Last week has been great for the gym (almost 4000 calories burnt) but I just can’t get a grip on my evening meals. This week I will kick the ass out of it, no excuses. This is how I’ve done:-
Body Weight: 12 stone 11 pounds (A loss of 2 pounds)
Body Fat Percentage: 31.5% (An increase of 3.5%)
BMI: 28.9 (A loss of 0.3)
So what can I learn from that. Weight wise (which is my target after all) I’m still very much on target, In 3 weeks I’ve lost 7 pounds and have another 5 weeks to lose another 7. I’ve also learnt that there is a very good chance that my all singing and dancing weighing scales with built-in body fat measurer don’t actually measure body fat very accurately. Even taking my start figure that was around 33%, there was no way 1 third of my body was made up of fat. The fact that nobody would even consider me over-weight (as opposed to well built) would probably vouch for that, never mind the triangular frame. I’ve also noticed some good changes in my body shape in the last week (significant stomach toning for one) so I just can’t believe for 1 moment that I’ve increased my percentage body fat. Anyway, this is irrelevant for the most part because my ONE goal was to lose the weight, I can worry about body fat afterwards.
The plan for this week is to spend even more time in the gym and once and for all to get a grip of what I eat at night, first of all I’m going to try a mid afternoon fruit snack and see how that works out.
