Workouts for the week included seven 4-Mile walks, P90X Shoulders and Arms, 21-Day Yoga Shred (Days 1 and 2), and a body-weight workout of squats, push-ups, and pull-ups.
I started the week at 229 lbs and 21% body fat. The BF measure was from a hand-held device, so I don’t know if the number is accurate (though it very well could be!). But it does seem to consistently show changes in BF, which is fine for now.
The only nutrition “musts” for the week were 1) ZERO Pepsi; 2) much more water (shooting for half my body weight number in ounces (e.g., 230/2 = 115 ounces); and 3) exercise/activity every day.
Results were pretty good. I ended Week 1 at 224 lbs and 20.3 % Body Fat, which is a nice start! My goal weight is around 210 lbs, but that BF has got to go WAY down. The lowest I\’ve ever been (that I’m aware of) is 12%, which was after my first round of P90X. Ten years later, that may not seem realistic, but I’m aiming to be lower than that by my birthday (late October).
This week I intend to gradually up the ante on exercise, along with adding more variety. After a two-week base, I’m hoping to add some HIIT in as well (not allowed to yet, due to my broken ankle – doc wanted me to wait eight weeks before getting “jumpy” or jogging, and the end of this week will be eight weeks).
Okay, that’s it from here! Excited about making some more progress this week!
Peace and blessings, readers! Jim Blue
