Weekly Weigh In, Week 15

It's been a tough couple of weeks, particularly after I put on all that weight around the holidays. Essentially the act of "going up" and then "coming back down" added 4-6 weeks of what I might call "null activity" on the scale front. Thankfully when it comes to body re-comp, the weight lifting is seeing me through. Definitely switching to a 4 day a week training plan has accelerated the rate of loss of "inches" off my waist.

For measurements sake, look at my first photos - that's a 42-44 inch waist line. My current photos are a 36-38 inch waist line. This is still a good 4-6 inches higher than I would like, but it's about half of what I started from a hundred days ago.

I think that this is a much slower process than just simply restricting calories, but I've come to terms with it because I do enjoy the extra physical activity and I like how over the last 100 days my body shape has changed (I've become noticeably more muscular). In fact, while it's hard to tell from the pictures, my arms have grown so much muscle that they've grown bigger than the width of my hands.

Anyway, now that the holidays are over and my weight is going back down I'll monitor it over the next few weeks and see. I shouldn't see any more stalling since I doubt I can put on a whole kilogram of muscle a month any more. Basically by day 200 I want to have another 15 weeks of uninterrupted gym time and a scale measurement below 90 kg. That's probably a more realistic goal than the one that I set out for myself (which if you've been paying attention, I didn't even come close to meeting!)
