End of 2nd Week - May 26, 2008

Today rounded out the end of the 2nd week for this challenge (my second 12-week program this year), and the results are going the right way:

Start/Current Weight: 145.8 lbs / 143.2 lbs (good)

Start/Current Body Fat: 13.5% / 14.1% (not so good)

Attached is a current front shot picture of the progress.

2008 Challenge II - End of First Week (5/19/2008)

I just wrapped up the second week of this challenge, and the progress was slow but steady. I went from 145.8 to 145.0, so I lost almost a pound. Body fat went up, but I take that with a grain of salt since those body fat scales are so undependable.

Overall, it was a good week. Hit all my workouts, ate well, and had a fun free day. The Eagles were in town for a concert on Friday, so I took that as my free day.

Start of Next Challenge - Week 0 (5/12/2008)

Today is the start of my next 12-week challenge.

Goals:

Body Fat: Lose 3.5% body fat (get down to 10%)
Weight: Lose 10.8 lbs (get down to 135 lbs)

Let the game begin!! :)

1 month after body for life challenge - keeping it off?

I thought I'd update my blog and share the progress since I ended my 12-week challenge on 3/30. Since that date, I've:

1. Went on a 8 day boat cruise to the Western Caribbean (April 6th - April 13th)

2. Spent a weekend out with some friends (May 2nd - May 4th)

Despite those two events, I've continued to eat well and work out every day. The scale is still showing progress, and I'm at 145.4 w/ 14.2% body fat.

I'll start up my next challenge on 5/12/2008 through 8/4/2008.

What does the scale say?

Here's a view form the scale's perspective :) Week 0 vs. Week 13.

Done! Week 13 Finished and Final Pictures/Videos

Wow, 89 days certainly went by fast! I started on January 1, 2008, and I finished up today, March 29, 2008.


Results? They turned out pretty good - it even beat my stretch goals. Overall, I lost 26.4 lbs and 4.9% body fat.

I started at 172 and weighed in this morning at 145.6. My initial body fat was 20.3% body fat, and my scale said 15.4% today.

This video tells a good story - it was filmed at Day 0 and today. Check out the difference!
