I've been doing 'Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle' for about 13 weeks now. I think these last two weeks haven't been a very good test but basically I've lost nothing. Yikes! I know that I've gained muscle. I've gotten the 'you look great, did you lose weight?' comments.
In reality this is how my pounds have looked.
Week #1: 135.2
Week #2: 133.4
Week #3: 136.2
Week #4: 135.6
Week #5: 135.8
Week #6: 136.4
Week #7: 135.4
Week #8: 136.4
Week #9: 136
Week #10: 137
Week #11: 135.6
Week #12: 138
Week #13: 136
There have been no changes. I've really concentrated on losing inches since I can't get an accurate measurement of my body fat. The past couple weeks I've been traveling and injured. Those are not good excuses but that's all I got. And I do think it's important to change things up and reevaluate your program every once in a while. It is only 12 weeks until my sister's wedding. It's time to kick it into gear! I want to lose the fat.
These are my goals: **Waist: 27 inches by September 7th
**Lose 5 pounds by September 7th
**Wear a size 4 by the end of the year
These goals are easily achievable if I stay on track and really figure out what it takes for my body to lose weight. As Jillian Michaels says on her radio show, these are basically 'vanity pounds'. I'm a healthy weight, I don't NEED to lose these pounds. The great news is that I wore a bathing suit for the first time in years and I felt pretty comfortable. I think I notice the biggest change in my legs.
I have moved on from my injured goals. My foot feels great. I'm going to wait a few days at least till I run on it again but I'm done with my injured goals.
Round 2 - BFFM PLAN 1. Eat 1650 calories for 3 days - 2000 every 4th day
2. Work out each muscle group once per week
3. At least 5 cardio workouts per week
4. 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat
5. Vitamins every day
6. Stop eating at 8pm on most days
7. Drink 80 ounces of water
8. No more than 1 can of diet pop on shoot days only
9. Eat every 3 hours
10. 30 grams of fiber per day
11. Minimal alcohol and coffee creamer
12. Don't eat BF's junk! (Unless calories are counted)
13. Eat clean food 90% of the time
Here are my measurements as of this morning: 134.8 pounds
27.2% body fat
29.5 inches around my waist
35 inches around my hips
Why do I keep track of my body fat %?? The scale is not accurate!
