R2D49 – Weight & Measurements

Had an awesome day at work, and after work I went to my friends to help him with a couple of computers. Then home to cook, and I weighed myself before I ate LOL so lets see how it went…

Weight:

	Day 1	Day 42	Day 49	Gain/Loss	Total G/L
Weight	172.8	162.2	160.6	-1.6	-12.2
Body Fat %	16.7%	11.9%	11.4%	-0.5	-5.3
Lean Body Mass	144.0	142.8	142.3	-0.5	-1.7
Fat Body Mass	28.8	19.4	18.3	-1.1	-10.5
Body Surface Area	18.2	17.6	17.5	-0.1	-0.7
Body Mass Index	25.5	24.0	23.7	-0.3	-1.8

I will say my diet has not been all that great again LOL, but it’s kind of OK, because I did not really eat to much garbage, just ate a little to much at times, like my body is asking for more, but it is good though. I lost 1.6lbs this week, and I am happy I am slowing down like this because I don’t want to be bones LOL however you can tell by the Total G/L that I have lost a total of 10.5 lbs of fat on this round and only 1.7lbs of lean body mass, that is thanks to the Whey Protein, before I did not use any so I lost muscle as well, but this time it seems I am mostly just losing fat which is great, I want to get as low as possible on body fat as I need to remove the fat from the lower abs and let the skin slowly come back, and it is happening, I have no stretch marks so my skin should eventually tighten up and my 6 pack should show, it is a little but not enough LOL.

As you can see I lost around my mid section which is what I am looking for and I gained around chest and back OH YEAH!, the change of push ups with dumbbells and the pull ups are going great, I was thinking I may change the way I do pull ups and push ups and I may slow them down in order to get a better workout out, which means my reps might go down; when I do them slow, I feel them more, so something to think about, we shall see.

So far I am on the right track, and I feel awesome!, can’t wait to loose the rest around my abs and get the skin tighter so my 6 pack shows.

Tomorrow starts my recovery week, there fore I have Yoga X tomorrow, I also have 2 parties to go to this weekend, one on each day of the weekend LOL I will do my best to not eat garbage LOL.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
