OK so this is where IF I really wanted to loose more weight faster, nutrition would come in to play, as you can see all I lost was half a pound and I gained it back in muscle, which is cool, however muscle takes long to build so it’s a slower pace and you can tell because you know I worked my butt off and I have been sore quite a bit this week, meaning something is working and I am hitting it hard, but I am happy that I stayed at the 158.6, I don’t really want to be dropping to quickly as I mentioned before, not good for my height. Also my body fat is 8.9% WOW that’s amazing, however the loose skin does not make it seem so, I look thin but not totally ripped because the skin is not tight enough. I would also like to have my body fat measured professionally to see what it really is, I want to see how close I really am to being accurate.

Lets take a look at the measurements:

I lost that half a pound again in my mid section so that is cool, exactly where I want to loose it LOL, Also I made a correction, my wrist only lost 0.25 of an inch and I had put it as 6.25 last week, in reality that should have been 6.75, which would make sense, and I did not loose more there, thank God.

As mentioned from last week, my wedding ring is falling off, and the belt I had bought when I started this round which I used on the first hole is now on the 3rd hole, so I am getting thinner, but I need more muscle to compensate for the weight loss now.

Well tomorrow starts my last recovery week and I start with Yoga X, I am off tomorrow and my wife works so I am home alone, I will do my Yoga early and then do house chores.

Thank you for your time:
