From Now until April First
Where am I now? I’ve learned alot in the last month. The question: why am I losing bodyfat but not changing weight? I’ve been between 213 and 218 for three months but lost a pant size and several percent. I’ve tracked my bodyfat using the BodPod and proven that yes- I’ve successfully increased muscle mass at the same rate as my fat loss. For the first time, certain body measurements are increasing while my BF is dropping. Skin Caliper and BodPod readings were way different, with BodPod being incredibly accurate. Total Bodyfat loss is closer to 130.
Between now and April I intend to change things up alot. I’m turning the afterburner back on. My personal challenge includes the same level of intense training as before but a mandatory, non-cumulative 1200 calorie per day deficit. I’ve done more for longer before so I know it’s possible. I’m on week three and while it’s hard, I’ve proven to myself that I’m not overreaching. I took some progress pictures today and would actually post a couple- that says alot!
Now what? I’ll stick with the 1200 cal/day deficit, keep my nutrition in immaculate condition, work out like a horse, and finish this 15-month journey off with a bang. My friends on Bodyspace are my inspiration and goal-standard. I’ll post a pic in April with me looking lean and strong and worth posting. Every bit of encouragement helps- I’ll see you below 10%
