Weekly Weigh In September 25th 2009

This week as been another very hectic week for me, but I have stuck to my workout program 100% and about 80% to my diet plan. I’m feeling good because I know that I’ve got gained any fat this week, I can just tell by looking at myself in the mirror. It’s strange but because I’ve been doing these weekly weigh in’s since the beginning of the year I’m really getting to know my body I seem to know even if I’ve put a pound on.

OK having just weighed myself, my weight at this weeks weekly weigh in is 197.6 pounds which is exactly the same as last week. But here’s the good news my body fat percentage is down 0.4% to 22.5%. I am now feeling that I can lose this fat once and for all, without getting that skinny guy look. To be honest with you I do not want to drop below 190 pounds, this is what I weighed when I just left school and at the time I thought I looked too skinny. Its strange because back then I was doing everything to gain weight not lose it. Its strange how things change 20 years later.

I’m off to Florida in 5 weeks, so I want to shift as much fat as I can. If I can shift 2 pounds of body fat each week. That will be a 10 pound fat loss, hopefully I can do this without losing too much body weight. My aim a few weeks ago was to be at 15% body fat for Florida, I don’t think I am going to achieve that. But I want to be well under 20%.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been a little lazy on the cardio and not done that much. I think If I starting doing 20 minutes of high intensity interval training each morning. Not only will I burn off lots of calories during the workout, but my metabolism will speed up for many hours following the workout. Which will help my body to burn off more fat. I’m out at the weekend for a meal and drinks, so I plan on making this my last blowout then its just under 5 weeks off stinking to the plan 100% ready to hit the pool and water-parks at Orlando.
