My Weight Loss Program, Week 3

Well, here we are at the beginning of week 3, and all is well! The official weight on the scale this morning was 172 lbs, and my bodyfat is 15.1%. That is a loss of 2 1/2 lbs since last week, with a bodyfat loss of another .4 %.

That is a total of 3 pounds in 2 week, and 1 full percentage point of bodyfat! Now, as excited as I am about that, I need my bodyfat to go down more quickly in order to reach my goal of 9.1% by January 14th, so I am going to make some modifications to the program this week.

Last week I did really well on nutrition, and even the Christmas party Friday night didn't cause too much damage. Also, I have to give props out to Amy's boss who gave us free reign to use his tab at the bar! Nonetheless, we kept things fairly under control. Only 1 small plate of food, and a nice slice of turkey breast. We had several drinks, which were obviously not in the nutrition program, but let's see YOU go to a party with a bunch of doctors and see how interested you are in drinking nothing but coffee and water... :)

Last week's exercise included some kind of activity every single day, some of it moderate intensity, some of it more than that. I did my first high intensity cardio session on Friday for 25 minutes, and I ran at a moderate level on Sunday for 55 minutes. Most days also included some type of resistance training as well.

This week will be more of the same, although I am going to add in 2 or more days of pre-breakfast cardiovascular training, since that is a solid way to melt of bodyfat, but not muscle, and I am going to crank up resistance training intensity as well. Now that I have 2 full weeks of conditioning under my belt, I can take off the kid gloves when I hit the weights.

Also, I am going to add in a second dose of Tahitian Noni's Soy Protein, and another shot of Tahitian Noni Juice as well. I drank soy protein once a day last week, and took 2 shots of juice each da, but since my resistance training is going up a notch, I am going to crank up my protein and antioxidant intake as well.

So, that's it for this week! There are no baby quiche parties on the upcoming agenda, and I am *remotely* caught up on work obligations, so I should be able to be a good little boy and carry my butt to the gym on a frequent basis, and my PlayStation 2 is scheduled to be delivered any day now, so I should be able to start beating the crap out of stuff here at home, too.

However, on that note, we also put up the Christmas lights on Saturday night, and Amy was a good sport about me going for the "Griswald" effect, so hopefully I don't end up knocking over the tree, or getting electrocuted! ;)~

Happy December, y'all! <~~~~ I just luv saying "y'all"!
