Day 63 – X Stretch, Weight & Measurements

Xstretch

Today was a nice stretchy day. I was impressed on how flexible I am starting to become on some stretches. For example the front leg stretch, I can now touch the floor with the tip of my fingers, very cool, also the ham string stretches on the floor I am grabbing my heel a lot easier now.

Still working on Camel and on back hero I was actually able to go down a bit more. Plow, I am so close to touching the floor but still no dice. Well stretching felt good, so lets move on to what Fridays are really about.

First thing I will say is I was a bad boy this week with what I ate, several times this week I ate something a bit greasy LOL like I ordered chicken breast but it came with the skin and I could not resist and I ate it LMAO!. I made a top sirloin steak, and this one had a bit of fat in a corner and uhm I could not resist and I ate half and then said, what the heck am I doing, I don’t want to go backwards, throw it out LOL. And finally today work provided pizza for a meeting and I ate 2 slices and it was insanely greasy, the second piece I tried to soak the grease off with some paper towels LOL but I was hungry and it was free and in front of me, so I ate it, but hey they also provided chocolate cake and I am a huge chocoholic and I did not touch it, I looked at it and I wanted some, but I kept thinking on what I had just done so I left it alone LOL and I don’t really workout today so bad Mikey, bad bad Mikey. So lets see how all this affected me.

I worked out hard this week as those who are coming to my blog know, so I still lost weight but not as much as I could have if I had not done such bad things this week. I lost 2.2lbs visible on the scale, and looking at body fat % I lost 1.2lbs of fat and lost 1lbs of lean body mass, possibly shrinking skin.

Now I am starting to have the issue where I have loose skin on my stomach and it seems larger, but it’s all really loose, when I set my self down to do push ups it stretches outwards pretty far, kinda disgusting and messed up. I know it is part of the process but I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to make the skin shrink a bit faster that would be great, please let me know.

I am still slowly going down in size YAY!! and my neck is still shrinking which is fantastic because I just lowered my CPAP machine last night 2 full notches, so my pressure when I started to use the CPAP was 12, now it is 8, this is really helping me :o)

I also lost on the Chest area, waist, abdomen, hips and thighs, also lost a bit on my forearms. The abs seem bigger at times but it’s like an accumulation of skin falling down from above, like something melting, again I would really appreciate any advice on getting rid of that excess skin that seems to be taking for ever to shrink.

Tomorrow I have Chest, Shoulders and Triceps, basically this coming week I will be doing the routine from Phase II.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
