Results Day – Week 16

Another week, another check in and I still get excited about what the data will tell me. This is the key to knowing how you are doing, the feedback tells the story and allows you to adjust, contemplate and celebrate!

This week slight shifts downwards reflects the fact that I have stopped eating Creme Eggs, and chocolate in general, plus my dedication to fitting as many beers in over the “Festival of Fred” (my birthday) as possible.


The data:

Weight: 92.9kg – down 600g from last week

Body Fat: 9.1% - down 0.2% from last week

Waist: 85-90cm – down 1cm from last week
 I thought I would take a look at my progress after three months, this gives an even better view on progress and trends...

The trend line helps me see that although I have some peaks and troughs in there, the overall direction for my weight is downwards, and I want to get to and then sustain 90kg (a good weight for my height, age etc).

Body Fat tells a similar story:

And again, overall heading downwards towards my goal of 8% and if I work hard enough, 7%.
 If you face the same issues I do, motivation to keep going, finding the time to actually exercise, taking on-board the wrong nutrients (beer, wine, chocolate etc) then take solace in the fact that if you do track your results regularly, you WILL find yourself wanting to get to the gym, your motivation is spurred by the knowledge you gain from checking in, NO MATTER WHAT THE RESULTS SAY. I would suggest that you may find the odd excuse for not eating properly, for not exercising, for not getting a cardio session in, but each time you check your results and hear the same excuse you WILL change, you will get to that cardio session (and feel so much better for it!), you will get to that weights programme (and feel the muscles giving you GREAT feedback, sore though you maybe).

Go on, track your progress – I dare you!

Have a good week, train, enjoy, laugh and then train again...
