Weekly Weigh In November 20th 2009

I got back from my wonderful wedding in Orlando Florida on Saturday, feeling like I hadn’t put on too much weight. During the first week I was strict with my diet and did lots of exercise in my hotel room using the fantastic perfect push up machines. I also did lots and lots of walking around the theme parks. During the second week, I was slightly less strict with my diet and ate a little bit more. I still exercised every other day which I so glad I did because I think it really helped in me not gaining weight whilst on my holiday.

On Monday I was curious as to what I weighed following my two week holiday, I was so surprised to find out that I had actually lost 4 pounds and my body weight was down to 188 pounds. Since Monday I’ve increased my carbs and protein to help me gain some lean muscle mass so that I can continue lowering my body fat percentage. OK having just stepped onto the body fat scales my weight at this weeks weekly weigh is 191 pounds with a body fat percentage of 20.1%. I’m really happy because my body fat percentage as gone up slightly, but I have managed to actually lose weight whilst I’ve been away. The increase in body fat is all down to not eating lots of lean protein at every meal, plus there was a 5 hour gap in between each meal which isn’t good for burning fat and increasing your metabolic rate.

I’m now back to eating every 2 to 3 hours and ensuring that I have plenty of lean protein and complex carbohydrates at every meal. The change in diet will help me to start losing fat again, I had a workout in my home gym yesterday and I’m pleased to tell you that it was a good one. I had the energy to complete my full program, plus my strength is returning and this has only got to be down to me eating a little more healthy again.

I’m still finding it hard to believe that I’ve lost weight over the last 2 weeks, I was eating burgers,pizzas, all you can eat chinese and other delicious tasting junk food. Its all down to the way I’ve been eating and training over the last few weeks. My metabolism is running at an extremely high rate at the moment, this is because I’ve now started doing the correct things and actually eating more food. One things for sure I would ever return to those fad crash diets that leave you feeling and looking like s***.
