Six weeks complete, first day of week 7, I'm thrilled to be here at this point. My weigh in was 253 1/2 lbs and my belly was 48.25". My body fat percentage is 29.6% :( So this week I went up 1.5 lbs, my belly gained 2", and body fat percentage went up 1/10 of a percent. This transaltes into about 3/4 lbs of mucle and 3/4 lbs of fat. Bah, there should be no fat gain!!! I also need to make sure that I am consitent in my measuring I think I may have been a little optimistic on my belly last week, maybe I was breathing in or too tight or both, but need to make sure I'm relaxed and not holding my breath.
My workouts went well and I eliminated my extra HIIT cardio on the bike on lifting days. It felt awkward to walk out after lifting those days. However, after my results this morning, I am going back to my cardio on lifting days. I believe my nutrition may be slightly off and the cardio was actually keeping it in check. Also, on Wed. this week I began a loading phase of creatine, basically 25 g. a day through yesterday, now I will just maintain the required amount daily. This should have increased my muscle volume, which to the eye I definitely see, but not sure how the numbers would change with this increased volume of water in the muscles, weight, lean body mass, fat? I'll have to read up and see. Regardless, the clothes still feel good.
My cheat day this week was Sunday, Christmas Day. I had my cravings for sugar cookies filled and overindulged with two plates of mostacolli, ribs, and a slice of red velvet cake! All in all, I overate, felt bloated, and did not feel that good. Like they say, it's a reminder to how that feeling was. I'll stick to Sundays for this feeling only!
