Weekly Weigh In August 28th 2009

I’ve had another good week exercise and diet wise. after losing a mammoth 5 pounds at last weeks weekly weigh in I’ve decided to increase my food intake slightly. Because my main aim is to lose fat and only fat whilst I’m cutting weight. I’m expecting another weight loss this week, but I’m not expecting to lose another 5 pounds. Even if I don’t lose any weight and my body fat percentage drops I’ll be a very happy man. I’ve ate loads and loads of protein this week, which I think is helping me to hold on to the muscle that I’m carrying on my body.

Having just stepped on to the bodyfat scales I’m pleased to tell you that I’ve lost 0.4 pounds, but more importantly dropped my body fat percentage by another 1.3%. I’m back in the fat loss zone big time and I’m expecting to be below 20% body fat before the end of next month. I’m going to set myself a goal of being 20% at the end of September, 15% at the end of October then I’ve got November and December to finally get down to 10% bodyfat which is my ultimate goal.

I may of left it a little bit late now to be 10% body fat at 200 pounds, because that will involve lots of cutting weight and bulking up phases to achieve. At the moment I will probably be spending the next three months cutting weight and lowering my body fat percentage. I’m looking to cut weight till I reach 15% BF then its highly likely that I will need a bulking phase because I do not want my body weight to drop below 185 pounds. At 6 foot 2 inches tall 185 pounds just wouldn’t look right on me.

In an ideal world I will be able to keep losing fat and maintaining by body weight. Hopefully with my new and improved diet and exercise program I will be able to do this. One of the secrets in my new diet plan is allowing myself to eat that piece of cake and chocolate bar. Losing weight and fat is all in the numbers. If you stay below your recommended daily calorie allowance 99% of us will lose weight it’s as simple as that.

Its a bank holiday weekend and I’m off to North Wales on a camping weekend later today. So my diet and exercise plan will stray slightly. But when I return on Monday I will be straight back at it and get back in the fat loss zone. We will all stray a little from our diet and exercise plans, the secret to success is to get straight back at it as soon as you can. It’s so easy to say to yourself on a Tuesday or Wednesday I’ll start dieting or exercising after the weekend. This is now I use to think, and this way of thinking will never get you into the shape that you are looking for.
