We didn't really have a weigh in yesterday as we were out of town, but I have weighed myself enough lately to have a good enough idea of where I'm at. I usually weigh about 181-182 in the mornings, and 184.5 at night. This has been pretty consistent now for a week or two, and more or less wraps up the weight loss portion of my goals.
For about two weeks now, I have been trying to maintain my weight based on my calorie calculations from the beginning. I have figured that at 2500 a day, I should stay at about 180 or so without gaining or losing. So far it has proven to be true, but my main problem is that I tend to round out my calories by eating junk food, which isn't going to do me any good.
Today, I will try to have my fat percentage measured again, and once I do that I will post it. I learned from the head trainer that the trainer that measured me has a reputation for doing it wrong, so my 10% may not have been accurate. We'll see.
Today I intend to begin the second part of my goals. Weight lifting. I found a workout plan that seems to fit my goals and the time that I have available. It can be found here. Go to the bottom of the page to see the actual plan.
Obviously the body fat percentage will become more important, because as I build muscle, my weight will go back up, so the scales won't really give me an accurate reading on where I'm at anymore. What I'm hoping to do is to lift on Monday's and Friday's and continue going to my calisthenics class on Wednesdays. I don't want to totally ignore cardio in my training.
After I lift, I'll post what I did and how much, that way most of my friends can make fun of me. Hopefully I will be able to look back and laugh too once I get to where I want to be.
