Yoga

Sorry I did not post last night, I decided to go out and did not come back till pretty late.

Yesterday was fantastic, I got up early and did Yoga early in the morning and for this I put in the Yoga X DVD, I don’t look at it anymore, I just listen to it, I hear for the cues and I like the music LOL. I really needed it, my back and neck were a bit tight and this seemed to have done the trick for sure, so basically you should not cut Yoga out of the equation even when doing your own stuff.

I did manage to take my weight and measurements yesterday morning as well. And here is what my stats currently look like:

Weight:

	Week 1
Weight	154.2
Body Fat %	8.5%
Lean Body Mass	141.1
Fat Body Mass	13.1
Body Surface Area (BSA)	17.2
Body Mass Index (BMI)	22.8

First off remember that it has been 2 weeks since I last weighed myself. And I lost exactly 3lbs, now the week before I started doing my own stuff, if you remember I only went to the GYM 3 times and was on cardio machines for no more than 35min. Not sure how much impact that had. I will say it is not exactly what I was looking for, yes I want to loose the rest of the fat, but I want to convert to muscle so I hope that now I start gaining some, I don’t know if going under 150lbs is a good thing or not. All I know is that it’s not winter yet and I am damn cold, was never this cold before, I guess the layers of fat kept me warm.

Measurements:

	Week 1
Neck	15
Shoulder	16.5
Chest	40.5
Waist	33.25
Abdomen	33.75
Hips	33.75
Thigh	20.75
Knee	14
Calf	14
Ankle	8.25
Arm	11.5
Forearm	11
Wrist	6.75
Waist-Hip Ratio	0.985185

 

The most interesting here is that I lost on my neck yet again, I had not lost there for a bit, I was stuck at 15.25 for quite a while and some how now I am 15 inches on the neck, and the same thing goes for my ankle, for the longest time I had 8.5 and yesterday I had 8.25.

 

I also want to mention that it has been pretty cold here lately, and cold tends to shrink your skin as the body contracts to try to keep warm, this could also have to do with this situation. We shall see how it all goes from here.

 

So far I have been happy with what I am doing, but I wont know how all of this is working out for me until I have been doing this for a couple of weeks or so.

 

Starting next week, I work 9-5, I only get these shifts every once in a while, so when I get them, I will be working out in the morning, instead. Tomorrow I am back to Chest & Back and we will continue our experimental adventure.

 

Thank you for your time:
