Current Stats and Future plan

It's been about two weeks since my last post, and its time to share the most current progress.  First, lets start by saying that two weeks ago was my recovery week.  I went light on the cardio that week, despite my plan, only doing two days of running, and two days of Yoga. I kept up with my dietary needs, with the occasional splurge here and there.  The results were fairly interesting:

4/24/11

Weight: 151 lbs

Body fat: 9.7%

Stayed around the same body fat percentage, and lost a few lbs.  This is expected.  Without weight training, lean mass will slightly diminish, and with cardio and Yoga, I expected to lose a little body fat.  Good week!

The following week was back to the routine as usual.  Went strong for the first two days, but missed a cardio workout due to laziness and other plans.  Then on Friday, got sick and could hardly move all weekend, so I missed a weight training day, and 2 days of cardio/yoga.  I was terrified to see what the results were that Sunday, but to my surprise, they were actually pretty good

5/1/11

Weight: 151 lbs

Body Fat: 9.5%

Lost a little body fat.  Not sure if this was due to being sick and not taking in as many calories as needed, but the real surprise was the lean mass - it hadn't really budged.  Still coming up with a good theory on why this occurred.

So the plan forward, I'm sticking with the current plan for the next couple weeks, then a recovery week for my vacation.  Then, well.. I'm going to need a completely new blog post to describe what I'm going to do for the hypertrophy phase.  My buddy Adam introduced me to a training plan that so far looks like a it makes a lot of sense.  Stay tuned tomorrow to see what this insane routine has in store for me starting in the 3rd week of March.  A lot less time, with a promise of better results, and a lot less bullshit.  Sounds like its right up my alley.

Cheers!
