Well, well, well. This is really working well. So this week, due to a quirk in when we decided to weigh in, I lost a whopping 8.2lbs and about 4 inches off of my body. This is awesome and is providing all the motivation I could ever need to actually keep going with this. I have not done anything broad like come up with a goal weight or a goal body fat percentage, but at this point, who needs the pressure.
Overall, my results are as follows: total weight loss – 14.6lbs, total body fat % – 39.4, which seems to have increased again this week and I am not sure what to think about that. It should be going down, right? total inches lost overall is 4 1/2″ and it came from my neck and my stomach this time. And my hydration stays in a perfectly acceptable place in a number that I have not a single clue about understanding. However, my personal water and hydration levels was never a concern of mine, and putting down 100-120 ounces of water as required by this program is pretty much par for the course here.
This week we got protein back and I was even able to use a little bit of oil in some recipes, as long as they were healthy oils like olive oil or coconut oil. These have all been tagged on this site as phase II.
Cheers
