2010.03.04 - W2D1 - 174

Ok, the first week is officially over and I have new measurements!  I will say that I am pleased with this week's progress, and hope to maintain this during Week 2!!

Measurement/Metrics

                  Start     Previous     Current     Goal
Weight:      295.0      295.0        288.4      160.0

Neck:         18.50      18.50        18.25      16.00
Chest:        49.50      49.50        48.75      44.00
Waist:        54.00      54.00        53.00      34.00
Hips:          45.00      45.00        45.00      40.00

BMI:          43.6         43.6         42.6        23.6
BF%:         41.9%        41.9%       41.1%      15.9%
WHR:        1.20         1.20          1.18        0.85

Since the measurements can be off by 0.25" in each direction based on human error, the BF% and WHR may vary slightly.  For example, BF% could be anywhere from 40.5% to 42.2% with an average of 41.3%.  WHR can be anywhere between 1.17-1.20, with an average of 1.18.  I am just going to use the numbers I measured and the resulting calculation though!

Using these numbers, I lost 6.6 pounds this week!  From the BF% value, I lost 5.1 pounds of fat and 1.5 pounds of muscle (or about 75% fat and 25% muscle).  While it is impossible to lose just fat on any diet/exercise program, I think it's great to see that I lost 5.1 pounds of fat this week!!  If only I were able to keep this up, I would be totally done in 20 weeks!

Diet

Snack: Bagel with 2 Tbl Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese
Breakfast: Oatmeal with Blueberries (no Milk or Protein)
Snack: 1/2 Cup Mexican Corn (Corn and Bell Pepper - canned)
Lunch: Tuna Sandwich & Pear
Party: Graduation party at work for interns - piece of cake
Snack: 1/2 Cup Mexican Corn (Corn and Bell Pepper - canned)
Dinner: Pita Pizza

Exercise

I woke up again today and did my workout right away.  I really am liking it, because I feel more alive right from the beginning of the day.  I did 20 minutes of the sculpting routine which got me up to the lunge & squat combo.  This time I did it with 3 pound weights (vs. no weight) and did 16 pushups (twice) instead of 15.  Things are getting easier, too, since I wasn't so winded or sore after the workout as I was the first time I did it!
