The moment I had been dreading has come and gone.
I finally got weighed today after three weeks. I decided to enjoy christmas & New Year and forget watching calories, not totally but just to treat myself.
I had blown all of my personal goals for 2007 out of the ball park, so I reckoned I deserved a good holiday! I still went to the gym every day and even on the days it was closed (Boxing day & New years day) I went on a one hour run.
Anyway, I had a seesion with the trainer at the gym and got on the scales and guess what......
I have dropped 1 lb since last time. I am now 213.8 lb
Now for the bad news.....
My body fat % has gone up
Basically, I have been doing no weights at all and have been concentrating purely on cardio. I injured my shoulder six weeks or so ago and decided to give it total rest until the new year. As a result, I have lost muscle and due to the christmas holiday I have gained body fat.
My new years resolution and goal for 2007 is to reduce my body fat % to below 10%.
I have no idea how difficult that will be but it is a goal and I have to have something to aim for. My body fat % is currently 26%
