The drive to a goal is always so much nicer when you actually meet the goal! Body Fat is now in single digits and man, I am going to keep it there! Especially as I know that I am only 4 weeks away from my 41st birthday and my weakest time of the year: Easter (it the Cadbury Crème Eggs that do it to me....).
The data this week:
Weight: 93.5kg - up 200 grams
Body Fat: 9.7% - YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH! Down 1% from last week
Waist: 83-87cm - steady
Lean Muscle is up as well. Nice!
So, this week has been a good week, though getting the routines sorted and the right exercises in place for the day has been a challenge. Stretching is my Achilles heel and I continue to be poor in my execution of stretching regularly.
I'm allowed (financially) a semi-regular check in with my PT; I'm not sure if she will suffer me not stretching for much longer though so I had better get that into routine as well.
It is an important motivational and psychological milestone to be able to be 'accountable' to someone else: if you find that you drift from your goals and cannot stick to plan, consider investigating hiring a PT. Check on their credentials (qualifications, demonstrated success etc) and if you are not sure then ask for another opinion, its your health and money. Most importantly it is your lifestyle commitment to change (or maintain), so take the responsibility to investigate and consider.
Two great PT's are (Twitter) @juicyfitness and @bodywizept, take a look when you get the chance.
