Did another week of Cardio and I feel great. This week I have logged a bunch of miles (21.9) on the treadmill. This past week has been about building my endurance. I have been sitting around for so long I just needed to get something going. I lost 9lbs the past week but I am sure it was what I call junk weight and a little body fat. Drinking more water and eating less calories has done some good (DUH!!).
Supplements and Diet - I have decided not to take any supplements except for some AminoChage Protein powder if I can't eat regular food and of course Body Balance and Amino Charge for my Vitamins. I really believe taking Nutritional Supplements daily are a must. I have chosen liquid supplements for various reasons and the the Life Force products are the best out there.
I have been using a Polar HRM and keeping my heart rate in the 60%-70% range for the whole workout. I will be swiching things up this week and doing a more HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). I will also start using the Bowflex this week.
Here are my stats for the week.
Weight - 266
BF% - 44.3
Waist - 48.5
Hips - 45.75
Chest - 48
Bicep - 16.5
Thigh - 27.75
As you can see I have lost 1/4 inch on most body measurements. The measurement on my thighs have gone weigh up. This is due to all the cardio and a possible measurement error.
I was a little depressed this morning since I did not think this was such a big gain. Now that I am looking at the actual numbers I feel much better. The number I was really looking at was my BF%. We are using a Tantia scale. We will see how this goes over time. My numbers the first week are always a little strange due to the shock your body goes though when starting a new program.
