Week 38
I’ve been working my butt off since getting back from the cottage, trying to burn off the extra weight/fat I put on during the week I was away. It turns out the fit I had over the weight gain was all for naught… the weight was water weight! Spent Wednesday peeing like crazy and Thursday I was back to the 173 I was at the week before. Damn salty food my dad makes at the cottage… The BF% was definitely up a %, though, I checked it again on Thursday and got the same results. So I have been liftin’. Tonight after liftin’ I checked the BF% and I am back down again to where I was last week. Cool.
Meanwhile what I am trying to do is do two weeks’ worth of routines in eight days since I know I have a six-day rest coming up. So far I am on schedule and have four more days to go. I have to double up some things, but it works OK. I’ll do abs in the early afternoon and then shoulders and tris in the evening, for example.
And it is all working. I have had a lot of great, positive and encouraging comments from the latest progress pic I posted this week, a one year comparison of my relaxed back. Today was a really hot, muggy day so I chose to spend it outside washing the cars in nothing but swim trunks. Before this year I wouldn’t have considered that, for fear that a neighbor would see me. This year I want them to see me!
