, so I wanted to put out an update on my progress. Last week was photo week, and there is definitely progress to be seen. However, whether its the fact that I have to use the camera timer and not have a good photographer, I don't feel like the pictures I'm taking are accurately reflecting how I feel, and what I see when I look in the mirror. So, no pics for anyone yet :)
Other than that, I feel like progress is being made. The measurements I made this week show some progress, but I feel may be a little flawed. I didn't drop any weight, but after three separate measurements of my body composition, I came up with the result that I dropped a little bit of body fat this week. The reasons for this can be that I may have added a little bit of lean body mass, but not enough to show a considerable increase in muscle diameter in the key areas.
My diet last week was pretty good. I did splurge a bit with some Volcano nachos at Margarita-ville in Westgate last friday, and burgers and chicken wings on Saturday at Paul's birthday party. But, the rest of the week I was sticking to the diet very well. I also missed my cardio workout on Saturday :( But even with all that, I still managed to maintain the weight I was the previous week, and managed to shed another .5% body fat.
The numbers for last week are shown below.
3/27/11
Weight: 156 lbs
Body fat %: 11.5%
Caloric intake: about 2150 Calories/day
4/3/11:
Weight: 156 lbs
Body Fat %: 10.9%
Caloric intake: about 2200 Calories/day
This week, I feel fantastic. Muscles feel like they are getting a fantastic workout, and the days after my runs, my body feels leaner. I'm very excited about this week's numbers, which I will promptly post on Sunday morning.
